The Advantages of Slider Windows

Horizontal/Slider Windows vs. Single-Hung and Double-Hung Windows

Similar to single-hung or even double-hung windows, sliding windows (as the name suggests) have an operable sash that slides open. However, unlike the other window types that we mentioned, slider windows open by sliding horizontally (side-to-side) versus vertically (up-and-down). Another key difference between double- & single-hung windows and slider windows lies in the fact that slider windows also tend to be wider than they are taller which allows for greater, unobstructed views.

Slider Windows vs. Casement Windows

Casement windows are another very popular replacement window option. Rather than sliding open, they actually open outwards, either by being pushed open or being cranked open. While there are also several advantages to casement windows, they simply are not an option for some Florida homes. Casement windows require a lot more room to fully open than slider windows, as there needs to be room on the outside of the house for the window panels to swing open. That is where slider windows have the advantage. Since the panels slide over one another, they do not need external space to open.
