We install a lot of double hung and single hung windows in homes throughout San Diego. They are some of the most popular styles of windows out there, fitting well in spaces needing a vertically oriented window. The Difference Between Double Hung and Single Hung Windows Double hung and single hung windows look very similar—both have a distinct upper and lower portion. The difference, however, is that in a double hung window, both the upper and lower sashes are operable, while in a single hung window, only the lower half is operable. It may seem unnecessary to spend a little extra money on a double hung window to have both sashes open, but since we know that warm air rises, having an upper sash that you can open to let out some of the warm air in your house that hovers near the ceiling can …

Anlin Replacement Windows: Why We Recommend them to Our San Diego Customers
At BM Windows, one of the replacement window brands we often quote to potential customers is Anlin. We are true believers in their products and have a great amount of respect for the company and how they do business. We often find ourselves needing to educate potential customers about Anlin replacement window products, since the company isn’t necessarily a “household name” like Milgard or Simonton.
