Essential Single Hung

Previously known as Integrity All Ultrex Single Hung

The Essential Single Hung window mimics the classic, simple design of the Essential Double Hung, but with a fixed top sash that doesn’t open. Ideal for hard-to-reach areas where the top sash would be difficult to operate, the Essential Single Hung window is finished with strong, durable fiberglass to the exterior and interior, making it virtually maintenance-free. Streamlined options offer just the right level of customization.

Design Options

Exterior Finish

Exterior Finish
A strong alternative to vinyl, our Ultrex^® pultruded fiberglass exterior finish is applied through a patented process to provide a superior, consistent finish. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) awards certifications to materials that pass numerous, rigorous tests. These tests simulate the harsh conditions that a finish will encounter throughout the life of the window or door. Passing these specification tests and achieving AAMA 624 verification gives independent verification that the Ultrex finish is best in class among fiberglass products.

Built for durability and low-maintenance, our Ultrex finish is 3x thicker than competitive finishes, with a smooth consistency and strong finish that resists fading, chalking, peeling and cracking, even in the darkest colors. If a design change calls for a new color down the road, our material can be painted without voiding our warranty. Six colors are available in neutral and dark tones.

Energy Efficiency

We offer variations to help meet climate and code requirements across the country, described in more detail on our glass page.

Divided Lites

The look of multiple, individual panes of glass in a window panel is popular in a wide range of architectural styles. Grilles between the glass, available in a number of different styles, mimic the look of these individual panes of glass without sacrificing energy efficiency.
Grilles-between-the-Glass (GBGs)
Grilles are permanently installed between the glass panes for low-maintenance and easy cleaning. Choose from 6 exterior colors and 3 interior colors.

Patterns
Grilles between the glass are available in a selection of pre-designed patterns for added character.

*These are some of our most frequently-requested divided-lite patterns.
Exterior Trim

Exterior trim is available in colors to match our exterior window finish, and several trim styles. Choose flat-style for a clean, simple look or brick mold-style for a more traditional aesthetic.

Window Opening Control Devices

Window screens are only intended to keep bugs out, not prevent a potential fall, so we offer Window Opening Control Devices that meet standards created to assist in the prevention of window falls in children under five years old. The Marvin Window Opening Control Device limits window opening to 4" or less when the sash is opened. The device may be disengaged, allowing for further operation to full opening for cleaning or egress and automatically re-engages when the sash is fully closed.
