Single Hung Windows and Double Hung Windows
The windows in a house are sources of natural light and ventilation. They also serve as decorative centerpieces or as conversational works of art.
Going through and understanding the process of constructing, engineering, designing, and installing windows may be a lot for you to do. But, the good thing is that this is where we come in to help you find the best decision.
Growing Diversity in Window Types
Window designs have evolved throughout the years. The modern era has embraced a more contemporary approach to its architecture. Yes, classic designs will always be in demand, which instills inspiration to the designer so he can create more variations in it.
From different window shapes like triangle, octagon, square, rectangle, and circle windows; to its openings which differ from the one that opens sideways, canopy-like styles, and sliding ones; this has allowed the available options in the market to grow as well.
Space owners like you must understand their preferences and the best place available for the windows. Once you do, it’ll be more practical to determine the right fit.
Never Go Wrong With the Classic Choices
The existence of such diversity in windows has allowed owners to be more confident in voicing their preferences, as well as for the designers to be more creative.
Apart from its design and structure, another point to focus on when ordering windows is your budget. There are many ways to create a type of window that matches your requirement. However, if you are one of those people that prefer a classic and affordable piece, then we recommend Hung windows.
There are two options for this type: Single hung windows and Double hung windows. This window type is usually a standard choice of people around the world for its practicality and simplicity. Both embody a classic and minimalistic approach when it comes to both interior and exterior design.
When to Choose Single Hung Windows
This type of windows is a popular pick for new home owners, office spaces, and building apartments.
People who are mindful of their budget prefer Single hung windows. It is confirmed to be 10 to 20% cheaper than Double hung windows and other variety of windows available in the market. Those who intend to install some hung windows would choose to be practical, and of course, pick this one.
Cleaning may be a little less impractical when it comes to this type of window, especially if you prefer to perform it on your own. If the budget permits, it is recommended to hire professional cleaners for they have equipment and tools to do it better.
When Is It Time to Go for Double Hung Windows?
Like Single hung windows, Double hung windows are also rectangular shaped windows divided into two. However, the former enables the movement of both upper and lower panels of the windows. The ability to open both panels increases more access to natural light and ventilation.
When it comes to cleaning, it is easier to maintain this type because of its movable and adjustable panels. Both panels are flexible enough to be stirred and titled vertically to reach the access point in the area where it needs cleaning. Space owners occupying the ground floor have the advantage of cleaning the exterior and interior parts of the window more conveniently with its flexible panels. One can do this without the use of professional cleaning aids and equipment.
The aesthetics offered by this Hung-window type is the same. It also utilizes a different architectural design for added variety. Also, it uses the same sturdy materials that are obviously seen in their sleek coats.
Our company believes that getting windows as a decoration with specific functionalities need critical and smart thinking. It is a must to prioritize practicality before glamor; durability before complexity; and most importantly, usage before aesthetics.

I purchase the windows one year ago for my property from this company, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The showroom is great, and Sasha took the time to provide all the information I needed to pick the perfect windows. Sveta was incredibly patient and kind, always answering my calls and questions—even with the many changes I requested! The team in the office is always welcoming and professional, which made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. The quality of the windows is excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I’ll definitely be coming back for future investment properties. Thank you again for everything, "After yer of using my new windows, I recently encountered an issue, and the service department was incredible in handling it. They resolved the problem quickly and at no extra cost, which I really appreciated. From my very first interaction with the service manager, I felt well taken care of and am so glad I chose this company. Their professionalism and prompt response left a lasting impression, and I highly recommend them for their outstanding customer service!

I contacted Factory Direct to replace sixteen windows and six doors. I right away felt extremely comfortable with Sasha, the rep that came to take initial measurements. He was truly knowledgeable and explained everything in detail, answered all my questions and had a sample of the frame they would use. His presentation was the best I saw, and I did call multiple companies I knew right away I was going to choose Factory Direct.The next steps went nicely and smoothly as well. Sveta handled sending me the estimate and making all the adjustment required until we were happy with all the choices. She was very professional and patient. Factory Direct offered me better quality at a competitive price.Last step delivery and Installation, the team showed up on time, they promised everything would be done in 2 days and they delivered. Ujen the project manager and his team worked like machines. They were quick and did not waste any time and they cleaned everything. They did an excellent job.So far, no regret, I’m incredibly happy with my choice. Thank You.

I had a great experience with Factory Direct when changing my windows and front door. I am really satisfied with the outcome; the new windows and door have completely transformed the look of my house. The process was smooth, thanks to Sasha and Sveta, from sales to closing. I especially appreciate Sveta's patience in answering my questions and her help with Renoclimat.

