Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?

Classic design, smart airflow, and year-round reliability – that combination is exactly why so many Ottawa homeowners still trust double hung windows. If you’re weighing window styles for your home, there’s plenty here worth a closer look.

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.

From start to finish, the experience was extremely pleasant. The team was very easy to deal with, arrived right on time, and worked quickly and efficiently without ever feeling rushed. They took great care to protect the space they were working in, leaving everything clean and tidy when they were done. They were highly professional, courteous, and genuinely pleasant to have around.

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 are a little more expensive, primarily because both sashes are operable and not just one. The added ventilation and easy cleaning usually justify the difference.

What is the most common double-hung window size?

The most common size we see across Ottawa homes is 24 by 36 inches. Sizing is not one-size-fits-all, but we custom build every window we install to your exact opening.

What is the disadvantage of double-hung windows?

Glass area takes a slight hit compared to a single fixed pane – that’s the main trade-off. The dual-sash mechanism, too, may need the occasional adjustment as the years go by.

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.
