Frequently Asked Questions
What is a single hung window?
A single hung window is a type of window with two sashes: one fixed and one movable. The movable sash, typically the bottom one, can slide vertically up and down while the top sash remains stationary. Single hung windows are a traditional and widely used window style, known for their simplicity, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
What are the key features / benefits of single hung windows?
Vertical Sliding Operation:
The bottom sash of a single hung window can move up and down, allowing for ventilation. The top sash is fixed and does not move.
Simple Design:
Single hung windows have a straightforward design, making them easy to operate and maintain. They are often chosen for their classic appearance that fits various architectural styles.
Space Efficiency:
Since the sash opens vertically within the frame, single hung windows do not protrude into the interior or exterior space. This makes them ideal for areas where space is limited.
Where should single hung windows be used?
Single hung windows are versatile and can be used in various settings, including:
1. Bedrooms – Provide ventilation while meeting egress requirements in many cases.
2. Living Rooms – Offer natural light and ventilation with a classic appearance.
3. Bathrooms – Work well with frosted or textured glass for privacy.
4. Kitchens – Ideal above counters or sinks for easy operation and airflow.
5. Basements – Can fit smaller spaces while allowing light and ventilation.
6. Multi-story homes – Great for upper floors as they open from the bottom for safety.
Their simple design makes them suitable for both traditional and modern homes, with the bottom sash moving for ventilation and the top remaining fixed.
How much do single hung windows cost?
The cost of single-hung windows can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Size: Larger windows are typically more expensive than standard sizes.
Â
- Frame Material: Vinyl is the most affordable option, while wood, aluminum, or fiberglass frames can be more costly.
Â
- Glass Options: Standard double-pane glass is economical, while energy-efficient or specialty glass (like low-E coatings or triple-pane) can add to the cost.
Â
- Customization: Features like custom colours, decorative grilles, or unique hardware can affect the price.
Â
- Installation: Costs depend on whether it’s a simple replacement or involves structural modifications.
