A single hung window is a rectangular frame with 2 sections of glass inside. One on top of the other. The top section (or sash) is stationary. The bottom sash slides up. Only the bottom sash goes up & down. This is sometimes referred to as a vertical single slider. The factory screen for a single-hung window is always a half screen.



It is sometimes confused with a double hung window, but a double hung is different because both the bottom and top sashes move up and down.

When compared to a double-hung window in the same line, the single-hung windows would be more secure, tighter sealed, have a stable frame, require less service, & be easier to operate

The Benefits of Single Hung Windows

Single slider windows offer a wide range of advantages that make them an attractive choice for window installation and replacement. The largest benefits include:

  • They are more tightly sealed – The top sash is permanently sealed into the main frame so it doesn’t need extra room on either side between the sash and the main frame to allow for movement up and down. Think about it. When a sash moves in a frame, it must be smaller than the frame or it can’t move.

  • They are more stable than double hung windows – Both sashes in a double hung come out of the frame. Imagine they are both out of the frame. The frame would bend back and forth when you slightly push on it. There is nothing in the middle to give structural support. If you fix the top sash permanently in the frame, then you have a lot of additional support to the frame whether the bottom sash is in the frame or not.

  • They Have Less Service Problems – A double hung window has 4 balances to raise and lower the sashes. One balance for each side of the bottom sash and one for each side of the top sash. A single hung window only has 2 balances and only one sash opens. It is simpler and has less moving parts to break.

  • Single-Hung Windows are More Secure – Since only the bottom sash is opened on a single-hung window, it is always low and easy to get to. Even when it is time to close it, you only need to grab the bottom and pull it down.

  • The Frame is Easier To Operate – Since only the bottom sash is opened on a single-hung window, it is always low and easy to get to. Even when it is time to close it, you only need to grab the bottom and pull it down.
