DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOWS

Double-hung windows have two operating sash that move up and down allowing for ventilation on the top, bottom or both. Single-hung windows have only a lower operating sash for ventilation.

DOUBLE-HUNG REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

As one of the most common replacement window types, our double-hung windows are designed with replacement in mind. Our system at Great Plains Windows and Doors allows us to re-create original looks or provide an updated look to an existing window opening. Andersen double-hung replacement windows have two sashes in a single frame, which slide up or down to provide ventilation. Because their sashes remain flush to the wall while the window is open, they are a good choice for placement adjacent to patios, decks and walkways. Our double-hung windows feature thick, sloped sills, precision-milled wood interiors and historically accurate grille patterns, which bring authentic old-world character to homes of all ages in the Twin Cities area.

DURABLE

  • Built to withstand the elements, our double-hung windows are virtually maintenance-free, ensuring they look and perform like new for years.
  • Exteriors crafted from Perma-Shield®, Fibrex®, or metal cladding resist peeling, blistering, and corrosion, eliminating the need for frequent repainting.
  • Engineered to repel dents and water, the exterior frame provides robust, long-lasting protection in any climate.
  • Double-hung wood components are treated with water-repellent preservatives to guard against moisture damage.
  • A time-tested window design, refined over generations, guarantees reliability and peace of mind.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

  • Built with weather-resistant construction, these windows help you maintain a comfortable indoor climate year-round.
  • Enhanced weatherstripping prevents air leakage, keeping drafts, wind, and water outside where they belong.
  • Choose from various low-E glass options that help manage indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling expenses.
  • Our double-hung windows meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® v6.0 standards, delivering energy efficiency that you can trust.

BEAUTY & AESTHETIC

  • Capture a classic look with historically accurate window styles that enhance your home’s architectural appeal.
  • Thoughtfully designed wood and glass options add elegance and character, perfect for any style preference.
  • Precision joinery techniques, including mortise and tenon and mitered corners, add strength and aesthetic value to every window.
  • A wide selection of exterior colors, plus interior finishes in natural pine, white, or Fibrex®, offers a custom look.
  • Add exterior trim for a finishing touch that complements and accentuates your home’s design.
