Double Hung Windows in Central New York | New York Sash

Double-hung windows put two operable sashes in one opening. Opening the lower sash brings air in at room level, while lowering the upper sash gives warm air another way out. The familiar vertical proportions suit colonials, farmhouses, capes, and many other Central New York homes without changing the character of the facade.

Planning Your Double Hung Windows Project

Both sashes tilt toward the room for cleaning, an especially practical detail on upper floors. Each unit is measured for its opening, and glass, grid, frame-color, and trim choices can be coordinated with the rest of the house. During an estimate, New York Sash checks the frame and sill so the installation plan accounts for the condition behind the old window.

A documented Rome living-room project replaced the old units with three custom Premier double-hung vinyl windows using double-pane, argon-filled glass. View local project.

Double Hung Windows Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows? A: A double-hung window allows both sashes to move; a single-hung window normally has only an operable lower sash. Two moving sashes provide more ventilation options. Q: Can both sashes be cleaned from indoors? A: The replacement double-hung models New York Sash offers have tilt-in sashes, so both exterior glass surfaces can be reached from inside. Q: Can I add grids without blocking operation? A: Yes. Grid patterns are contained within or applied to the glass and do not interfere with sash movement. The design can be selected during the consultation. Q: Will a double-hung window work with a window air conditioner? A: Often it will, provided the unit and opening are compatible. The estimator should confirm dimensions, support, and sealing rather than assuming every air conditioner will fit. Q: What happens if the sill under my old window is damaged? A: The opening is inspected after removal. Any concealed deterioration that affects a sound, weather-tight installation is reviewed with the homeowner before the new unit is finished.
