Quality Double-Hung Replacement Windows
For The Minneapolis Metro Area
Double-Hung Is The Most Popular Window Type
In The Twin Cities…And For Good Reason!
Zen Windows Twin Cities has been installing double-hung windows in our area for decades (their usage goes back centuries). Learn more below.
The Basics Of Double-Hung Windows
Single- and double-hung windows look similar from a distance, as they both have upper and lower sashes.
The key difference is that double-hung windows have two operable sashes you can move up and down to control ventilation. A single-hung window’s upper sash is fixed in place, and you can only move the bottom sash up and down.
Single-Hung vs. Double-Hung Windows
As you can see in the graphic here, the primary difference between single-hung and double-hung windows lies in how the sashes operate. But that’s not all that separates these two popular types of windows.
Other differentiators include:
- Cost: With more moving parts, double-hung tends to be slightly higher in cost.
- Air Quality: Your home generally gets better ventilation with double-hung windows.
- Energy Savings: Featuring low air leakage and resistance to condensation, our award-winning Energy Star® replacement windows offer incredible efficiency, particularly our double pane and triple pane models with gas insulation.
No matter which style of double-hung window you choose, our expert installation ensures your windows operate as they should over the long haul…and look great while doing so.
