If you’re upgrading or replacing the windows in your New Orleans home, you’ve probably come across the term double hung window—but what exactly does that mean? At Wholesale Siding Supply, we believe informed customers make the best decisions, so we’ve created this simple guide to help you understand this popular window style.
A double hung window is a classic, versatile window design where both the upper and lower sashes can move up and down independently. Each sash also tilts inward, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
This functional design makes double hung windows one of the most popular choices for residential homes—not only in New Orleans but across the country.
New Orleans has a unique blend of history, weather challenges, and architectural styles. Double hung windows offer benefits that are especially valuable in our region:
Being able to open both the top and bottom sashes encourages better airflow, helping homes stay cooler during hot Louisiana days.
Tilt-in sashes make it simple to clean upper-floor windows without ladders—ideal for the traditional two-story homes found throughout the city.
Whether your home is a historic Uptown cottage or a new construction in Metairie, double hung windows offer a clean look that complements any design.
Today’s double hung windows, like those from Simonton, Wincore, and MI Windows, are built to block heat and humidity while improving indoor comfort and lowering utility bills.
At Wholesale Siding Supply, we carry premium double hung windows from top manufacturers and offer expert advice on what works best in New Orleans’ climate. Whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner, we’re here to guide you through the selection and purchasing process.
