What are Double-Hung Windows?
A double hung window is a classic window style with two operable sashes that slide vertically within the frame – allowing fresh air to flow in from the bottom while warmer air escapes through the top. This dual-sash design offers greater control over ventilation and indoor comfort, making it a smart and stylish choice for homeowners across Alberta.
At Best Solution Windows and Doors, we supply premium double hung windows engineered for lasting performance in Calgary, Edmonton, and surrounding Alberta communities.

If you’re renovating or planning a new build, our team ensures a perfect match for your home’s design and climate needs – delivering beauty, function, and year-round comfort in every window.
Double Hung Windows Styles
Clean Design for a Wide Range of Homes
This classic style features two operable sashes that slide vertically within the frame, offering effortless airflow control from both the top and bottom. Traditional double hung windows have simple lines and a timeless profile, making them compatible with a broad spectrum of home designs — from historic renovations to newly built properties. Their clean appearance and reliable performance make them a popular choice for homeowners seeking year-round comfort, low-maintenance operation, and enduring curb appeal throughout Alberta’s changing seasons.
Historic Charm with Contemporary Performance
Inspired by traditional architectural styles, colonial double hung windows feature divided lights or decorative grids that create the look of multiple smaller panes within each sash. This symmetrical pattern evokes a classic aesthetic commonly found in Colonial, Georgian, and Federal designs. At the same time, these windows are built to meet today’s energy efficiency standards, combining timeless character with modern materials, insulated frames, and advanced weatherproofing — making them ideal for Alberta’s climate and for homeowners who want to balance heritage detail with long-term performance.
Tailored Designs for Unique Architectural Needs
Custom double hung windows are designed to meet the needs of homeowners with non-standard openings or specific architectural visions. These windows offer flexibility in every aspect — from frame materials and finishes to hardware styles, grille patterns, and color options. Whether you want to replicate a historical look or introduce a modern design element, custom double hung windows allow for complete personalization.
Each unit is carefully crafted to ensure a seamless fit, energy-efficient performance, and visual harmony with your home’s exterior. This style is ideal for homeowners across Alberta who value individuality, high-quality craftsmanship, and long-term durability. By combining custom aesthetics with advanced functionality, these windows help bring your creative vision to life while enhancing your home’s comfort and efficiency.
Advantages of Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows feature tilt-in sashes that make it easy to clean both the interior and exterior surfaces from inside your home. This design is especially convenient for upper-story windows, helping homeowners maintain crystal-clear views without the need for ladders or exterior access.
With vertically sliding sashes, double hung windows don’t require extra clearance to open outward — making them ideal for patios, balconies, walkways, or any areas where exterior space is limited. Their streamlined design is perfect for maximizing space without compromising ventilation.
Built with sturdy locking mechanisms and high-quality materials, double hung windows offer enhanced home protection. Their secure construction helps deter break-ins while maintaining smooth operation, giving homeowners added peace of mind.
