What type of windows can be opened up or down?

  1. Sliding windows

  2. Casement windows

  3. Double-hung windows

  4. Awning windows

The correct answer is: Double-hung windows

Double-hung windows are designed with two vertical sashes that slide up and down within the frame. This design allows for ventilation from either the bottom or the top sash, enabling users to open the window in different configurations based on preference or need. The ability to open both the top and bottom parts makes double-hung windows a versatile choice for airflow and safety. In contrast, sliding windows operate on a horizontal track, casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, and awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward, which does not allow them to be opened up or down in the same manner as double-hung windows.
