All about Sliding Replacement Windows

If you’re considering sliding replacement windows in San Jose, CA, you will find that these windows are a great addition to your home, because they have so many benefits.

Sliding replacement windows open and close easily, give your home more energy efficiency, and allow the maximum amount of air to flow through your home when you have the windows open. Sliding replacement windows also add curb appeal to your home with their clean and classy look.

Sliding replacement windows (also known as gliding windows) open differently from other types of windows, making them extremely easy to use. Sliding replacement windows have sashes that move horizontally within a single window frame. Sliding replacement windows can be used just about everywhere in your home.

The typical sliding replacement window has two sashes that are independent, so that you can slide both sashes horizontally. This feature allows you to open both sashes at the same time to get maximum ventilation into your home on days when the weather is perfect to turn off the air conditioning or the heat and get some fresh air into the house.

Sliding replacement windows with three sashes are perfect for picture windows, which are typical stationary windows with no option for opening and closing them. The left and right sashes of this type of sliding replacement window open and close just like those in a sliding replacement window with two sashes. The center sash, however, does not move. This is a value-added upgrade to picture windows because this configuration allows you to really bring the outside, not just in the gorgeous view, but in the light, breezy air, in your home.

If you have rooms where you need a lot of ventilation or you have unobstructed views of the beautiful scenery outside of your home, sliding window replacements are an excellent choice. Because sliding replacement windows easily open and close, many people use them in places where windows would be hard to open and close vertically, such as windows at kitchen sinks or behind furniture.

Sliding window replacements are easy to clean because they tilt, which means you can clean the inside and the outside of the window from inside your home. Sliding window replacements also offer high energy efficient, because the windows are snuggly fit into the window frames and they create an insulating seal when they are closed.

Sliding window replacements also made your home safer because they have a secure locking system that cannot be tampered with to gain entry into the house. That provides an extra measure of comfort for you and your family because you know your home has adequate security to protect all of you.

Sliding window replacements are wider than they are long, so they work well in large window frames or in areas where the window width is more than the window length. Sliding replacement windows are also a good choice for basement windows, because they create a low profile, don’t obstruct outside walking paths, and add security to prevent access to your home through the basement when they are closed and locked.

Look around your home for opportunities to use sliding replacement windows for more energy efficiency, ease of use, ventilation, and security. This is an excellent way to upgrade your present windows and bring a lot of extra value to your home.
