Sliding Windows

Sliding windows — also called sliders or gliding windows — feature one or more sashes that glide horizontally along a track. They’re an excellent choice for wide openings where a vertically-operating window would be impractical, and they work especially well in contemporary home designs. Since there are no pulleys, springs, or cranks, sliding windows are among the simplest to operate and maintain. End vent sliders, which have a fixed center pane flanked by two operable sashes, are available for extra-wide openings and provide balanced, symmetrical ventilation.
