SLIDER WINDOWS

March 17th, 2008

Slider windows are windows in which the sash opens horizontally, rather than vertically like common double hung windows. Slider windows come in several configurations such as two-lite or three-lite. Replacement sliders can replace fixed picture windows and add ventilation to your home while maintaining its current look.

Two or three-lite sliding windows can evoke a sleek contemporary feel and can be fashioned in many different size and style configurations. Vinyl sliding windows are easy to operate and provide a wide-open expansive view with no horizontal obstructions. Integral handles make sliding a breeze, and sashes slide effortlessly on a deluxe brass roller system.All slider replacement windows are made from uPVC or virgin vinyl to assure the highest quality.

Slider windows are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials. They are available in single, double, or triple-hung styles and offer a variety of grille options to give them a range of modern or traditional looks to match the style of any home. When deciding which windows to purchase, one important factor is the material used to make the frame.

Options include wood, vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, and clad-wood. Each offers its own advantages and disadvantages to be taken into consideration.
