What Are Single Hung Windows?
Single-hung windows are a popular, efficient, and cost-effective window style ideal for both modern and traditional homes. At Spire Building Supplies, we deliver high-performance window solutions—especially single-hung vinyl windows that combine durability with timeless design. As a trusted name in the industry, we ensure every window we offer—like our INSPIRE VINYL SH 2060 and INSPIRE VINYL SH 2644 models—meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.
Whether you’re a builder, contractor, or homeowner, understanding the advantages of single-hung windows can help you make informed decisions that enhance both aesthetics and function.
Understanding Single-Hung Windows
Single-hung modern windows feature two sashes: a fixed upper sash and a movable lower sash that slides vertically. This design makes them ideal for rooms facing walkways or patios, where outward-opening windows could be obstructive.
Unlike double-hung windows, single-hung windows have only one movable sash—making them more energy-efficient and easier to maintain.
Key Benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Fewer moving parts mean a lower chance of air leakage, thereby improving thermal insulation.
- Space-Saving: They open vertically, making them ideal for tight or limited spaces.
- Cost-Effective: Typically more affordable than double-hung options, offering excellent long-term value.
Enhanced Security and Noise Reduction
Right Single-hung windows are also a smart choice for homeowners focused on security and noise reduction. Due to their simplified design, they offer fewer entry points, thereby reducing exposure compared to other window types. With proper seals and high-quality vinyl frames, they also help in dampening outdoor noise—making them ideal for homes near roads, schools, or busy neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows?
Single-hung windows have a fixed top sash and a movable bottom sash. Double-hung windows allow both sashes to move. Single-hung windows are often more energy-efficient due to fewer moving parts.
Are single-hung windows energy efficient?
Yes. Especially models like the INSPIRE VINYL SH 2060 and SH 2644, which use low-E glass and argon gas for insulation. This helps reduce heat transfer and energy bills.
Can I clean a single-hung window from the inside?
Yes. Many modern single-hung windows—including our INSPIRE models—feature tilt-in lower sashes for easy indoor cleaning.
Are vinyl windows durable?
Absolutely. Vinyl resists moisture, warping, and insects. It’s also virtually maintenance-free, making it ideal for long-term performance.
Do single-hung windows meet code for bedroom egress?
In many cases, yes. Always check your local building codes. Our team can guide you to compliant options like the SH 2644, often used in bedroom settings.
