Double Pane Single Hung Window Features
Mannlee’s double pane single hung windows combine energy efficiency with emergency-ready functionality, designed for basement egress and cost-conscious safety compliance. Featuring 0.5″ laminated glass panes (6mm outer + 4mm inner) and argon-filled cavities, these units deliver:
Emergency compliance – 20″×24″ clear opening exceeds IRC 2023 egress requirements
Thermal superiority – U-factor 0.28 outperforms single-pane windows by 58%
Security reinforcement – 2.5mm tempered glass withstands 200 PSF impacts (ASTM E1886 certified)
Technical innovations include:
Triple weatherstripping – Silicone/EPDM hybrid seals achieve <0.08 CFM air leakage
Tilt-out cleaning – Bottom sash tilts 45° for interior glass maintenance
UV-resistant frames – 50-year vinyl warranties against warping/fading
