Gliding Window

E-Series gliding windows have a single sash that glides horizontally to allow for full top to bottom ventilation. Because the sash do not open outward they are an excellent choice for rooms that face walkways, porches or decks. Made of wood protected by an aluminum exterior, it's our fully customizable gliding window.

One sash glides horizontally for maximum ventilation
Wood protected by aluminum exterior
Custom colors, interior woods and stains
Available in 2- or 3- sash configurations, with standard sizes up to 8' wide and 5' tall. Custom sizes available.
