Premium Single Hung Windows for Canadian Homes
Single hung windows are one of the most popular and trusted window styles in residential homes across Nobleton. Known for their simple operation and classic appearance, single hung windows feature a fixed upper sash and a vertically sliding lower sash that opens smoothly for ventilation. This traditional design makes them a reliable choice for homeowners seeking functionality without unnecessary complexity.
Because only the bottom sash moves, single-hung windows are easy to operate, energy-efficient, and highly durable. They work especially well in bedrooms, living rooms, basements, and any area where you want consistent airflow while maintaining a clean, timeless look. Many homeowners also choose these vertical sliding windows as a cost-effective solution for window replacement projects. At Nobleton Glass Specialists, we install single hung windows that combine modern performance with the charm of traditional windows—perfect for both new builds and older homes.
Key Features of Single Hung Windows
Single hung windows continue to be a homeowner favorite because they balance efficiency, affordability, and classic design. Below are some of the key features that make them a smart investment.
Energy Efficiency You Can Feel
Single hung windows reduce air leakage thanks to fewer moving parts. When professionally installed, they help maintain indoor temperatures and lower energy bills. Many homeowners choose them as energy efficient windows for year-round comfort.
Draftiness and Air Leaks
Drafts around casement windows usually result from worn weatherstripping, damaged seals, or improper closure. This can lead to heat loss, higher energy bills, and reduced indoor comfort.
We replace seals and weatherstripping with high-quality materials designed for Canadian climates. Proper adjustments ensure a tight seal, improving insulation and overall energy efficiency.
Controlled Ventilation
With a lower sash that opens vertically, you can control airflow without compromising security. This makes single-hung windows ideal for ground-floor rooms or spaces facing walkways.
Easy Maintenance & Cleaning
The simple structure of single hung windows means fewer components to maintain. Modern materials like vinyl and aluminum resist moisture, warping, and corrosion, making cleaning quick and hassle-free.
Built-In Security Features
Because the top sash is fixed, single-hung windows naturally offer added security. Multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames further enhance home safety.
Classic Design Options
Available in various frame colors, finishes, and grid patterns, traditional windows can be customized to match both modern and heritage-style homes. They pair beautifully with other styles like double hung windows for a cohesive look.
Long-Lasting Durability
High-quality materials and professional installation ensure your windows perform reliably for decades. This durability makes them a strong option for long-term window replacement projects.

Installation Options
Proper installation plays a major role in how well your windows perform over time. Nobleton Glass Specialists ensures every window installation is precise, secure, and built to last.
New Construction Installation
Ideal for newly built homes or additions, this option allows windows to be installed directly into the framing. It offers maximum customization and typically aligns with construction timelines.
Replacement Window Installation
If your existing windows are outdated or inefficient, replacement installation is the most common choice. The old unit is removed, and the new single hung windows are installed using the existing opening, usually completed within one day.
Retrofit Installation
Retrofit installations work when window frames are still in good condition. This method minimizes disruption, reduces costs, and is a popular option for quick window replacement upgrades.
Custom Sizing & Specialty Fits
Older homes often require non-standard sizes. Nobleton Glass Specialists provides custom-measured single hung windows to ensure a perfect fit and optimal energy performance.
All installations are backed by our workmanship guarantee and manufacturer warranties for peace of mind.
