The Advantages of Sliding Windows

For your window replacement project, consider sliding windows. They are known for their convenience and advantages. Installing sliding windows might be the home improvement project you’re looking for. In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Portland shares the advantages of installing them in your home.  

They Are Energy-Efficient

Sliding windows are good insulators, as they close tightly and firmly. They are effective in keeping conditioned air and temperature inside your home. This helps your HVAC from overworking itself and generating more energy. Sliding windows save your home from expensive energy bills. 

The science behind this is that most sliding windows have glass panes that are normally protected by the Low-E coating. This special coating blocks most of the sun’s UV rays. Keeping your home insulated and cool without sacrificing natural light. This also prevents your furniture and flooring from fading.

They Offer a Better View

Compared to other traditional replacement windows, sliding windows guarantee a better view. They open horizontally instead of vertically, so there’s no window frame blocking the scenery. Sliding windows are also great for ventilation, as they improve the air circulation with their wide opening. They also let in more natural light.  

They Are Low Maintenance

Sliding windows are simple and do not have many parts for you to maintain. They require minimal cleaning and maintenance. Sliding windows can also last you a long time compared to other traditional windows. In addition, sliding windows are easy to install.

It’s Easy to Operate

Sliding windows are not made to be complicated to operate. This made it popular to use in aging-in-place designed homes. It’s easy to open and close, making it an ideal window in high-to-reach areas.
