Single Hung Window Repair and Replacement in Toronto
At Etobicoke Glass – Window & Door Services, we offer expert single hung window repair and replacement services for homeowners in Toronto and surrounding areas. Single hung windows remain one of the most popular choices for their classic appearance, smooth functionality, and strong energy efficiency — all while being cost-effective and reliable.
Single hung windows include two vertical sashes, but only the bottom sash is operable. It lifts upward to allow fresh air into your home, while the upper sash stays fixed for added insulation. Their clean, timeless design pairs perfectly with traditional, modern, and transitional home styles.
What Are Single Hung Windows?
A single hung window is designed with a stationary top sash and a movable bottom sash. The lower sash slides upward to provide ventilation while maintaining great insulation and easy everyday operation. Thanks to their simple profile and dependable design, single hung windows are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and nearly any room in the home.

Single Hung vs. Double Hung Windows
The difference comes down to sash movement:
Single Hung Windows: Only the bottom sash moves; the top sash is fixed.
Double Hung Windows: Both sashes slide and tilt for increased airflow and easier cleaning.
Single hung windows are typically more affordable, more energy-efficient, and offer excellent performance for homeowners seeking value without sacrificing style or durability.
What Are Single Hung Tilt Windows?
Single hung tilt windows provide the same classic look but include a bottom sash that tilts inward for simple, convenient cleaning. They are ideal for homeowners who want low-maintenance windows that still offer great airflow, natural light, and traditional charm.
Installation Options for Single Hung Windows
Full-Frame Replacement
This method removes the entire existing window — frame included. It allows our installers to inspect the opening for rot, moisture damage, or structural issues before installing the new unit. Full-frame installation ensures maximum durability, performance, and longevity.
Retrofit Installation
Retrofit installation keeps the existing window frame and replaces only the sash and glass. This option is more cost-efficient but works best when the current frame is still in excellent condition.
