Double Hung Tilt Windows

Double Hung Tilt Windows

Double hung tilt windows have two movable sashes on a track, using weatherstripping to stop air leaks, improve energy efficiency, and prevent moisture from entering your home. Removable screens allow for better air circulation than standard window types.

Double hung tilt windows tilt inward without disrupting the space around them. Fusion sealed with architectural moulded contouring and thermally insulated spacers, the sashes tilt inward for easy cleaning from inside your home.

★★★★★ 5/5
We met with Adam to discuss our needs. He was efficient, polite, and fun. Adam was able to provide us with designs that were exactly what we were looking for to solve the window replacement challenges we faced with our old Victorian home. The price seemed reasonable for the quality of the product we were receiving. Installation was done as promised in one day. Communication was above standard throughout the entire process. We were quite satisfied with the installation and minor issues we raised were met with complete receptivity and Adam promised prompt correction. Adam also sweetened the final steps with unexpected kindness and generosity. All in all, we were very satisfied with the entire process, from our initial meeting with Adam, to the final review of the work and the wrap up. Canadian Choice knows how to treat customers well and we appreciated it. Highly recommend!
