Double-Hung Spotlight – Viwinco Windows

Double-Hung Spotlight

Double-Hung Spotlight

When looking to choose windows for your home, the decision-making process can be overwhelming. Modern windows come in all shapes and styles, which can make it difficult to find the perfect blend of design, performance and functionality. One timeless classic that goes with nearly any architectural style however is the double-hung window. These windows boast clean lines and symmetrical appearance to effortlessly complement any home. 

What are Double-Hung Windows? 

Classic, stylish, and practical—double-hung windows have two operable sashes that smoothly move up and down. Counterweights (balances) housed in the frame facilitate their operation, and a lock and keeper on the meeting rail secure the window in a locked position. The versatility of double-hung windows shines through, seamlessly blending with traditional and contemporary home designs. 

Our S-Series new construction, Cambridge replacement, and OceanView impact-resistant double-hung windows come standard with Viwinco’s patented Tilt-n-Lock technology. With this innovative feature, additional reinforcement is housed inside the meeting rail, and enables single-handed operation with the turn of the lock. Since the mechanism is housed inside the sash profile, this eliminates the need for traditional tilt latches and provides clean sightlines. The three locking positions are used to indicate the status of the window. At the 0-degree position, the sash is securely locked, and the tilt latches are tightly secured into the jambs. At 150-degrees, the tilt latches are still engaged in the jambs, but the sashes are unlocked allowing the sash to be lifted. At 180-degrees the hidden tilt latches are disengaged from the jambs allowing tilt in window operation for easy maintenance. 

A Timeless Design

Among all the products we manufacture, double-hung windows are the most popular. This is in part due to their versatility and timeless design. Double-hung windows do well as standalone units, or in mulled configurations where they are joined to other double-hung windows or to different styles. They have been around for centuries and are still widely used in projects today. With the many options Viwinco offers on double-hung windows, these could be a great option for your next project!
