The double-hung window is perhaps the most familiar window type. It consists of an upper and lower sash that slide vertically in separate grooves in the side jambs or in full-width metal weatherstripping (see drawing). This type of window provides a maximum face opening for ventilation of one-half the total window area. Each sash is provided with springs, balances, or compression weatherstripping to hold it in place in any location.
We solve window and door challenges
We occasionally advise owners and contractors faced with window and door challenges on their projects. This leads to our supplying the project with products specified to remove the challenges, and our involvement aiding those tasked with installing them.
This is one of those projects.
The homeowners have loved their home, and nurtured the setting around it, since they built it in the 1970’s. The house reflects the owners and their changing lifestyles – it served them well as the home in which their children were raised, and now as a comfortable retreat to which to return from world travels.
French-style panels sport wider rails (horizontal frame parts) and stiles (vertical frame parts) and therefore have a smaller overall glass area. The bottom rail is taller than the top, and some manufacturers offer a mid-rail option which splits the glazing into upper and lower parts.
