Double Hung Window FAQs

A double hung window features two operable sashes that slide vertically within the frame. Both the top and bottom sashes can be opened independently, giving you greater control over airflow. In our aluminium double hung window range, this design allows warm air to escape through the top while cooler air enters below—ideal for balanced ventilation in living areas and bedrooms.

The main disadvantage is that double hung windows have more moving components than fixed or sliding windows, which can make them slightly more expensive. They also don’t open as wide as some sliding window configurations. That said, modern aluminium double hung windows use spiral spring balancers for smooth, reliable operation and long-term durability.

Yes- double hung windows open both ways. Both the upper and lower sashes open vertically. This flexibility allows you to control ventilation based on weather conditions, privacy needs, or safety considerations—something single hung windows cannot offer.

The main difference between double hung and triple hung windows is that double hung windows have two operable sashes. Triple hung windows are far less common and include three vertically stacked panels, typically used in heritage or specialist architectural applications. Our range focuses on aluminium-framed single and double double hung windows, which are more practical, easier to maintain, and better suited to modern Australian homes. We also offer a range of other configurations with fixed lites, lowlites and fixed lites with lowlites, ensuring there’s an option for all applications.

Double hung windows are generally better than single hung windows if you want flexibility. While single hung windows only open from the bottom sash, double hung windows allow airflow from both top and bottom. This makes them more versatile for ventilation, especially in multi-storey homes or rooms where airflow control is important.

Double hung windows are chosen for their combination of classic styling and modern performance. They suit bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and upper floors where controlled ventilation is essential. Many homeowners also choose them for their timeless appearance, which works well in Hamptons, heritage-inspired, and contemporary homes alike.

Modern aluminium double hung windows are held up by spiral spring balancers concealed within the frame. These balancers counter the sash weight, keeping the window open at any height without slamming shut and ensuring smooth, consistent operation over time.

Double hung windows suit a wide range of home styles. They’re commonly used in Hamptons-style homes, period-inspired designs, and modern builds seeking a softer, more traditional window profile. When combined with fixed lites and low lites, they also work beautifully in contemporary layouts.

Double hung windows and sliding windows suit different layouts and priorities. Double hung windows allow ventilation from both the top and bottom sashes, which helps regulate airflow more precisely — warm air can escape from the top while cooler air enters below. This makes them particularly effective in bedrooms and multi-storey homes where airflow control and safety matter.

Sliding windows, on the other hand, generally offer a wider clear opening and are easier to operate in larger spans, making them popular for living areas and kitchens. Sliding windows are also well suited to configurations where fixed panels, low lites, or high lites are used alongside operable sections to maximise glass area.

If you’re deciding between the two, our comparison guide explains the differences in performance, ventilation, and layout options—see our detailed comparison of Sliding Windows vs Double Hung Windows.

Awning windows hinge outward from the top and are excellent for wet-weather ventilation, while double hung windows offer more flexibility in how air moves through a room. Each has its strengths depending on placement and room use.
