Double-hung windows are the most common window in Indianapolis-area homes. Both the top and bottom sashes slide up and down, and both tilt inward so you can clean the outside glass from inside the house.
Why homeowners choose double-hung
- Traditional look that fits colonials, farmhouses, and most subdivision homes
- Ventilate from the top, bottom, or both
- Tilt-in sashes for easy cleaning on second floors
- Available with grids, black exteriors, and upgraded glass
Double-hung vs single-hung
On a single-hung window only the bottom sash moves. Double-hung windows cost a little more, but they’re easier to clean and ventilate better. Most of our customers choose double-hung.

Frequently asked questions
Do double-hung windows leak air more than casements?
Any sliding sash has a little more air movement than a crank-out casement, but a quality double-hung with good weatherstripping performs very well. If airtightness is your top priority, ask about casement windows.
Can you add grids?
Yes. Grids between the glass are available in several patterns and colors.
