Only the bottom sash operates on a single hung window.

Single hung windows are affordable and can still dress up a home.

The bottom sash tilts in for easy cleaning.

Single hung windows have two sashes, one above the other. The top sash is fixed in place and the bottom sash is operable. 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 hungs, single hungs are still used to replace existing windows or in new construction.

Single hung windows are often more affordable than double hungs because only one sash operates. No mechanisms are needed to operate the top sash so expenses are minimized.
