Double-Hung Windows
An elegant approach to bring the outdoors into your home
Double-hung windows offer flexibility in ventilation and comfort from inside the home. Done right – with the right specialists and the best materials – double-hung windows can bring distinction and functionality to a home like no other type of window.
Built with two window panels that either slide open or swing out, double-hung windows are becoming an increasingly popular way to allow for more ventilation in a room and fuse functionality with beauty.
This functionality makes double-hung windows almost a requirement for those who enjoy the smell of fresh-cut grass while also giving you a greater amount of natural control over the temperature of a room.
We have installed Double Hung Windows for over 75 years, RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist only uses the best materials for every job. That’s why we use PROTEC Replacement Windows.

Our PROTEC windows are built so they are unable to absorb moisture. This means that your windows will never rot, guaranteed!