I used services of Factory Direct for 2 projects (2 different houses). Both times it was done excellent! We changed the patio door, front door and windows (4 windows in one house and 11 in another one). Their team was very experienced and super efficient. They did their job with good quality and at the same time were able to finish within 2 days (for our big project, 11 windows, including those on the roof + front door and patio door). I also liked their windows' frame much more than any other window I've seen at my friends houses. They have wide frame and esthetically it looks very nice! The cost was also very good comparing with similar companies. I would highly recommend their service!

After 2 years window installation, I’m satisfied with Factory-direct. The first is the service, it’s easy to communicate and always respond on time. Second, the quality is good, the new windows give us efficiency isolation to keep warm in winter.Here I especially thank for Sacha, the rep who brings friendly and professional suggestions and estimation.Now I will order big patio doors with them for my new solarium.They’re worthy to be trusted and recommended.

We chose Factory Direct Windows to replace our windows based on their high-ranking reviews. Initially, we were skeptical due to past bad experiences with construction companies not delivering on quality and deadlines. However, when we met Sasha and later spoke with Sveta, we immediately noticed a difference.We received quotes from several companies and visited their showrooms, and it was clear that Factory Direct Windows offered superior quality. The key differences were their much longer warranty and flexible payment arrangements—they didn’t require full payment before installation, which reassured us that we would have leverage if the product quality wasn’t as promised. Sasha offered us a great deal that left no doubt about choosing them, and Sveta quickly arranged everything for us.Even then, we remained skeptical, having previously dealt with companies whose behavior and communication changed drastically after contracts were signed. To our surprise, we received a call a week before the promised deadline to schedule the installation. When the installation team arrived, we were amazed by their politeness and attention to detail. They handled everything as promised, without any mess, and even cleaned up after themselves.Based on our previous renovation experiences, we were prepared for a full day of cleaning, but after installing all the windows, we only needed a quick vacuum—and we were done! I wish other construction companies would hold themselves to this company's standards.We are 100% satisfied and highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality windows, excellent customer support, and a hassle-free installation experience. Thank you, Factory Direct Windows, and special thanks to Sasha and Sveta!

Nous avons fait changé toutes les fenêtres et portes de notre chalet. Bien que l’installation a été faite en retard sur l’horaire prévue au départ (environ 2 semaines), mon épouse et moi sommes très satisfaits des résultats. L’équipe s’est appliquée et a fait un travail remarquable. Toujours poli et efficace, ils ont accompli leurs taches avec brio. Bravo à tous en commençant par Shan et Sveta qui a toujours répondu rapidement à toutes mes demandes! Hautement recommandé!

As a cabinet maker and furniture builder i have to say it was a pleasant experience to have my windows done by them in july 2024. i spoke with Tony (sales rep.) for the first time in April and everything went smoothly from there. We had several exchanges and i even visited the shop in ville-saint-laurent where i met Max which is their head installer. They gave me a quote considering extras for cutting slightly larger openings for most windows (10 windows total) and i was stunned to see that they were nearly 4000$ cheaper than the big name competitor and the guarantee was better as well. Max came by to take the final measurements and as promised my windows were installed within 7 weeks. They were a team of 3 men (Max and his boys) and they got all the windows done in 1 day (i couldn't believe it), urethaned and caulked. Great price, Great service, and i am more than satisfied. Even with my 22 years experience in woodworking and cabinet making i would not have done a better job. definitely recommend these guys!!! thx Tony and Max!!!

I had my windows changed recently with Factory Direct Mtl mainly because of the exceptional customer care and follow up I received from Sasha & Sveta. They took the time to explain everything to me without any pressure. They guided me through the application process, for the renoclimat/greener homes gouv. program, where I would be entitled to some reimbursement for their qualifying energy star windows. They backed up their quoted prices and followed through with their word. The team who changed the windows were also very professional and organized. My windows look great and satisfy my expectation. They also guarantee & back up their quality & workmanship. Overall it was a positive experience for me and I would recommend them with out any hesitation.

I highly recommend FactoryDirect because they did an outstanding job. It all started with Sasha's excellent presentation, followed by Sveta's detailed estimation. Despite the numerous changes I requested, Sveta always remained pleasant and provided great service. Eugene measured my windows accurately, and Anthony and his crew were exceptional. They worked efficiently, cleaned up after themselves, and were punctual and friendly. Their teamwork was like a well-oiled Swiss watch. I'm truly grateful for their incredible work. The pricing was also unbeatable after comparing with others. Do yourself a favor and choose FactoryDirect Windows and doors. It's a company I trust, and I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends.
