About the Service

Double-Hung & Single-Hung Windows, Done Right

On a double-hung window both the upper and lower sash move. On a single-hung window only the bottom moves, which can simplify the frame and cost. Both are available in vinyl, fiberglass, wood and clad-wood.

We help you choose a grid pattern, color and glass package to suit your house, and we make sure the new windows fit the opening and the look from the street.

Music City Door & Window Services brings double-hung & single-hung windows to homes in Nashville and across 20 Middle Tennessee cities.

01

Which one?

Double-Hung vs Single-Hung

Double-hungs open from the top or bottom and are easier to clean. Single-hungs fix the top sash and can be a more simple, cost-conscious choice.

Questions About Double-Hung & Single-Hung Windows

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

What is the difference between double-hung and single-hung?

On a double-hung window both sashes move. On a single-hung only the bottom sash moves.

Do double-hung windows leak air?

Any operating window can leak if it is poorly made or installed. Quality units with good weatherstripping and proper installation seal well.

Can I get grids between the glass?

Yes. Grids between the glass, on the surface or true divided lites are all options depending on the line.
