The Double Hung window consists of two sashes, one on top and bottom.
Both slide up and down as well as tilt in for easy cleaning. The sliding action is made possible by stainless steel coils (balance system), which support the weight of each sash.
The bottom sash is primarily used for opening the window, although the top sash can also be slid downward for ventilation.
A half screen is standard, but you can upgrade to a full screen and open both sashes for maximum air flow.
