Single-Hung Windows

A single-hung window looks like a double-hung window from the outside, but only the bottom sash moves. The top sash is fixed in place, which means fewer moving parts, fewer places for air to leak and often a lower price. They are a good choice for rooms where you do not need to open the top, such as basements, hallways, many bedrooms and rental properties. Homeowners in Nashville choose them when they want clean looks and reliable operation without paying for features they will not use.

We look at each room and ask how the window is used. For rooms where ventilation matters, we may suggest double-hung or casement windows. For others, single-hung is a sensible, durable choice. We measure carefully, choose the frame and glass and install the windows with the same attention to sealing and flashing we give any window. We also show you how the lock and sash work so everyone in the house knows how to use them.

Fewer moving parts

With one operating sash there are fewer parts to wear, and fewer gaps where air can sneak through.

Good value

Single-hung windows often cost less than double-hung windows with the same frame and glass.

Where they fit

They suit many bedrooms, basements, hallways, rentals and spaces where upper ventilation is not needed.

Cleaning

Most single-hung windows tilt in at the bottom, but the top sash may need to be cleaned from outside.
