double-hung
Vertically sliding panes
Double-hung describes a window with two sashes that slide vertically past each other, allowing either the top or bottom to open: The old house had double-hung windows throughout.
This design permits ventilation from above or below and makes cleaning easier since both sashes can tilt inward.
