Compatible With Air Conditioners and Screens
Very Easy To Clean
The sliding up-and-down mechanism of double-hung windows allows them to safely contain air conditioners and window screens (unlike windows which open via a crank).
Modern single- and double-hung windows feature “tilt-out” upper and lower sashes.
(The sash is the part of the window responsible for keeping the glass in place).
This allows for quick and convenient cleaning. Instead of having to access a hard-to-reach area, all you need to do is tilt the window towards you and clean as needed.
As for single-hung windows, all that’s required to clean them is to remove the screen (which you should also clean on a regular basis), clean the glass, and replace the screen.
