MenuModern windows allow the homeowner a wide range of different options. Not only does this apply to the look and materials used, but you can also choose the way in which they open. Sliding UPVC windows are an increasingly popular choice with homeowners and come in a variety of colour options.
What are single and horizontal sliding windows?
As the name suggests, horizontal sliding windows are windows that open horizontally. Rather than opening outwards or inwards on hinges, sliding windows open by sliding backward and forward horizontally. This sliding glass window allows a degree of ease and control that many homeowners enjoy or find helpful. Single sliding windows will have one sash fitted permanently, while the other sash opens and closes horizontally as required.
Simple design
Horizontal sliding windows have a simple design, with no springs, pulleys, or hinges. This means that there’s less to go wrong, and less maintenance required. This simple design makes them a great alternative to casement windows, particularly where there’s a large window space that needs to glazed.
Easy to use
The windows are lightweight and easy to open and close. They don’t require much energy to move from one position to another and nor do you have to stretch to close them. In some situations, such as when a window is fitted above a kitchen work surface, this can save an awful lot of trouble.
A good choice for extra-wide openings
If you have a large window expanse to glaze then horizontal sliding windows can make an excellent choice. It’s easier to manufacture larger panels, and a sliding window can help to accentuate the space. Having a large expanse of glass will also allow more natural light into your room, adding to a feeling of spaciousness.
Added visual interest
Single and horizontal sliding windows have a real visual impact. They can give a room an extra something becoming a focal point in themselves. Many people prefer the look of horizontal windows as well as their operation.
What kind of homes might benefit from sliding or horizontal windows?
Essentially, any kind of home might benefit from horizontal sliding windows. Many homeowners simply prefer their operation, ease of use, and low maintenance aspects. For other people, it’s the visual impact they might have. If your property enjoys a beautiful view or you’d like to look out on your garden, then horizontal sliding windows can be a great choice
