Sliding Window Installation & Replacement

Install sliding windows where traditional windows can’t go

Sometimes, areas of your home are not ideal for installing windows due to construction or furniture placement. If you feel that the area still could benefit from adding ambient light, ventilation, or a view to the outside, there is still hope. A window contractor can help decide if sliding windows are the answer to your problem.

Sliding windows are two panels of glass that slide horizontally over each other. Because of this design, these windows are wider than they are tall. If an exterior wall in your home did not have the height necessary for a window before, a sliding window may be able to fit instead. This opens up numerous opportunities to enjoy all the advantages of having a window.

Why use sliding windows over casement windows?

Besides being able to install sliding windows in places regular windows can’t go, sliding windows offer other benefits as well. Due to being longer rather than taller, sliding windows can actually illuminate a larger area. A sliding window can brighten up a dark space better than your ordinary window. Better yet, a properly placed sliding window facing the sun can brighten up your home even longer.

A second reason to install sliding windows is that they are easier to open. The sideways sliding feature better diffuses the resistance and lowers the amount of force required to open and close them. Many sliding windows can be opened from either the left or the right, making it even easier, depending on personal preference.
