Reasons to Consider Sliding Windows
Replacing windows in your home can be a challenging decision. With numerous styles available, how do you know which replacement windows to choose? New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., has provided North Jersey homeowners with quality and affordable windows for over 25 years. Here, our experts discuss the benefits of upgrading your home with stylish sliding windows.
Benefits of Investing in Sliding Window Replacements
At New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., our selection of replacement windows includes versatile options suitable for any home. Sliding windows feature two sashes that open by sliding along a track to the left or right. Sometimes, they have a third sash—a stationary picture window—surrounded by two moving sashes. These types of sliding windows are common on the front of homes and in areas where you want an expansive view.
Sliding windows are clean, contemporary, and simple, but you can also customize them to fit your home’s aesthetic. As one of the many types of windows we offer, it’s important for you to consider all their advantages before committing to your project.
These windows have a simple horizontal or vertical operation, making them well-suited for various locations in your home. No matter where you place them, they deliver numerous benefits.
Unobstructed Views
Sliding windows are made of large glass panels, are usually wider than they are tall, and have minimal framing. Their unique construction lets in more natural light and provides expansive views of your backyard or natural scenery. By allowing more sunlight to flood your home, you can spend less on indoor lighting during the day, which can help save money on your utility bill. Additionally, you can add a picture window to your sliding window, creating an unobstructed view and a smooth flow from your home to the outdoors.
Customizable Versatility
Sliding windows are larger than most traditional double-hung windows. You can combine them with several other types of windows to create a unique and customizable configuration to fit your needs and personal style. They are adjustable to fit large or small spaces and don’t extrude thanks to their sliding mechanisms, making them a great solution for patios, decks, walkways, and basements.
Low Maintenance and Easy Use
Compared to other styles of windows, sliding windows require less maintenance and are often more user-friendly. Many sliding windows can be opened and closed with just one finger, making them well-suited for hard-to-reach places. This design also means they’re ideal for those with disabilities or aging adults.
Sliding windows have a simple construction, without pulleys and springs that wear down over time. Because they don’t have a lot of moving parts, they offer long-term durability without expensive upkeep and maintenance.
Cooling Ventilation
If your sliding windows have dual-open sashes, they can be opened on both ends at the same time. This allows you to maximize ventilation in each room with a sliding window. You may also develop a cross-breeze across the openings, helping rooms stay cool and fresh and removing stale air. They are popular options for low-ventilation areas, such as basements, attics, and rooms with a single window.
Cost-Effective and Energy Efficient
Replacing all the windows in your home can be a costly project. However, sliding windows are a cost-effective alternative compared to other varieties. For example, double-hung windows use a complex pulley system, which adds to their cost, although many homeowners find them beneficial. Conversely, slider windows glide along a track, often reducing the overall price of construction and installation.
Likewise, modern slider windows have high-quality window glazing and insulation for increased energy efficiency. Well-built slider windows allow cool air to circulate in the summer and keep warm air inside during the winter, saving you money on energy bills.
