Slider Windows: a Breath of Fresh Air
Slider windows smoothly glide horizontally across a track. As
a result, you can open the window and enjoy fresh air with ease.
This is in contrast to the more common classic double-hung window.
A double-hung window has sashes (glass frames) that move up and
down, as opposed to side-to-side. A double-hung window, to support
its sashes, has a counterweight on a rope in its frame if it's
old, or a set of internal springs if it's new. These extra parts
cost more money and increase the chance of a break down. Since
you're fighting gravity to open the window, it often doesn't work
as easily.
In summary, slider windows can be a simpler and more economical
choice. Fewer parts can mean lower maintenance and higher durability.
And cleaning a slider window, especially if it has lift out sashes,
can be a snap.
 Slider
windows are especially effective to cover long horizontal spaces.
You can have a single slider window (where only one section moves
and one is fixed) or a double slider (where both sections move
side by side). You can also choose a double slider window that
has a fixed pane of glass between two moving portions. This latter
choice will cover an especially wide space.
The simple framing of slider windows can help give your home
a sleek, uncluttered look. Also, you can combine them with double-hung,
picture, awning and casement windows to create an interesting
look and different kinds of ventilation possibilities.
