Double Hung Windows

Double hung windows: Letting in the breeze without letting anything out

Living on the Gold Coast, that breeze is sometimes at a premium. Double hung windows allow both the top and the bottom sashes to be open. The flexibility is particularly great for homes that combine low windowsills with children or pets. Opening the top sash of a double hung window lets the breeze in while closing the bottom sash stops the kids and the pets falling out.

You can have them sashless too: with Aneeta windows there’s no wood or aluminium across the horizontal part of the window.

Where double hung windows work

Double hung windows work best in buildings with tall, narrow openings. They can also be installed in doors — fixed panel standing doors, bifolding doors or just plain doors. You get the breeze without having to leave the door open.

Double hung sashless windows are also a perfect choice for servery windows or to meet balustrade needs.

The Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape lends itself perfectly to securing a double-hung window. The would-be intruder can’t get in but you can get out quickly in an emergency, if the window in question is one of your possible escape routes.

Prices for double hung windows
