Weights and cords double hung windows enable easy operation with both sashes moving up or down individually. Each sash is counter balanced by weights in a boxed frame at the sides. Double hung is a very traditional window type that represents authentic heritage style – and is also known as double sash. The look of each window can be altered according to the type of horns or profile to sashes. You can have either timber or aluminium flyscreens fitted externally and restricted opening for pool safety.
Double hung windows offer versatile features that make them a good choice for different types of rooms and for multi-storey homes. They are ideal for locations around verandas and walkways as their sashes do not open outwards.
At Redwood we also manufacture a traditional-style wooden sash window with a modern counterbalanced sash system which utilises the weight of one sash to balance the weight of the other. By sliding up the lower window, the upper window will move equally downwards.
Redwood is an expert in custom-made double hung sash windows and we welcome the opportunity to discuss how they may fit the window requirements for your next project.
