Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?
Double hung windows remain a trusted option among homeowners in Ottawa, thanks to their timeless design, practical ventilation, and consistent year-round performance. If you’re evaluating window styles for your home, this option offers several features worth considering.
Improved Airflow Control
Double hung windows let you open both the top and bottom sashes at once. That creates natural convection, pulling cool air in from below while warm air exits through the top. On a muggy summer evening, that airflow pattern makes a noticeable difference, and you’ll feel it right away.
Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
Both sashes on a double hung tilt window fold inward, so you can wipe down the exterior glass from inside your home. For two-storey properties, this tilt feature turns a dreaded chore into a five-minute job.
Timeless Window Design
The vertical profile of double hung tilt windows integrates well with a wide range of architectural styles, such as colonial homes and modern builds. Unlike trendy window shapes that come and go, this classic style doesn’t lose its curb appeal. Your home looks sharp today, and it’ll stay that way for decades.
Energy Efficiency
Today’s double hung tilt window models feature multi-chambered frames, Low-E glass coatings (which reflect heat back into your home), and argon gas fills between panes for added insulation. They block heat transfer in both directions, keeping Ottawa winters outside and your energy bills noticeably lower.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking about installing double hung tilt windows, but still have a few questions? Here are some answers to help you better understand this window style.
What is the lifespan of a double-hung window?
Most double hung windows last 20 to 30 years with proper care. High-quality vinyl frames often push closer to that upper range.
Which is more expensive: single or double-hung windows?
Double hung windows cost a bit more because both sashes operate. The added ventilation and easy cleaning usually justify the difference.
What is the most common double-hung window size?
The most popular size in Ottawa homes is around 24 by 36 inches, though we custom-build to fit your exact openings.
What is the disadvantage of double-hung windows?
The main trade-off is slightly less glass area than a single fixed pane. The dual-sash mechanism also needs occasional adjustment over time.
What is the average cost to replace a double hung window in Ottawa?
Most homeowners in the area pay between $400 and $900 per window installed. Contact Advantage Enterprises for a free, no-pressure quote.
