If you’ve been shopping for replacement windows for your home, you’ve probably seen sliding windows. They’re called sliders because they slide open to one side or another, similar to your sliding glass door. But what you may not know is that sliding windows are the most energy-efficient windows you can buy.
Fewer Moving Parts
Sliding windows have fewer moving parts than double-hung or casement windows. Because they have fewer moving parts, there are fewer things that can go wrong. In addition, because the mechanism of a sliding window is simpler than other styles, they’re more affordable.
Better Seal
When compared to double-hung windows, a sliding window has a tighter and more secure seal. This increases energy efficiency by preventing air leaks in or out of the house.
Easy to Clean
Most sliding windows feature panels that lift out completely, making them easy to clean.
Better Views
One of the nicest things about sliding windows is that they can come in just about any size you’d like, so you get more natural light and much better views than you would with casement or double-hung windows. Because they typically slide on rollers, even the largest sliding windows are easy to open and close.
Ventilation
Bringing in more natural light will help to warm your house in the winter. In addition, the bigger the window, the more air you can bring in during those lovely days of spring and early fall when the temperatures are just right outside!
When to Choose Sliding Windows
If you have a small home, sliding windows can make it seem more spacious by creating an unobstructed view of the outdoors.
Because sliding windows are often lower and wider than other designs, they’re ideal for rooms with low ceilings.
If you have a large space, you can install a sliding window with three or more panels that can create a wide design that brings balance and elegance to the room.
Whatever type of window you choose will depend on the style of your home and your personal preferences and replacing your windows will reduce your energy bills and improve the look of your home.
