Double hung windows are the most widely installed window style in American homes — and for good reason. With two independently operable sashes that slide vertically within the frame, a double hung window gives you flexible ventilation, easy cleaning from inside the home, and a classic appearance that suits virtually any architectural style. Tulsa Window Pros installs double hung windows for homeowners across Tulsa and the surrounding metro area.
If your existing double hung windows are drafty, difficult to operate, or showing signs of seal failure between the panes, replacement is the most effective fix. Modern double hung units are a significant upgrade over windows installed even ten to fifteen years ago — tighter seals, better insulated glass, and improved hardware that operates smoothly for decades.
How Double Hung Windows Work
A double hung window has two sashes — an upper and a lower — that both slide vertically within the frame. Unlike a single hung window where only the lower sash moves, both sashes on a double hung unit are operable. This gives you more control over ventilation: open the lower sash to let cool air in at floor level, open the upper sash to let warm air out near the ceiling, or open both together for maximum airflow through the room.
On most modern double hung units, both sashes tilt inward for cleaning. This is a significant practical advantage in a two-storey home — you can clean both the interior and exterior glass surfaces from inside the room without ladders or reaching out of the window. For homeowners replacing older windows where exterior cleaning was a genuine hassle, this feature alone is often reason enough to upgrade.
Energy Performance in Tulsa’s Climate
Tulsa summers are long and hot. A double hung window with a low solar heat gain coefficient keeps radiant heat from driving up indoor temperatures and increasing the load on your air conditioning system. In winter, a low U-factor rating means less heat escaping through the glass. All double hung windows we install carry NFRC certified performance ratings so you know exactly what you’re getting before installation begins.
We install double hung windows with argon gas fills and low-E glass coatings as standard — the combination that delivers the best thermal performance for Oklahoma’s climate across all four seasons.
