Single hung, fixed upper sash
One moving sash, an easy lock and a tidy look.
On a single hung window the upper sash stays put while the lower one rises and tilts inward, leaving less to operate or adjust. It is an uncomplicated pick for bedrooms and spare rooms that need reliable venting and quick cleaning.
Entry-resistant cam lock
One turn of the cam lock, built to resist forced entry, secures the lower sash in place.
Tilt-in lower sash
Tip the lower sash inward and you can wash its outside glass without stepping outdoors.
Extrusions and laminates
Choose White, Almond or Clay inside and out, or pick a Black or Bronze laminate for the exterior.
Opening control for kids
An optional WOCD (Window Operating Control Device) restricts the opening width, a helpful safeguard in a child's room.
