Safety Features of Our Double Hung Windows

In addition, double hung windows have ventilation latches. These ventilation latches are staggered and located on inside of the window. Ventilation latches will limit the degree to which you’re able to raise or lower the top or bottom sash.

Improve Air Circulation in Your Home

Our ventilation latches will also help to increased airflow. The latches don’t allow the window to open up more than a couple inches. This provides you with fresh air while maintaining the safety you’re looking for.
