Horizontal sliding windows for wide openings, easy operation and a clean, modern look.
A sliding window has one or two sashes that glide sideways on a track. They are wide, simple and easy to open, which makes them popular in family rooms, kitchens, basements and garages and on modern homes with a horizontal look. There is no crank and no tilt to learn. Homeowners in Nashville choose sliders when they want a broad view and straightforward ventilation.
We help you choose between two sashes that both move and one that is fixed, and we pick glass and frames that suit the room. We measure the opening, check the sill for slope and water, and install the window with flashing and sealant. We explain how to keep tracks clean, how to lock and how to remove the sash for cleaning. For larger openings we may suggest a slider next to a fixed picture window. If your slider is old and hard to move, the cause is often worn rollers or a dirty track rather than the whole window. We can tell you honestly whether a roller replacement will bring it back to life or whether a new window is the better choice for the room.
Sashes glide sideways with a light touch, and there is nothing to crank or tilt.
Sliders suit ranch and contemporary homes with long, low lines.
Dirt and debris in the track make a slider stiff, so a quick brushing now and then keeps it smooth.
A slider next to a fixed window gives a large view with ventilation at one side.

A well-built, well-installed slider does not. The sill must slope outward and the weep holes must stay clear.
Brush out dirt and wipe the track. Do not use heavy grease, which attracts dust.
