Tony from Canadian Choice Windows & Doors describes the typical components found on a double hung replacement window and explains how to operate and clean it properly.
Thank you, I moved into a place with these windows pre-existing - a few were slightly open on top and I now know that I closed them properly (and the last guy who lived here didn’t!! 😆)
I’m searching to see if it’s appropriate to move the lower sash upwards during the winter. My wife thinks it goes down. I’m thinking since heat rises you want it up to trap that heat. You’d be surprised how hard it is to find the info on that. But I’ve only started
My brand new Windows have one corner on all of the bottom sashes where the tilt latches don't snap back into the frame without an excessive amount of force. What can this mean and what is the fix?
Thanks for the demonstration. My problem is I have a very hard time raising and lowering the windows. There's a silver looking bar on each side. I've tried WD40 and all kinds of cleaning products. What's the best way to get rid of the debris? I think dirt is the real problem in moving the frames. Thanks very much
I couldn't decide which one to get. Some said double hung is much better specially I live in a tropical area but some says single hung is much safer specially from storm or rainy seasons. I like the double hung because if I want to open it overnight, I can just open the top. But then with the single hung, its more efficeint, etc. Confused much! 😊
