Absolutely! When faced with severe winds and harsh weather, our exclusive sill interlock remains robust. Unlike conventional slope sill designs that may allow the sash to flex under strong winds, our innovative interlocking sash-to-sill system securely channels the sash into the window frame, creating a solid barrier of strength.

Double hung windows from Window World feature convenient tilt-in sashes. This design allows both the upper and lower sashes to tilt inward, making it simple to clean both the inside and outside of your windows. To effectively clean your double hung windows, just follow these steps:

• Start by unlocking your window and raising it approximately 2 inches.
• Next, adjust the wash assist tabs so they sit between the sash and the frame.
• Gently pull the lower sash towards you and support it on a stable object (be careful not to tilt it beyond 90 degrees).
• Then, lower the upper sash by sliding the tilt latches to the top and pulling the top window sash down, ensuring there’s at least an inch of space between it and the lower sash.
• Finally, push the tilt latches inward and tilt the upper sash towards you, resting it carefully on the lower sash.

By following these straightforward instructions, you’ll be able to thoroughly clean and maintain every nook and cranny of your double hung windows.

Both styles feature window sashes that move vertically. In single hung windows, only the bottom sash is operable, while the top sash remains fixed in place. In contrast, double hung windows allow both sashes to be opened and closed as needed.

At Window World, every double hung window is expertly installed by our team of factory-trained professionals. Our process includes meticulously setting, leveling, and caulking to guarantee that your new windows fit flawlessly. Discover more about our window installation process.

Double hung windows feature sashes that can both slide, providing the ability to open the window. To access the lower sash, unlock it and slide it upwards. For the upper sash, first unlock the lower sash, then gently lower the upper sash to your preferred height.

To secure your double hung window, it’s essential to ensure that your locks are properly aligned. Confirm that your upper sash is fully raised and your lower sash is completely lowered, so they form a tight seal. This will enable your locks to engage smoothly without any hindrances.
