Encompass by Pella® Vinyl Single-Hung Window

The difference between single-hung and double-hung windows is the number of sashes that move. A single-hung window has one fixed, or non-operable, sash and one operable, or moveable, sash. A double-hung window has two operable, or moveable, sashes.

Because only one sash is moveable on a single-hung windows, they are great for homeowners who are looking for potential cost savings replacing multiple windows and for replacement on the first floor of a home. Single-hung windows can be slightly more efficient than double-hung windows, as there are fewer moving parts which reduces the opportunity for air infiltration. To learn more about what makes single-hung windows unique, check out this article.

On select product lines, the bottom sash of single-hung windows tilts in, making it easy to clean both the interior and exterior surfaces from inside the home. Since the top sash is stationary, the exterior surface of the upper half will need to be cleaned from outside the home. View step-by-step cleaning instructions in this video.

When it comes to measuring your windows for replacement, remember to measure the product width and height. Follow these instructions on how to measure windows and get the most accurate dimensions.

In general, Pella's vinyl windows are more budget friendly than fiberglass or wood windows. Of the vinyl window product lines, Encompass by Pella® is the most affordable.
