Single hung vs. Double hung which is better?Most homes
especially older models have what is known as a single hung wind.
It typically slides up and down on the vertical only! Because if
this there are less things to brake in this model of window frame.
The Double hung has the ability to slide on the vertical (up and
down) as well as let you tilt both sashes in for cleaning. It also
is more convenient for air ventilation. A double hung window lets
you conveniently open the top and bottom sashes to better control
air flow into a room. A price note, single hung windows for the
most part are cheaper in price then a double hung unit, again this
goes back to moving parts.
