Double Hung Windows
If you live in the northern U.S., you know how important it is to have windows that can handle the extremes—freezing winters, strong winds, and everything in between. Window Concepts offers high-quality double hung windows that are not only built for energy efficiency and durability, but also offer unique features that make everyday life easier. With two operable sashes that tilt in for easy cleaning, double hung windows provide superior ventilation control—open from the top, bottom, or both. Their timeless design blends beautifully with any home style, while modern materials and craftsmanship ensure long-lasting performance through even the harshest Midwest seasons.
What Is A Classic Window Style?
A double hung window is a type of window that has two movable sashes – This improves ventilation throughout your home! Opening both sashes creates better airflow by allowing warm air to escape through the top and cool air comes in through the bottom.
What Are The Benefits of a Double Hung Window?
- Easy to clean: Our double hung windows have tilt-in sashes, so you can clean the outside of the window from inside the house.
- Smooth & Reliable Operation: Modern windows are designed to open and close effortlessly, without sticking, jamming, or needing extra force — even after years of use.
- Durability: Built with weather-resistant frames and finishes that won’t peel, chip, or warp, meaning less upkeep over time and no need for repainting.
- Instant Style Upgrade: Custom interior and exterior trim colors can refresh the look of your home inside and out, adding a clean, modern touch.
- Boost in Resale Value: Energy-efficient, stylish windows are a major selling point — a smart investment that adds long-term value to your home.
- Custom Options: Choose from a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes to perfectly complement your home.
- Lower Energy Bills: Our windows help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which means your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard- and that can lead to real savings.
- More Comfortable Living: No more drafts or hot/cold spots near windows. High-performance glass and better insulation means your home stays consistently comfortable year-round.
- UV Protection: Our windows come with coatings that block harmful UV rays, helping to protect your floors, furniture and decor from fading.

EnergyStar standards are guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify energy-efficient products — like windows — that help reduce energy use without sacrificing performance or comfort.
For windows, these standards are based on:
- U-Factor: How well a window keeps heat inside your home.
- Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): How well it blocks heat from the sun.
- Climate zone performance: Such as the northern US states where the windows need to meet higher insulation and performance ratings to qualify.
At Window Concepts, we only install windows that are built to meet or exceed these standards — because we know how important performance is in our extreme northern climate.
