A double hung window consists of two vertically sliding sash in a single frame. Both sash are counterbalanced by a spring-powered block-and-tackle balance mounted on the side of each. You can open both sash from the top or the bottom for ventilation and a special latching mechanism provides an inward tilt that makes cleaning every inch of frame and glass, inside out and out, a breeze.

Double hung windows are suitable facing walkways, decks, and other traffic areas because the sash do not project outward. A full perimeter weather strip provides superior weather protection while allowing easy sash operation. Both the upper and lower sash can be securely closed with the cam-type sash lock. An insect screen is installed into the outside track.
