Graham Architectural Products Homeowner’s Manual Acoustical Aluminum Windows Vent and Sash Operation General The windows which have been installed into your home are referred to as “dual windows.” This means that there are two sets of sash or vents (interior and exterior) separated by a wide air space. This wide air space between the panes of glass results in better noise reduction.
