Single-Hung vs. Double-Hung Windows: Choosing the Best Fit for Your Atlanta Home

When it comes to replacing windows in your Atlanta home, many homeowners feel unsure about which style is best. Single-hung? Double-hung? The names sound similar, but the differences matter when it comes to function, cost, and comfort. At Windowcrafters in Tucker, Georgia, we make both options and help you choose the right fit for your home.

In this guide, we will explain the differences, highlight the benefits of each style, and help you make a smart decision for your next project.


What Are Single-Hung Windows?

Single-hung windows have two sashes (the framed pieces of glass that slide up and down), but only the bottom sash moves. The top sash is fixed in place.

Benefits of single-hung windows:

  • More affordable than double-hung windows.
  • Fewer moving parts, which means less maintenance.
  • Slim profile, making them a great option for rentals and apartments.
  • Excellent for new construction or budget-conscious homeowners.

At Windowcrafters, our 900 Series single-hung windows are a favorite for property managers and homeowners who want reliable, cost-effective windows without sacrificing energy efficiency.


What Are Double-Hung Windows?

Double-hung windows also have two sashes, but in this case, both the top and bottom sashes move. This gives homeowners more flexibility in how they use their windows.

Benefits of double-hung windows:

  • Both sashes tilt in, making cleaning easy from inside your home.
  • Better airflow and ventilation since you can open both the top and bottom.
  • A classic look that fits well with custom homes and wood window replacements.
  • Great long-term value with energy-efficient options.

Our 700 Series double-hung windows are especially popular with Atlanta homeowners who are upgrading older homes or want a premium look at a fair price.


Which Style Is Right for You?

The choice between single-hung and double-hung windows depends on your priorities:

  • Choose single-hung if: you want a lower price point, simple operation, and a durable option for rentals or budget projects.
  • Choose double-hung if: you want easy cleaning, more airflow, and a style that adds long-term value to your home.
