Single-Hung Window Replacement: an example by Windows Galaxy
Fewer moving parts, fewer worries.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

In a single-hung window only the lower sash moves. With fewer moving parts they are simple and sturdy, and the fixed upper sash gives slightly more glass area and a tighter seal at the top. They are a popular choice for bedrooms, basements, rentals and anywhere cost matters.

We replace the old unit with a custom-fit one, add insulation and sealant around the frame and finish the trim. If you want upper-sash ventilation, we will tell you plainly and show you the double-hung option beside it.

Why people choose it

Four things done right.

Simple and dependable

One moving sash means fewer parts to wear.

A tight top seal

The fixed upper sash is a bit airtight.

Friendly price

Often costs less than double-hung.
