BENEFITS OF HORIZONTAL SLIDING WINDOWS
Horizontal slider windows are easy to use. They glide open from the left side or the right on a horizontal track.
They work well in a variety of architectural styles and are also popular for satisfying bedroom egress requirements in both new construction and as replacement sliding windows.
Horizontal sliding windows work well in rooms facing tight spaces, like walkways or patios, because they don’t swing outward when open.

Horizontal Sliding Windows FAQ
What is a horizontal sliding window?
A horizontal slider is a window whose operable panel moves side to side as opposed to up and down; the panels are separated by a vertical meeting rail. There are single-slider and double-slider windows.
What’s the advantage of a horizontal sliding window?
Horizontal sliders are ideal for areas in which spacing is tight, like decks, mud rooms, courtyards, etc. The sliders don’t open out, making them easy to operate even when situated in these tight spaces.
Will I still have good views to the outside with a sliding window?
Many homeowners actually prefer the view through a slider. Because the meeting rail is vertical, the vista through a slider’s sash is largely unobstructed.
What’s the difference between a single-slider and a double-slider?
The number of movable sashes. A single slider has one operable sash while a double-slider has two. The advantage of a double-slider is that you can open either sash to maximize your ventilation area.
Are sliding windows used in living rooms and bedrooms?
Yes, sliders have become increasingly popular in all rooms of the house. They’re durable, safe, energy-efficient, and compatible with all architectural styles. Moreover, they’re available with numerous aesthetic attributes.
