Frequently Asked Questions
What is a horizontal slider / sliding window?
A horizontal slider window, also known as a sliding window or gliding window, is a type of window where the sashes (panels) move horizontally within the frame to open and close. This window style is popular for its simplicity, ease of operation, and contemporary appearance. Horizontal slider windows are often used in modern homes and buildings, providing practical benefits such as ventilation control and unobstructed views.
What are the key features / benefits of horizontal sliding windows?
Horizontal Movement:
Horizontal slider windows have sashes that slide horizontally along tracks within the window frame. One or both sashes can typically be moved, depending on the window design.
Versatile Ventilation:
The sliding operation of horizontal slider windows allows for flexible ventilation control. Homeowners can open one side or both sides of the window to adjust airflow according to their preference.
Space-Saving Design:
Unlike windows that open outward or inward, horizontal slider windows do not require additional space for operation. This makes them ideal for areas where space is limited, such as decks, patios, or walkways.
Contemporary Appearance:
Horizontal slider windows have a sleek and modern appearance that complements contemporary architectural styles. They are available in various sizes and configurations to suit different design preferences.
How much do horizontal sliding windows cost?
The cost of horizontal slider windows can vary depending on a few key factors, such as:
- Size: Larger or custom-sized windows typically cost more than standard sizes.
Â
- Frame Material: Vinyl is often the most budget-friendly option, while aluminum, fiberglass, and wood frames are more premium choices.
Â
- Glass Options: Standard double-pane glass is affordable, but energy-efficient or specialty glass, like low-E or triple-pane, can add to the cost.
Â
- Customization: Features such as decorative grilles, custom colours, or special hardware will affect the price.
Â
- Installation: Costs depend on whether it’s a replacement or part of a new build, as well as the complexity of the installation.
Â
On average:
- Standard horizontal slider windows range from $250 to $750 per window, including basic installation.
Â
- For premium materials, larger sizes, or added features, prices can range from $800 to $1,200 or more per window.
