A Horizontal Sliding window is a type of window that has two or three sashes that slide open horizontally. These windows can be configured in three ways: a two-lite style with both sashes operable, a two-lite slider with one fixed and one operable lite, and a three-lite slider with the end vents sliding towards the middle and the center lite fixed. This last configuration is sometimes referred to as a “Slide-Picture-Slide” design.
Impact Horizontal Sliding windows are becoming increasingly popular for their sleek design and functionality. They can be a great option for large, wide openings as they offer a larger viewing area. These windows come in different configurations, with a two-lite style with both sashes operable, a two-lite slider with one fixed and one operable lite, and a three-lite slider with the end vents sliding towards the middle and the center lite fixed. Screens for these windows are usually half-screen for a window with one fixed sash, and full screens are available for a window with both operable sashes, and three-lite sliders would have a small screen at each end to guard the two sashes that open. All screens need to cover the portion of the window that opens. Screens are on the outside of the window. It’s highly recommended to schedule a free in-home consultation to review the sizes and configurations of your home, compare that with the recommended applications of the various windows and guide you through selecting the best window for your home.

These windows are designed and tested to meet high-wind and impact resistance requirements for areas prone to hurricanes. They are a great option for homeowners seeking protection and peace of mind.
