Windows Understanding Double-Hung Windows Especially suited for classic and traditional properties, aluminium double hung windows come in two variations: those with two vertically mobile sashes and others with one immovable sash paired with a movable one (known as single-hung windows). When closed, the sashes align vertically, and when opened, they overlap, creating openings at the top and bottom. This ingenious design enables warm air to exit through the upper gap and cool air to enter from below.

Cords or counterweights are employed in aluminium double-hung windows to secure the sashes, preventing unintended movement. These windows can open up to 50% of the total window size. B&W Windows and Doors offer a trio of styles: the 500 Series, 1000 Series, and Sashless double-hung windows.

Advantages of Aluminum Double-Hung Windows:

Enhanced Air Circulation: Opening up to 50% of the window from both ends, double-hung windows deliver superb ventilation and airflow. Flyscreen Compatibility: Seamlessly accommodating fly and security screens, these windows are incredibly functional.
Timeless Aesthetics: The enduring visual appeal of double-hung windows makes them a favoured choice for older residences and structures with high ceilings.
Easy Cleaning: Unlike similar windows, cleaning the external surface of double-hung windows is uncomplicated.

Disadvantages of Aluminum Double-Hung Windows:

Restricted Opening Capacity: Compared to folding and servery windows, double-hung windows provide access to only half of the window size.
Two-Hand Operation: Operating double-hung windows necessitates the use of both hands.
