Double Hung Window Features & Options
Vinyl Construction
Windowsville hung windows are made from a unique, 100% lead-free Canadian-made premium uPVC. As a result, our windows withstand impact and discolouration better than competition.
Looks Fitting any Design
Our hung windows can come in both traditional window look and contemporary designs depending on your preference and window location.
Structural Construction
Our hung windows come standard with precision mitered, fusion-welded corners, providing attractive appearance and eliminate the need for adhesive and sealants. Welding of internal walls yields increased structural solidity.
Easy-to-remove Screen
Our easily removable hung window screens are placed on the inside of the window, where they are more protected from the elements and can be removed by one light pull. While featuring a light construction and elegant design, the screens are sturdy and provide protection allowing maximum air flow.
Low-E Glazing Options
While Low-E coating is not visible for most of its grades and lets most visible light through, it provides year-round solar control and comfort in all types of weather. In hot weather it rejects the sun's heat and harmful UV rays. In cold weather, it reflects heat back into the room. Different levels of Low-E coating are available.
Argon gas filling
The inside of the thermal glass unit is filled with argon instead of air. Argon is an inert, odourless, safe gas, which is denser than the air. As a result, our hung windows provide reduced inter-pane convection and yield improved thermal insulation efficiency. Coupled with the Low-E coating, Argon brings the temperature of the window closer to room temperature, while also offsetting water vapour to prevent condensation.
Warm Edge Super Spacer
The non-metal, structural foam spacer is the seal that keeps the glass unit in place. The dual-seal unit combines the sealant that performs the adhesive function and the second sealant which has moisture and vapour resistance properties. Both sealants perform well in both high and low temperatures and withstand height humidity and ultraviolet exposure.
Internal Air Chambers
Our hung windows have high number of sash air chambers, providing them with top perfect insulation and effective sound proofing advantages, as well as thermal efficiency and increased sturdiness.
Organic Foam Chamber Insulation
Certified organic polyurethane foam injection ensures safe and toxin-free insulation, while improving the overall thermal and sound performance of the hung window.
Double and triple-pane insulated thermal units
Our hung windows can come with two or more layers of glass joined in a completely triple-sealed thermal unit which provides effective barrier to heat, humidity, and sound transfer for optimal comfort.
Integrated brickmold
A brickmold is an exterior trim of the hung window, framing it like a picture. It is used to fill the gap between the window and the exterior surface (stone, siding, brick, stucco etc.) while aesthetically providing a richer look. We provide various sizes and styles of brickmolds, which can be bent into shapes for shaped windows to accommodate every design.
Stylish cam locks
Our heavy duty cam locks ensure security and are manufactured for durability to withstand the weight and pressure of any size hung windows. The sash can open with either left or right sliding option.
Interior Finishes
Vinyl casings are an ideal solution for an enhanced look in your house. Vinyl is a perfect material for a casing because it does not deteriorate, chip, fade, or rot with time. We provide advanced technology with the finest materials for durable, flawless finishes that will retain their original colour with time. There is a variety of options when it comes to selecting rosettes (trim corners), that will add a unique look to your hung window.
Get Creative with Grille Options
Make your hung windows special by adding unique decorative grille pattern. Decorative grilles can make an otherwise standard window look extraordinary and add a whole new dimension to your home appearance. Majority of home owners prefer the look of grilles in their windows to complement the architectural design and augment the look of their home. Any grille configuration is compatible with any grille type to get the desired effect.

Glass Options
Textured Glass
Textured glass can be a beautiful addition to any room, adding a touch of elegance and style. Textured glass is known for offering superior privacy while allowing sunlight in and is remarkably versatile. Windowsville offers a variety of textured glass options, so you can choose the ideal glass for your property.
Tinted Glass
Should you prefer to add a gorgeous exterior look to your house, increase privacy, reduce the brightness of exceedingly sunny rooms, and control the climate of your space more effectively, tinted glass may be an excellent option. It comes in bronze and grey hues and is becoming increasingly popular. Additional benefits of tinted glass are glare prevention on computer or to screens, less visibility from outside, better furniture and fabric preservation due to more effective blocking of UV light, and to name a few.
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is often called safety glass due to being 4 to 5 times stronger than ordinary annealed glass, which makes break-ins through windows much harder to do. It is heat resistant and its thermo stability is twice that of the regular glass, meaning it can withstand higher temperatures. In addition, should the glass break, it does not separate into large and dangerous chards as the regular glass does, but shatters into small pieces, significantly reducing the risk of injuries especially for young children.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is constructed of two layers of glass which are bonded together with interlayers to form a permanent bond. The interlayers work to support and hold the glass to create a strong, uniformed layer even when broken making the glass remain in its frame. The strength of laminated glass make it almost impossible to break, so any unauthorized person would struggle to gain entry. Other important benefit of laminated glass is that it causes noise waves to become disrupted when they travel through the material, helping to significantly reduce noise pollution.
Self-Cleaning Glass
Self-cleaning glass is a cutting edge technology in windows and doors industry. It is a special coating applied to the exterior of the window blocking streaks from precipitation and build-up on the glass from forming. This effect is achieved by forming an invisible "screen" on the glass surface, which, during precipitation, causes the water to glide off the glass rather than leaving droplets of moisture, which are the cause of streaking. This option is particularly useful for larger and hard to reach windows.
A double-hung window, also known as a double-sash window, features two movable sashes that slide vertically. It consists of both a top sash and a bottom sash, both capable of opening to allow for ventilation. This design facilitates the escape of warm air through the upper sash, while cooler external air enters through the lower sash, enhancing overall comfort. This quality makes double-hung windows a particularly suitable choice for multi-story residences.
Double-hung windows are a popular choice for many homes, and their advantages are numerous. Here are some key benefits:
Ventilation: Double-hung windows provide excellent ventilation options. You have control over the amount of airflow, simply by sliding the bottom sash upward and the upper sash downward. This makes it easy to regulate the room's airflow. Additionally, they complement air conditioning units effectively.
Energy Efficiency: Double-hung windows have a high energy efficiency rating. Their double-locking design ensures a tight seal against weather elements. This means they keep out cold air in winter and allow fresh air in during warmer days. This helps reduce reliance on electrical cooling and heating systems. You can also opt for features like fiberglass or low-E glazing for added energy efficiency and durability.
Maintenance: The design of double-hung window systems makes them easy to clean. Tilting each sash allows you to clean both sides effortlessly. Moreover, you can clean them from inside your house, eliminating the need for exterior access. This feature is particularly beneficial for windows on higher stories, as it eliminates the need for climbing a ladder to clean the exterior surface.
Air Leakage: Unlike casement windows, double-hung windows may not provide as tight a seal. This may necessitate the use of weatherstripping in winter to prevent cold air and pests from entering the house. Keep in mind that weatherstripping will need periodic replacement as it wears out.
Maintenance: Double-hung windows require regular cleaning and dusting to ensure they stay in optimal condition. Additionally, the pulley mechanism and locks should be lubricated regularly to prevent rusting or stiffness. While modern options, especially those with fibreglass or vinyl frames, may require less maintenance, they still need more attention compared to picture and single-hung window systems.
Cost: The design complexity of double-hung windows, with two fully operable sashes, makes them more expensive. They incorporate more mechanical components and intricate design features compared to other window styles. Consequently, they tend to have a higher price point than some alternatives like single hung window systems.
