What is a Sliding Window?
Sliding windows are windows where panels move horizontally along a track, providing a seamless transition and maximizing space efficiency. Ideal for modern living spaces, these windows provide a sleek design without compromising on functionality.
These windows are typically made with aluminium frames. Sliding windows also come with various glass options such as clear, frosted or tinted glass. This allows for different style and privacy preferences to be met.
The Pros and Cons of Sliding Windows
Pros:
- Cost-Effectiveness: Sliding windows are generally more affordable, providing a budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality.
- Space-Saving: Perfect for compact areas such as service yards or common corridors in HDB flats. Unlike casement windows, sliding windows do not require extra space to operate.
- Customization Options: Homeowners can choose from various types of windows such as frosted or tinted glass to enhance privacy. To enhance safety, we can help to install window grilles.
- Improved Ventilation Options: Sliding windows can be designed with top-hung windows to allow for better airflow while maintaining privacy by keeping the bottom window closed.
- Versatility in Design: Available from two to six panels, our windows can be tailored to meet specific ventilation needs and aesthetic preferences.
Cons:
- Limited Full Opening: Unlike other window types, sliding windows cannot be fully opened, potentially limiting maximum ventilation. Consider Swing and Slide Window if you are looking for an unblock panoramic view.
- Maintenance of Tracks: The tracks need regular cleaning to prevent dust and debris, which could hinder smooth operation.
- Initial Cost vs Longevity: Certain windows may have a higher initial cost because of their unique features. These features can include sliding windows with adjustable louvres or top-hung sections. The additional materials and labour required for these features contribute to the higher upfront cost.
