Slider Windows
A sliding window (also called a ‘slider’) has two or more glass panels that can slide as one. Single sliders have one fixed sash and one moveable sash; double sliders have sashes that both slide separately. A double slider has a couple of advantages: first, the window can be opened at either end; second, especially for larger windows, two sliding panels improve ventilation.Since a sliding window is installed horizontally, a home may require civil modification to accept a frame that is wider than it is tall. Horizontal sliders are also good for hard-to-reach spots, for compact spaces, and if you want to maximize the view outside.
