Double-Hung Windows

Plan your made-to-order double-hung windows

Plan sash access and opening size

Both sashes move vertically and tilt inward for cleaning. Allow room inside for tilting and operating the sashes, including around blinds and furniture. The clear opening is smaller than the overall frame size. Check the selected size against your project’s ventilation and egress requirements before ordering.

Compare glass for your climate

For Midwest and Northeast projects, compare double-pane and triple-pane packages using the whole-window U-factor and SHGC for the selected configuration. Lower U-factor means less heat transfer; SHGC describes solar heat gain. Sun exposure, shading and local requirements matter too. Confirm the applicable ratings and any certification for your final size and glass package.

Review the complete order

Your configured price depends on the size, glass, finish and selected options. Review quantity, taxes, freight and any order-level charges separately, and confirm final dimensions before purchasing. Panes supplies custom windows across the continental US; arrange installation with your contractor. Confirm freight access and delivery timing before scheduling the work.

Double-hung window prices by size

Compare three made-to-order double-hung frame sizes with the same finish, glass and flange. Both sashes move vertically for ventilation from the top or bottom. These examples use the same dimensions as our single-hung comparison so you can compare the two operating styles.

White exterior / white interior · Without nailing flange · Double-pane Low-E 272 / clear with argon

Price is for one made-to-order window with a regular screen and no grilles. Brickmould and interior jamb extensions are excluded. Tax, freight and installation are separate. These are editable starting configurations, not in-stock sizes. Frame dimensions are not rough-opening or clear-opening dimensions; confirm the final measurements and installation details before ordering.

Compare double-hung and single-hung configurations

Compare two 32 × 54 inch examples with matching finish and glass. Both double-hung sashes move vertically and tilt inward. The single-hung alternative keeps the upper section fixed and uses a moving, tilt-in lower sash.

Check reach and sash support

Both sashes tilt, but cleaning still requires safe reach and support following the product instructions. Check the space available around furniture and blinds before choosing the layout.

Confirm the usable opening

Frame dimensions are not clear-opening dimensions. Ask your installer to confirm the ventilation and emergency-escape requirements for your room and chosen size. An upper opening is not a fall-prevention device.

Included in these examples: Each example has white exterior and interior, a regular screen, no grilles and no nailing flange. Brickmould and interior jamb extensions are excluded. Prices are for one complete configured window; tax, delivery and installation are separate.

White/white and black exterior/white interior are available for these styles. Open a configuration to choose a finish or the version with a nailing flange. Confirm the installation method before choosing the flange; custom dimensions and options change the price.

Estimated production is 15–20 business days, followed by freight transit. For US projects, arrange measurement and installation with your contractor. Confirm freight charges, unloading access and delivery timing for your address.

Views from the Panes configurator

Two operating sashes, from both sides.

Both sashes move vertically: raise the lower sash or lower the upper sash. Both tilt inward for cleaning. Compare the exterior and interior finishes on this same configuration, then choose the size and glass for your opening.

Made to order by Panes.

The NFRC directory identifies Panes Window Manufacturing Inc. as the manufacturer. Our published reference tables connect each window family and glass package to its CPD number, so you can compare the window you plan to order.

1. Define each opening

   Record frame width and height, finish, glass and installation flange. Check access to both sashes and space around the window for tilt-in cleaning.

2. Review before production

   Match every opening to the approved configuration and itemized price. Confirm the whole-window rating for the selected frame and glass combination.

3. Plan the arrival

   Allow 15–20 business days for window production, then freight transit. Arrange measurement and installation with your contractor; confirm your delivery address, freight charges and receiving access.

Plan your window order

Planning several openings? Start with a 10-, 15- or 20-window mix, then adjust the types, frame sizes, quantities and options. The estimate covers products; freight, tax and installation are separate.

Whole-window performance you can compare

Panes manufactures certified casement, awning, hung, slider and fixed window systems. Compare published NFRC reference configurations, including lift-out and tilt slider series and both low-profile and high-profile fixed windows. The directory identifies Panes Window Manufacturing Inc. as the manufacturer.

U-factor

Heat transfer through the complete window. Lower values indicate better insulation. U.S. values use Btu/(h·ft²·°F); metric equivalents use W/(m²·K).

SHGC

Solar heat gain coefficient, from 0 to 1. Lower values admit less solar heat.

VT

Visible transmittance, from 0 to 1. Higher values admit more visible light.

These reference configurations have no grilles. Each row preserves the NFRC manufacturer code for its frame, glass and gas combination. Select the matching series and glass package, and confirm the CPD number and label for your order. Different glass, grilles, frame systems and joined assemblies can have different ratings.

For Midwest and Northeast projects, compare heat transfer, winter sunlight and summer exposure together. A lower U-factor indicates less heat transfer. A lower SHGC admits less solar heat; a higher SHGC admits more. VT describes visible light transmission. Orientation, shading and local code affect the choice. NFRC ratings alone do not establish ENERGY STAR eligibility.
