Hung windows are a popular choice in residential households, due to their versatility, ease of operation, and simple yet classic design. The lower sash on these windows will slide up or down and allow airflow to enter your home. Allowing you to see the outside through a clear unobstructed glass.
On single hung windows, the top sash is hung and fixed in place, which causes the window to not move or tilt inwards. The bottom however, is fully operable. As a result of half the window being fixed in place, only half of the window can let air into your home. However, this can be a positive characteristic, as they are more energy efficient than their double hung counterparts.
Welcome to Gold Leaf Windows & Doors, where craftsmanship meets comfort. If you're considering upgrading your home with windows that combine timeless design, modern energy efficiency, and hassle-free functionality, double hung windows might be your perfect solution.
At Gold Leaf Windows & Doors, we specialize in premium window and door solutions that meet the needs of Canadian homeowners. Whether you're building new, renovating, or replacing drafty old windows, our team delivers tailored solutions that withstand Canadian weather and bring lasting value to your home.
Double hung windows are a classic window style where both the upper and lower sashes can move vertically and tilt inward. This design provides flexible ventilation and easy cleaning—especially on second floors.
While the design dates back centuries, today’s double hung windows are anything but outdated. With modern features like low-E glass, insulated frames, and enhanced locking systems, these windows deliver impressive energy efficiency and security, especially for homes in the diverse climate conditions of Canada.
Canada’s weather can swing from freezing winters to hot, humid summers. That’s why it’s critical to choose windows that are not only durable and efficient but also functional all year round. Here’s why double hung windows in Canada make sense:
Double hung windows offer top and bottom sash movement, giving you control over air circulation. Open the bottom sash to let cool air in or the top sash to let warm air out—perfect for year-round comfort.
Energy efficiency is vital in Canadian homes. Our double hung windows come equipped with thermal breaks, argon-filled glass, and multi-chambered frames, which help reduce heat loss in winter and keep interiors cool in summer. You’ll notice a difference in your utility bills.
Unlike casement or awning windows that swing outward, double hung windows open vertically. This makes them ideal for tight spaces, such as walkways, porches, and smaller rooms.
One of the standout features of double hung windows is the tilt-in sashes, making it simple to clean the interior and exterior glass from inside your home. This is especially helpful in multi-storey homes where ladder work is risky or inconvenient.
Double-hung windows have a timeless look that complements both traditional and modern architecture. Whether your home has brick, siding, or stone, these windows blend in beautifully.
At Gold Leaf Windows & Doors, our double hung windows are built with premium materials and engineered for Canadian conditions. We source and manufacture windows that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® performance ratings.
We understand the unique challenges posed by snow, ice, rain, and wind across Canada. That’s why every window we install is designed to keep your home comfortable, quiet, and protected.
