Sliding windows offer simplicity and a sleek look

There is a single panel for the sliding windows that slides open horizontally. Although also having an operable sash, they have a wide area of glass, allowing an essential amount of natural light and fresh air to reach the home.

Sliding windows function similarly to a single-hung window where a single sash glides over a fixed sash, however sliding windows open horizontally rather than vertically. They are a classic choice and, through their flexibility, durability and scalability, have remained popular in Washington DC and surrounding areas.

This type of window is a great replacement option in areas to where your reach is limited. It typically works best for broad openings that are wider than they are tall.
