How Double-Hung Windows Work
A double-hung window has two sashes that both slide vertically, letting you open the window from the top, bottom, or both — useful for airflow control and easier cleaning since many tilt inward.
Impact-Rated Double-Hung Options
Double-hung windows are available in impact-rated, HVHZ-compliant versions for South Florida, combining the classic look and function with the wind and impact protection the building code requires here.
Where They Fit Best
Double-hung windows are a common, versatile choice for most rooms and architectural styles, and are often mixed with other window types (casement, sliding) depending on the room and opening size.
Cost & Energy Considerations
Impact-rated double-hung windows use laminated glass that also reduces UV transmission and outside noise, which can meaningfully improve comfort beyond just storm protection.

“Ricketts handled our roof repair after a bad storm and made the whole process easy — showed up when they said they would, explained what was actually wrong, and kept the property clean every day. Would recommend them to anyone in South Florida.”
