Timeless Elegance and Practicality with Prism View Glazing

Double hung windows are a classic window style that blends traditional design with modern functionality, making them an ideal choice for homeowners who value both style and performance. At Prism View Glazing, we offer high-quality double hung windows that provide excellent ventilation, ease of use, and long-lasting durability. Whether you’re renovating a period property or adding a touch of elegance to a new build, double hung windows can enhance the look and functionality of your home.

What Are Double Hung Windows?

Double hung windows are designed with two vertically sliding sashes: the upper sash and the lower sash. Both sashes can move up or down, providing multiple options for ventilation. The flexibility to open the top or bottom sash allows for optimal airflow, helping to keep your home fresh and comfortable. The design of double hung windows also offers a timeless aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary homes.

Modern double hung windows are available in a variety of materials, including uPVC, timber, and aluminium, to suit different tastes and performance needs. They are equipped with high-performance glazing to improve energy efficiency and sound insulation, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

Why Choose Double Hung Windows?

• Excellent Ventilation and Airflow: One of the most significant benefits of double hung windows is their ability to provide excellent ventilation. By opening both the top and bottom sashes, you can create a natural airflow that helps to circulate fresh air throughout your home. The bottom sash can be opened to allow cooler air to enter, while the top sash can be opened to let warm air escape. This makes double hung windows an excellent choice for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in every season.
• Aesthetic Appeal and Versatility: Double hung windows are known for their timeless, classic appearance. Their symmetrical design and clean lines make them a popular choice for homes of all styles, from traditional to modern. Whether you’re renovating a period property or designing a contemporary space, double hung windows can add an element of sophistication to any room. Their versatile look complements a wide range of architectural styles, including colonial, Georgian, and Victorian.
• Space-Saving Design: The vertical sliding design of double hung windows makes them an ideal option for spaces where outward-opening windows might be impractical. They are perfect for rooms with limited space, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or narrow hallways, where a window that opens outward could obstruct furniture, walkways, or outdoor spaces. Since the sashes slide up and down within the frame, double hung windows do not require additional clearance for opening, making them an efficient choice for tight spaces.
• Easy to Clean and Maintain: Cleaning double hung windows is a breeze thanks to their design. Many modern double hung windows feature sashes that tilt inward, allowing for easy access to both the inside and outside of the glass. This feature is particularly beneficial for windows on higher floors or hard-to-reach areas, as you can clean both sides of the glass safely from inside your home without the need for a ladder or scaffolding. Additionally, double hung windows are available in low-maintenance materials such as uPVC and aluminium, which are resistant to rot, warping, and fading, making them easy to care for over time.
