Double hung windows
Double hung windows are a classic choice known for their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. Double hung windows are probably the most popular timber windows because they have a good weatherproof design. The window sashes remain inside the frame, so they don’t hang out when open. That's why double hung windows can be easily used in areas with limited opening spaces. They are easier to outfit with security, insect screening and privacy solutions.

Double Hung Window Specifications
The Woodworkers double hung window maintenance
Mechanical balances are warranted by manufacturer for 10 years. Replacement of broken spiral balances after this time is relatively simple.
FAQs
What is the difference between single hung and double hung windows?
A double hung window is a type of window that has two operable sashes that slide up and down — the top sash and the bottom sash. Both sashes can open to provide ventilation, but only half of the window is openable. A single hung window has only one operable sash — the bottom — while the top sash is fixed in place.
What are the standard sizes for double hung windows?
Standard double hung windows go up to 2100mm high x 1200mm wide on mechanical balances. The Woodworkers stocks sizes matched to traditional Queenslander window openings (up to 2100mm high x 760mm wide), with custom sizing available for any project.
How long do double hung window balances last?
The Woodworkers uses Whitco Spiral Balances, which are covered by a 10-year mechanical and structural warranty by Assa Abloy. After this period, replacing a broken balance is a straightforward repair rather than a full window replacement.
How much does a double hung window cost?
A stock double hung window from The Woodworkers Company costs between $876 and $3,900, depending on size and configuration. A single 2-light unit at 1000mm x 600mm costs approximately $876; a triple-unit configuration at 1800mm x 2636mm costs approximately $3,900. Custom sizing, obscure glass, weatherseals, and upgraded balances add to the base price.
How weather-resistant are double hung windows?
Standard manufacture achieves an N2 weathering rating, but can be upgraded with additional seals for use in cyclonic regions, making double hung windows suitable for most Queensland coastal conditions.
Can double hung windows be fitted with security screens or locks?
Yes. Double hung windows are easy to fit with security screens, though they should be hinged rather than fixed to allow cleaning access and emergency escape. Insect screens can be magnetic or retractable. The Woodworkers uses toggle fixed aluminium insect screens.
Why choose timber over vinyl or aluminium double hung windows?
Timber double hung windows offer natural insulation and a traditional look suited to heritage and Queenslander-style homes. Aluminium is significantly cheaper only in sliding window designs; for double hung and other hinged styles, timber and aluminium have little cost difference, and timber can be sanded and recoated indefinitely while aluminium cannot once weathering pits its surface. Unlike most off-the-shelf vinyl or aluminium options, timber windows can be custom-made to any size.
