Double-Hung Windows
A timeless classic, perfectly engineered
Double-hung windows feature two operating sashes that move up and down independently — making them easy to clean from the inside and ideal for ventilation control. It’s the most popular window style in America, and for good reason.
Understanding Double-Hung Windows
Why Double-Hung Windows Are a Charlotte Favorite
Double-hung windows pair classic American architecture with everyday practicality. Both the top and bottom sashes tilt inward for easy interior cleaning — no ladder required. You can crack the top sash for warm air to escape while the bottom stays closed, or open both for full cross-ventilation on Carolina spring days.
Our double-hung windows are custom-fit to your existing opening, with options for grids, hardware finishes, and dark exterior frames that aren’t available from typical replacement chains. Every one is engineered for our humid Southern climate.

Frequently Asked
FAQs About Double-Hung Windows
Are double-hung windows energy efficient?
Yes. With Low-E coated, argon-filled glass and a tight weatherseal between sashes, our double-hung windows meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® requirements for the Carolina climate zone.
Can I clean the outside of a double-hung window from inside?
Absolutely. Both the upper and lower sashes tilt inward, letting you safely clean the exterior glass without a ladder or pressure washer.
How long does it take to install double-hung windows?
A typical 10-window replacement takes one day. Larger projects (15+ windows) may take 1–2 days. We always confirm the timeline upfront and stick to it.
What sizes do double-hung windows come in?
Every window is custom-fit to your existing opening — we measure to 1/16″ so there are no gaps and no filler trim. Standard openings range from 24″×36″ up to 48″×72″, but we routinely build outside that range.
Do double-hung windows come with screens?
Yes. Half-screens come standard. Full-height screens, retractable screens, and pet-resistant screens are available as upgrades.
Are they good for older homes with historic character?
Double-hung is the most historically appropriate replacement style for homes built before 1960. We offer authentic grid patterns and color-matched exteriors that preserve original character while delivering modern performance.
