   I blew the dust bunnies off the back of my mind and Marvin or Weathershield pops up. Could be wrong, but start there - or with Google

   FWIW.....

   Triple Hung.... Or maybe triple track?

   A Four Season Room would be all year long and where I live heat and A/C would be mandatory, thus IG units in tight frames would be needed!

   I've done several 3-season rooms with triple track storm windows.  I really prefer FS aluminum storms for 3-season porches.  FS = full screen track in the exterior of the frame extrusion and removable double hung sash inside. Tall units average $100-125.

   Never seen a triple hung window....guess I'll take Piffin's suggestion and GOOGLE!

   They're not uncommon in larger homes or university library type settings

   The very top sash is frequently stationary.

   The lower 2 sashes can be raised up so there's access to a porch or other outside area, basically creating a door opening.

   I've seen a few on old houses in my area.

   Triple-hungs are typically custom

   I have only seen these as custom products.

   Marvin Signature product series will offer them as an option, but so custom, you can't find them on their online catalog! Call your local rep for more info.

   I have also seen them in aluminum from Manko windows. These are more commercial grade... used to replace historical applications in libraries and old academic buildings... unless you are installing aluminum windows elsewhere in your home, these will probably not do.

   BTW - since Marvin Signature and custom job pricepoints are up there with some of the top of the line custom manufacturers, I advise you contact a few custom window / door companies for quotes to compare. In the end, Marvin's quality is acceptable, but if you're paying top dollar, just get exactly what you want - down to the sticking profiles, which sashes operate, if you are mulling units - where the counterweights go, the finish of the chains & other hardware... everything!

   In the East Coast I can recommend Artistic, Reilly & Dynamic

   In the West Coast I am only familiar with Window Craft, but I'm sure there must be others.

   Good luck with your project! sounds delectable!
