How Double-Hung Windows Differ from Single-Hung Windows
The primary difference between double-hung and single-hung windows lies in the operation of their sashes. Double-hung windows feature two operable sashes — both the upper and lower panels can slide vertically.
While both feature two sashes, double-hung windows have both the upper and lower sashes designed to move independently, offering greater flexibility in design and maintenance. In contrast, single-hung windows have a fixed upper sash, with only the lower sash being operable. This distinction also impacts cleaning ease and aesthetic options, making double-hung windows a popular choice for homeowners seeking versatility and traditional style.

Our double-hung windows feature sturdy, low-maintenance frames made from aluminum and vinyl, chosen for its resistance to warping, corrosion, and fading caused by Florida’s intense sun and humidity. These materials not only provide long-lasting structural integrity but also help maintain a beautiful appearance with minimal upkeep.

This minimizes heat transfer, keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which reduces energy bills significantly.
In addition to high-quality frames, FAS double hung windows incorporate cutting-edge glazing technology, including double or triple-pane glass with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and argon gas fills.
