What Are Single-Hung Windows?

Affordable Replacement Windows

At Liberty Home Solutions many times in our initial customer interaction we explain the different types of replacement windows available to them. Today, we are showcasing Liberty’s single hung windows. Single hung windows are a very common replacement window in Springfield Missouri and throughout the Ozarks.

How Single Hung Windows Work

Only the bottom sash operates on a single hung window.

Single hung windows have two sashes, one above the other. The top sash is fixed in place, and the bottom sash is operable. Please see the picture to the right for the visual representation. The window looks like a double hung window, but only the bottom sash slides up and down to regulate airflow. Although not as common as double hung, single hung are still used to replace existing windows or in new construction.

Customers who are looking for an energy-efficient replacement window, but with a tight budget found extreme value in our line of sign hung windows because they are more affordable than double hung or other types of windows we offer.
