Slider Windows - Installation, Replacement & Repair

A slider window is the window version of a sliding glass door. A slider window can open from one side or another, or from both. The window tracks are mounted on the bottom and top sills of the window opening to guide the two or more window panes when sliding back and forth.  A slider window may maintain its air-tightness for a longer period of time, and will also be far less likely to lose its ability to stay open than traditional vertical opening windows.  Slider window can also be installed as a single pane of glass, or multiple panes. 

There are many effects that the installation of a slider window can create.  When used in a sunroom or solarium, a single pane slider window gives an unobstructed view of outdoors, and the feeling of extreme openness.  However, when used in a cozier space, such as a library or kitchen, a multiple paned slider window gives a cozy feel.  A great result of installing Slider window is that when opened, the air circulates fully around the room and the house, rather than the fresh air clinging to the floor, as when a horizontal window is opened.

Slider window may seem to be easily installed, but when you consider the skills need to lay the tracks and ensure air tightness, this project is one best left to professional installation. Replacement of Slider window can also be more complicated than it seems at first glance.
