Gliding & Sliding Windows

Sliding windows, commonly called gliding windows, have top-to-bottom ventilation, large glass area and space saving horizontally gliding sashes. They can open either to the left or to the right. Additionally, both sashes can glide or you can choose for only one to glide. Furthermore, Renewal by Andersen sliding windows glide smoothly on easy-to-maintain tracks and can be lifted out for easy cleaning from inside the home.

Elegance
With Renewal by Andersen sliding windows, you get an ultra-strong package of elegance and a traditional, hand-crafted look due to the mortise-and-tenon construction combined with Fibrex composite framing material.
Versatility
Gliders are perfect for maximizing view and ventilation and can be made small to large. They are an excellent choice for rooms facing walkways, porches, decks, patios, or landscaping, and are also well-suited for egress windows.

One thing to note is that typically sliding windows can be a pain to maintenance because they aren’t usually removable and the track can become quite dirty over time causing the window to stick.
