Single Hung Windows
Looking for windows that blend Southern charm with year-round performance? Single-hung windows are a stylish choice for Charleston homes, offering affordability, airflow, and durability.

Our single-hung window designs are handcrafted with the Lowcountry in mind. They offer everything from classic wood-framed styles to sleek vinyl and steel options—perfect for any window in Charleston, SC.
Why Consider Single-Hung Windows
Single- and double-hung windows are vertically-sliding windows that don’t swing in or out. When fully opened, they offer the same ventilation as traditional swing-out windows, saving space and being easier to manipulate.
The difference between single- and double-hung windows is how the top and bottom sashes open. Single-hung windows only open from the bottom, leaving a fixed top sash. They are simpler and have fewer moving parts, making them more affordable and easier to clean.
Because the top sash cannot be opened, single-hung windows can be more energy-efficient than their double-hung counterparts. They can also be paired with various glass options to protect your home from South Carolina weather, such as impact glass for hurricane protection or energy-efficient glass to keep the sun’s heat out of your interior.
Complete Selection of Window Frame Materials
If you’ve decided single-hung windows are the right fit for your home, Icon Window & Door will help you match them to your home’s style. Whether you own a modern home or a historic Charleston property, choose the perfect frames for your single-hung windows, including:
Viny
Prefer low-maintenance durability? Vinyl is a top choice for Charleston weather. Made from PVC, these frames are affordable, energy-efficient, and naturally resistant to rot, rust, and insect damage.
Wood
Looking to complement your home’s historic style? Our wood frames offer timeless charm with rich materials like fir, pine, mahogany, and cedar. Paint or stain them any color to create a warm, classic aesthetic that suits traditional Lowcountry homes.
Clad
Want the warmth of wood with extra weather protection? Clad single-hung windows give you classic wood interiors and tough vinyl or aluminum exteriors. This combo boosts energy efficiency while enduring Charleston’s humidity, storms, and salt air.
Steel
Going for a sleek, modern look? Steel single-hung windows deliver clean lines and strength. Ideal for contemporary homes or maximizing window area, these frames offer durability without bulk, and can be customized in any color you like.
