Double-Hung Windows in Toronto & the GTA

Double-hung windows offer two vertically operating sashes: the lower sash opens upward and the upper sash opens downward. This gives you more choice over where the ventilation opening sits without an outward-swinging panel. Imperial Windows & Doors supplies and installs vinyl double-hung replacement windows for homes throughout Toronto and the GTA.

On tilt models, both sashes can tilt inward for cleaning using their release controls. The tilt position is for maintenance; normal ventilation uses the vertical sliding position. We demonstrate the operation and explain how to support each sash safely. Frame finishes, grille patterns and insulated glass options let you coordinate the new windows with your home’s appearance and comfort needs.

A detailed estimate considers dimensions, glass, finishes and the installation work around each opening. Our family-owned business has served local homeowners since 2010, with guidance from Henry, Imperial’s owner and window and door expert. Compare single-hung windows for a fixed upper sash or casement windows for crank operation, and review our installation process.

Fusion-welded vinyl frame and sash corners create a rigid assembly with fewer open corner joints.

A removable full screen can cover the upper and lower ventilation openings. Confirm the supplied screen configuration.

Multi-chambered vinyl frames contribute to insulation. Indoor humidity and ventilation also influence condensation.

Interlocking sash profiles help the upper and lower panels meet securely when closed.

Tilt-in features on both sashes provide cleaning access. Follow the selected model’s release and support instructions.

Sash locks hold the panels closed. We demonstrate the locking controls included with your window.

Weatherstripping helps limit drafts around both operating sashes when the window is closed and locked.

Compare available insulated glass packages, Low-E coatings and spacer systems as a complete specification.

Sill design and drainage are part of the window system. Keep drainage paths clear according to the care instructions.
