Frequently Asked Questions
What are single-hung windows, and how do they work?
Single-hung windows feature a fixed top sash and a movable bottom sash that’s coil-balanced for smooth opening and closing. The bottom sash also pivots inward, allowing you to clean the exterior glass without leaving your house. They are a classic, affordable option that combines traditional design with modern convenience.
What's the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows?
The only difference is the sashes. A single-hung window has only the bottom sash that moves, whereas a double-hung window has both sashes that move. The lack of a moving top sash makes single-hung windows less expensive and a great choice for weatherproofing against Ottawa weather.
Are single-hung windows energy-efficient for Ottawa winters?
Yes. Our energy-efficient single-hung windows feature 7/8″ insulating glass with a Low-E coating and Argon, plus triple-seal weatherstripping and a bulb-seal design that eliminates air infiltration. Together, these features keep the cold out and the warmth in, helping you save on heating bills during Ottawa’s −30°C winters.
How much do single hung windows cost in Ottawa?
The cost of single-hung windows in Ottawa depends on their size, glass package, and hardware options. They are among the less expensive window styles because the top sash is stationary. BestCan offers a no-cost, no-obligation in-home estimate and transparent, no-surprise pricing before any work begins.
Can I customize my single hung windows?
Absolutely. Our custom single-hung windows in Ottawa are available in a variety of colours, finishes, and hardware to complement your home decor. Whether updating a heritage home or building new, we can help you select a style that complements your exterior while maintaining the classic single-hung design.
