Single Hung Windows
Timeless Design. Lasting Performance. Installed by Local Craftsmen Who Care.
If you’re looking for a window that delivers beauty, simplicity, and dependable performance, single-hung windows are a smart choice. At Boston Doors & Windows, we install high-quality, energy-efficient single-hung windows that perfectly balance value, durability, and classic style — all back ed by honest local service and expert craftsmanship.
What Is a Single-Hung Window?
A single-hung window features two sashes — a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that slides vertically for ventilation. The bottom sash moves smoothly up and down, while the top remains stationary for a tighter, more energy-efficient seal.
It’s a simple yet elegant design that’s been trusted in New England homes for generations.
Here’s why homeowners love them:
- Smooth, easy operation with one moving sash
- Superior energy efficiency thanks to fewer moving parts
- Tight seal that minimizes air leakage
- Easy to use and secure
- Works beautifully in traditional or contemporary home designs
