In general, double-hung windows are more expensive than single-hung windows. (Single-hung windows typically cost 10%-25% less). Aluminum single-hung sash windows are usually the most economical (approximately $310 per unit). Vinyl single-hung sash windows are usually more expensive than their aluminum counterparts ($830), and wood tends to be the priciest option ($1240).
