ABOUT SLIDING WINDOW FAQ
A sliding window can be called a “gliding window” or a “sliding window.” They are the same thing.
Sliding window sizes will vary depending on the design and series you choose. Our largest sliding window is 12-feet wide and 6-feet high (100 Series), and custom sizing is also available. If you are looking for a huge sliding window, We can customize according to our needs
Sliding (Gliding) window hardware can be either traditional or contemporary.
Sliding windows (Gliding windows) come in several different styles. On some sliding windows, only a single side moves, while the other side stays fixed. Others can be configured so both sides move independently, allowing you to create airflow on both sides simultaneously. And you can even get sliding windows with three-sash configurations.
Not necessarily. Our sliding windows are similar in efficiency to our double-hung windows, but less efficient than our casement windows. However, like most windows, their energy efficiency can vary depending on the design and type of glass you choose.
You should consider sliding windows for patios, porches, walkways, or decks because they stay flush against the wall and do not open inward or outward. You might also consider them in indoor/outdoor spaces to pass food and drinks through.
Sliding windows are some of the best windows for patios, porches, walkways, or decks because they stay flush against the wall and do not open inward or outward. Since they have a horizontal orientation, they are also a perfect fit in single-story homes with lower ceilings, or any spaces with a wider orientation.
Sliding windows can be made of several different materials, each with their own benefits. Nearly all of our sliding windows have a wood core for improved durability and insulation that is covered (clad) in another material for protection against the elements. Aluminum gliding windows are extremely durable, virtually maintenance-free, and can have nearly limitless customizations. Vinyl sliding windows are low-maintenance and generally cost less.
You can put insect screens on gliding windows. We can provide high-quality mosquito nets according to demand
Sliding windows can be very safe if proper safety measures are taken. Since they stay flush against a wall, they do not carry the same clipping risks as windows that open inward or outward. You can also use gliding window opening control device kits which are designed to prevent accidental falls by children aged five (5) years and younger while also allowing the full opening of a window as needed for escape, rescue, or ventilation. With proper location and installation, window opening control devices allow for a less than 4″ (inch) opening.
If you are looking for a window that glides vertically, look for a single-hung or double-hung window.
