What are sliding windows, why do homeowners choose to install them, and how can you get started on a sliding window installation project?
Sliding windows (also called “gliders”) open by gliding horizontally along a track. That simple mechanism makes them space-saving, easy to operate, and great for wide exterior views with a clean, modern look. Quality sliding units also form a tight, energy-efficient seal to help keep conditioned air inside.
What Makes Sliding Windows Special
Space saver: Sashes slide side-to-side instead of swinging out, so they’re ideal near patios, walkways, and tight exterior clearances.
Easy, low-maintenance glide: Fewer moving parts and a smooth track make everyday use simple and upkeep minimal.
Big, unobstructed views + fresh air: The wide, horizontal format maximizes glass area while still delivering ample ventilation.
Energy-smart seal: Properly designed sliders close into a snug seal that helps reduce heating and cooling loss.
Why Homeowners Choose Them
If you want a modern profile, bigger sightlines, and day-to-day convenience without sacrificing efficiency, sliding windows check all the boxes—especially in rooms where a projecting sash would get in the way.
