Double-Hung Windows Pictures
Double-hungs are one of the most common type of window available. Specifically, they contain an upper and lower sash that open and close for ventilation.
Each sash consist of framework of stiles, rails, and mullions, horizontal and vertical wooden slats, in which panes of glass, sometimes called lights or lites, are set. Furthermore, some window manufacturers provide pre-assembled dividers that snap in place over a single light, dividing it into six or eight lights, facilitating painting and other maintenance.
Double-hung windows can be arranged in a number of ways. For example, as a single unit, in sets of two (mullion), or in groups of three or more. Additionally, one or two double-hung windows on each side of large stationary fixed frames are often used to create the effect of a window wall but the surrounding headers must be large enough to carry roof loads.

Balance springs counterbalance the sliding sash to hold it in place at the desired spot. Specifically, compression weather-stripping seals off drafts and acts as a counterweight and some varieties allow the sashes to be removed for easy painting or repair.
Double hung windows allow light and air into the house. Additionally, they enhance a home’s architectural design. For example, double hung windows nicely complement ranch-style homes. Conversely, casement windows better complement Colonial or Cape Code homes.
Window hardware often includes the sash lifts and handles along the meeting rail. Hardware also includes safety locks to prevent intruders from opening the window from the outside.
