Horizontal Slider Windows – Do You Like To Slide?

Think of a double hung window turned on its side and you have horizontal slider windows. For openings that are wider than they are high, a horizontal slider is a low cost purchase option.

Unlike most types of window, these horizontal sliding windows can be used virtually anywhere. They can work just as well in combinations too.

Their benefits include larger sizes, which can further cut down initial purchase costs (because single units of other styles may not be large enough - you may need a couple of windows instead of one slider window).

Sliders Can Deal With Most Window Applications

Sliders are also very easy to clean from the inside, and ventilation can be controlled to be anything from the smallest of gaps up to half the window being open. Screens can be put either on the interior or exterior to keep the bugs out; some sliders are known as `gliders’ because opening and closing them is so easy.

Slider windows can be double sliders - where both sashes slide open past one another horizontally, Or they can be single sliders - where either the left or right sash is moveable but the other is fixed in place and non-operable.

Sliders are a low price replacement window option that can come in many sizes. But like double hung windows, their sliding seals are not as resistant to wind and water as hinged windows that have compression seals.
