Double-Hung Windows in Canmore

Classic vertical-sash windows installed across Canmore and heritage Banff. Modern manufacturing means traditional proportions without giving up Energy Star performance.

Double-Hung Window Quote

If you need double-hung windows in Canmore, you are usually looking for two things at once: a traditional sash aesthetic that fits heritage homes in central Banff or the older Canmore townsite, and modern thermal performance to handle minus 25 degree winters. Modern Canadian-made double-hung windows deliver both. Triple-pane low-E glazing, dual weatherstripping at the meeting rail, and tilt-in sashes for cleaning have transformed this old-school style into a serious performer.

Modern double-hung features

Constant-force balance springs

Sashes stay where you put them without slamming. 20+ year lifespan, replaceable in 30 minutes if needed.

Tilt-in sashes

Both sashes pivot inward for cleaning from inside the home. Essential for 2nd-storey Canmore homes.

Dual meeting rail seal

Double weatherstripping where the sashes meet eliminates the draft path common in older double-hungs.

Grilles between glass

For authentic divided-light heritage looks, GBG mullions sit between the panes. Easy to clean, no maintenance.

Double-Hung Window FAQs

Are double-hung windows good for Canmore winters?add
Modern double-hung windows with triple-pane glazing and dual weatherstripping at the meeting rail perform well in our climate. Older single-pane double-hungs from before 2000 do not. Modern manufacturing has closed most of the seal-performance gap with casements.
Can the sashes tilt for cleaning?add
Yes. Most modern double-hung windows have tilt-in sashes for cleaning the exterior from inside. Very useful on second-storey installations in Canmore where exterior access requires scaffolding.
Where are double-hung windows allowed in Banff?add
Banff design guidelines reference traditional sash window proportions for buildings in the heritage district. Double-hung windows with proper sightlines are commonly approved for renovations in the central Banff residential zone.
