What are Double Hung Windows?

Double-hung, also known as sash and double-sash windows, are the most popular option in Western Washington and most U.S homes. They are made up of two pieces—or sashes—that slide up and down, and they are set vertically on top of each other so they make a rectangle, meeting in the middle with a locking mechanism.

Why Choose Double Hung Windows?

These windows open from both the bottom and top, while staying flush with the wall, providing great ventilation when you are needing a gentle breeze on a gorgeous Western Washington day, like when Lake Michigan sends cool breezes across Milwaukee during a warming summer, also known as “the lake effect“.
Cleaning is also a breeze with Pella’s double-hung windows. The ability to slide both sashes up and down gives you maximum access to both . And Pella’s double-hung windows even tilt inward to make it easier to clean the exterior of the glass. Remember to clean top to bottom, outside to inside.

Because they are made up of two pieces

They create good airflow options while creating a simple, easy-to-maintain window for your home. This also makes them a more affordable option. The ability to open the top piece as well as the bottom piece makes them excellent for those trying to keep pets or children inside, while creating airflow with the top sash. Additionally, Pella’s double-hung windows have options for Pella’s Rolscreens, blinds-in-widow, child safety screens and night latches.

Pella Windows & Doors of Western Washington Reviews

Hear about how we’ve helped tens of thousands in Western Washington.

"We had a great experience with our rep, Summer Million. She explained the different options available after asking what our needs and preferences were, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Pella doors and windows are beautiful and well-made. I highly recommend them and Summer if you are in the market for doors or windows."

Sandi Roberts

"When it came time to replace my windows and doors, I contacted Pella. I knew they had a great product and competitive prices. What I didn't know was how well I'd be taken care of. Jon Carter met with me after work and spent a couple hours explaining their product and various choices I had. He helped me design new window placements and was so helpful and patient while I made the right choices for my home. Because of Jon's outstanding customer service, I feel confident with my choices and can't wait for my project to begin! Thank you Jon and Pella Windows!"

Karen Greenbaum

"...Kristen arrived promptly as scheduled, had detailed knowledge, and comfortably answered lots of questions. Code issues, energy efficiency, the range of materials options and their pros and cons, and design choices were all discussed. Her understanding of the product features and installation process, financing options and warranties were all clear. At the same appointment she walked through and took measurements and provided a quote before she left. She checked back with us on added questions and answered them all promptly and with no pressure. We did explore other options - some higher priced, some lower, all with some confusion and frustration. We are pleased to have selected Pella Impervia (fiberglass) and even more pleased to be working with Kristen to get this project completed."

Lisa Nicholson

"So professional on every front. From the estimate through the installation, the communication and professionalism was the best that I’ve seen! Every time I walk in my house and I see these beautiful new windows. I know that I am going to be comfortable in an amazing environment that is nice and quiet. Thank you, Pella!"

Leslie Lemm

"We had Pella windows of NW WA replace two of our bay windows with new Impervia full pane windows as well as our kitchen, office, bedrooms and a new patio door on a small deck off our upstairs bedroom. Our views have vastly improved without all the frames.
The Pella team was so impressive and amazingly quick with the removal of the two bay window structures and replacing not only the old windows with beautiful new windows but the workmanship of replacing siding, trim and the caulking finish as well as the beautiful interior casings and trim with caulking finish was really incredible. They installed eight windows and one patio door in one and a half days. Very professional and very clean work. Thanks Pella!"

Dave Riendeau

"Maks and Ian were stellar installers that took care to ensure the work was top notch, the house was kept clean and safe, and they communicated with us throughout the entire project. I have had many contractors in my home, these two are welcome back anytime I need their master craftsmen skillsets!"

Randall Cahoon

"On Thursday, October 10, a technician from your company arrived to make the repairs on my Pella sliding door. Having nothing better to do, I hung around and watched Jesse work. I was VERY impressed at Jesse’s attention to detail, his knowledge of making the repairs and his craftsmanship in making the repairs. He answered all my questions, was friendly and helpful. As a result of his work, the door is now working as good as new! It was a pleasure meeting and having Jesse in my home and just wanted to let you know what an asset he is to your company."

Double-Hung Window Frequently Asked Questions

While single-hung windows are more affordable, double-hung are easier to maintain and much more versatile.

Pella double-hung windows have a few exclusively innovative window screen options. The Hidden Screen appears when you open a Pella 250 series double-hung window and disappears when the window closes -- allowing 44% more natural light. Pella Reserve double-hung windows offer the Rolscreen -- the invention that launched Pella and still a 2019 Most Innovative Window from Window and Door Magazine -- that also rolls up when the window opens and rolls back when the window closes. Pella's patented In-View screen lets in 14% more light and more air than conventional screens.

Pella can add style and flexibility to your Lifestyle Series double-hung window by integrating shades and blinds between the panes of glass -- protecting them from dust, damage and little or furry hands, reducing allergen build up and saving the clean up work. Available in a wide range of materials, they operate without cords and can even be motorized and operated through Pella's Insynctive technology.

Double-hung windows can come in a wide variety of grid options, including gridless, farmhouse, Victorian, prairie, craftsman and colonial, to name just a few.
