What are sliding windows?
Windows are designed to slide horizontally on a track. This makes them a space-saving alternative to those traditional windows that open out or in. The windows usually have two panels; one or both panels can slide easily to allow for opening or closing the window. Ample glass areas characterize sliding windows to maximise natural light and provide a panoramic view of the outside.
Advantages of Sliding Windows
There are plenty of advantages why sliding windows are preferred for any residential and commercial space:
1. Space Efficiency
As sliding windows open within the frame, there is no need for extra space to open them. That is why they are highly suitable for zones with less area, such as rooms adjacent to a walkway, patio, or furniture. The compact design will help you maximise floor space.
2. Easy Operation
The sliding windows are very easy to open. It is just with a gentle push, so the panel glides very smoothly down along the track. This feature is very helpful for those who cannot open the conventional windows or to rooms that need frequent opening up for fresh air and illumination.
3. Unobstructed Views and Natural Light
One of the amazing features of sliding windows is the big pane of unobstructed glass. Sliding windows let the outdoors in by opening your rooms to beautiful views and immense natural light, thus giving you a sense of openness to the outside world. Be it looking out into a beautiful landscape or an urban landscape, sliding windows can wonderfully frame the view.
4. Higher Ventilation
Sliding windows are perfect to enhance fresh air supply and ventilation. You can simply push in the air with an open panel or both, thus making the inside more liveable. Therefore, it is the best for use in kitchens, bathrooms, or any room where one needs to let in fresh air.
5. Low Maintenance
Because sliding windows have simple designs, they have fewer components with which to deal, so they tend to be low maintenance compared to other window types. They normally only require cleaning periodically of the glass, along with some lubrication of the track, for years of smooth operation.
6. Durability and Strength
Sliding windows at ACT Windows & Doors are designed using long-lasting materials such as vinyl, aluminium, and composite frames. This resilience to weather conditions reduces the probability of mechanical failure, making it a long-term investment.
