What Are
Single Hung Windows?
Single hung windows feature two sashes, but only the bottom sash is operable—it slides vertically to open, while the top sash remains fixed. This design is ideal for rooms where vertical space is limited or where outward-opening windows are not practical.
Perfect for:
- Bedrooms – Especially where egress compliance is required
- Bathrooms –For privacy and ventilation
- Basements –Where space is tight
- Living rooms – For a clean, classic look
- Multi-story homes – Where easy maintenance is a priority
Features & Benefits of Our Single Hung Windows
Designed for Ventilation. Engineered for Alberta.
At ASAP Windows & Doors, our Single Hung windows are more than just a stylish addition to your home—they’re a smart investment in comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term performance. Manufactured locally in Calgary, our awning windows are built to handle Alberta’s demanding climate while offering homeowners a sleek, functional, and secure solution for everyday living.
Whether you’re upgrading a bathroom, finishing a basement, or designing a new build, our awning windows are tailored to meet your needs with precision and care.
Perfect for Tight Spaces.
Because single hung windows open vertically and don’t project outward, they’re ideal for areas where space is limited—like near walkways, patios, or in compact rooms. Their flush profile also makes them a great choice for multi-unit buildings or homes with narrow exterior clearances.
Timeless Look. Modern Performance.
Single hung windows offer a clean, symmetrical appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary homes. Their simple lines and balanced proportions make them a versatile choice for any room.
Tilt-In Sash for Hassle-Free Maintenance.
The operable bottom sash tilts inward, allowing you to clean both sides of the glass from inside your home—especially useful for upper floors or hard-to-reach areas.
Fresh Air, On Demand.
Open the bottom sash to let in fresh air while keeping the top sash fixed for added security and insulation. This design helps maintain airflow without compromising safety or energy efficiency.
Built-In Peace of Mind.
Our single hung windows feature secure locking mechanisms that engage automatically when the window is closed. Optional vent locks allow for partial opening while maintaining security.
Comfort in Every Season.
With multi-chambered vinyl frames, Low-E glass, and argon gas fills, our single hung windows are built to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer—reducing your energy bills year-round.
Affordable Without Compromise.
Single hung windows are typically more affordable than casement or double-hung styles, making them a smart choice for homeowners looking to balance performance, aesthetics, and budget.
Fixed Upper Sash = Extra Strength.
The non-operable top sash adds rigidity and reduces air infiltration, making single hung windows more resistant to drafts and weather-related wear over time.
Durable Materials. Long-Term Value.
Our uPVC vinyl frames are resistant to warping, cracking, and fading. They never need painting and require only occasional cleaning to look like new.
Our casement windows are:
- ENERGY STAR® Certified
- NAFS-11 Tested
- CSA A440 Compliant
These certifications ensure your windows meet or exceed Canadian standards for air, water, and structural performance—giving you peace of mind and long-term value.
Where to Use Single Hung Windows
Single Hung windows are incredibly versatile and can be installed in nearly any room of the house. Their compact design and weather-resistant functionality make them ideal for:
Bathroom
For privacy, moisture control, and fresh air.
Kitchens
Above countertops or sinks where space is limited.
Basements
As a secure, weather-resistant option for non-egress openings.
Bedrooms
Paired with fixed windows for added ventilation and style.
Living Areas
Combined with picture windows for panoramic views and airflow.
They’re also a great choice for multi-window configurations, such as stacked or side-by-side installations.
Built for Alberta’s Climate
Calgary’s climate is known for its extremes—cold winters, hot summers, and sudden weather shifts. Our awning windows are built to handle it all:
- Airtight Seals – Prevent drafts and moisture infiltration.
- Insulated Frames – Reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
- ENERGY STAR® Certified Glass – Keeps your home comfortable year-round.
- Durable Hardware – Resists corrosion and wear, even in harsh conditions.
Whether you’re facing a snowstorm or a summer thunderstorm, our awning windows are designed to perform.
