Sashes glide side to side

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows have one or more sashes that glide horizontally along a track. They are easy to open, a good fit for wide openings, and a very common style in ranch and mid-century homes.

About sliding windows

A great fit for

  • Wide, short openings
  • Ranch-style and mid-century homes

Things to consider

  • Only part of the window opens at once.
  • Tracks benefit from occasional cleaning.
