Gliding Window
The Renewal by Andersen gliding window is composed of two independent sashes that slide side to side for ventilation. The gliding window style is offered in other configurations such as a gliding stationary and a gliding picture window. A gliding stationary is composed of one stationary sash and one operable sash with a half screen on the operable portion. A gliding picture window has two operable sashes located on each side of a center picture sash all within one frame. The gliding picture window is available in two different configurations: 1:1:1 ratio where each sash is equal in size or a 1:2:1 ratio where the center picture sash is twice the size of the sliding side sashes. Gliding windows are suitable in areas facing walkways, decks, or other high traffic areas because they do not project outward. Gliding windows are not recommended over counter, cabinets, sinks, or other obstructed areas - sliding operation may be difficult or uncomfortable.
The Renewal by Andersen gliding window style offers many advantages:
- Made with Fibrex material with a virtually maintenance free capstock that gives the appearance of a painted wood window finish but without the hassle of maintaining a wood window.
- Traditional hand-crafted look with the use of the mortise-and-tenon appearance on the interior sash corners.
- Larger viewing area due to less horizontal sight line interruptions.
- Strong patented Fibrex material provides smaller frame and sash profiles allowing for more glass area.
- Smooth radius lines on the frame and sash update this classic window style for a clean crisp look.
- Sashes lift up and outward for easy cleaning from inside the home.
- Customize the look of your home with a decorative grille pattern - we have many options to choose from.
