You no doubt recognize these classic windows, even if you’re not familiar with what they’re called. Find out why you might choose a single-hung window over a double-hung window (or vice versa) — plus get the answers to your most frequently asked questions.  

From the style of the hardware to its finish, don’t overlook this detail! If you want the most traditional look, hardware with more detailing is just right — think curves, ridges, and similar flourishes.
