Gliding Windows

How To Recognize Them

Andersen® gliding windows open by sliding one sash horizontally past another.

Why To Choose Them

Some people find gliding windows easier to open than "crank-outs" such as casements and awnings. Try the operation and see for yourself.

Where To Place Them

Gliding windows are ideal for spaces that are next to walkways and other traffic areas, since they do not project outward. Generally, placement higher on walls is the preferred, especially in homes with children.

What To Look For

Slide the window open.

Gliding windows should feel like they’re floating, not sliding.

Compare NFRC ratings.

When it comes to U-Factor, the lower the better - and the less you’ll spend heating and cooling. It’s an easy, accurate way to compare the energy efficiency of windows and patio doors.

Owner-2-Owner Transferable Limited Warranty.

Andersen Window & Door products feature a 20-year limited warranty on glass and a 10-year limited warranty on non-glass parts. The limited warranty never loses value over its lifetime because it is non-prorated. Being fully transferable, it can also add real value should you decide to sell your home.
