The classic window with two sashes that slide up and down, tilt in to clean and suit nearly any style of home.
Double-hung windows are the most familiar window in Tennessee. Both the upper and lower sash slide vertically, so you can open the bottom for a breeze, the top to let warm air escape or both at once. Most modern double-hung windows also tilt inward, which makes cleaning the outside glass easy from inside the room. They fit brick ranches, colonials, craftsman homes and new construction alike, and homeowners in Nashville choose them more often than any other style.
We talk through the frame material, the glass package and the grid pattern, and we bring samples so you can see how the sashes move and how the lock feels. We measure each opening, check the frame and install the windows level and sealed. We also explain the difference between double-hung and single-hung windows, so you can decide whether the extra moving sash is worth it for each room. After installation we show you how to tilt, clean and lock the windows.
Opening both sashes gives you ventilation at the top and bottom, which helps move air through a room.
Tilt latches let the sashes swing inward so you can reach the outside glass from inside the house.
Grids between the glass, simulated divided lights or no grids at all can suit modern, traditional or farmhouse styles.
Good balances keep the sashes up and light to lift. We use hardware that suits the size and weight of each window.

The windows are ordered or made to your sizes, inspected when they arrive and the work areas are protected.
We remove the old windows, set the new ones plumb and level, flash, insulate, seal and trim each opening.
We clean up, haul away the old windows if you asked, walk you through the finished work and explain how to care for them.
In a double-hung window both sashes move, and in a single-hung window only the bottom one moves. Double-hung gives more ventilation options and easier cleaning.
Any window can if it is poorly made or installed. Good weatherstripping and a careful install keep them tight.
