Window styles

# Sliding windows

A sliding window opens side to side along a track, with nothing to crank and nothing to prop. It is a simple, durable style that fits wide openings well and is easy for anyone to operate.

What it is

## Wide, simple, easy to use.

Sliders move horizontally on a track, so they are a natural fit for openings that are wider than they are tall. There is no crank and no sash to lift, which makes them easy for anyone to open. We set them so they glide smooth and seal at the meeting rail.

Best for: Wide openings, bedrooms, and anywhere easy operation is the priority.

How we do it

## The details that decide the difference.

01

### Made for wide openings

When the opening is wider than it is tall, a slider fits the proportion better than a stacked double-hung.

02

### Effortless to operate

Slide it open with one hand. No crank, no lifting, easy for kids and older hands alike.

03

### Few moving parts

A simple, durable design means less to wear out and a smooth glide for years.
