Frequently Asked Questions About Sliding Windows
What Is a Left vs. Right Venting Sliding Window?
Viewing from outside the home, a right-venting sliding window means the sash will slide open from left to right, and a left-venting sliding window means it will slide open from right to left.
Are Sliding Windows Energy Efficient?
While it depends on a few factors — material of the window frame, the type of glass, and the number of parts— most sliding glass windows are very energy efficient. Available in fiberglass and vinyl, these designs have interlocking systems where the sashes come together to create air-tight seals.
What Are the Advantages of Sliding Windows?
The pros of installing sliding windows are numerous. They’re easy to operate, simple to repair, more cost-effective to cover a large space in windows. They also offer wide, unobstructed views that can fill your room with light.
How Do Sliding Windows Work?
Sliding windows have two sashes, one fixed and one mobile. The mobile sash glides back and forth on a horizontal track. Unlike single or double-hung windows that must fight gravity, sliding glass windows don’t require many parts and are much easier to maintain.
How Secure Are Sliding Windows?
Pella’s sliding windows are secure because they are made with high-quality materials and have strong locking mechanisms. Look for windows with sturdy frames and secure locks that cannot be easily jimmied or forced open. Additionally, adding security bars or screens can provide an extra layer of protection.
