Sliding

Glass that slides aside, without a sash swinging into the room.

Wide three-panel black-framed slider in a warm plaster bedroom, linen drapes and a low oak bed, dense green trees beyond the glass

Exterior view of a dark-framed window assembly with nine panes set into a white plaster cantilevered wall, a bookshelf inside and treetops reflected in the glass — Set into the white plaster, the grid holding the room and the treetops at once

Open-plan dining room under black cylinder pendants with a whole wall of sliding doors opened to a covered patio, pool and lawn beyond — A whole wall of glass folded back from the pool

Four-panel sliding window in a slim white frame set into a plain plaster wall, dense fruit-bearing trees and a low concrete boundary wall visible beyond the glass, warm timber skirting running along the base of the wall — Four bays on one track, the fruit trees held close to the glass

The sash moves along its track, opening the room to the air without reaching into the space around it.

Panel arrangement, screen access and the sill are considered together, so the opening suits the way the room is used.

Custom and standard sizes

Every unit can be made to the exact opening, and standard sizes are available where a project calls for them. We survey first, model the span and weight, then confirm the section before anything is fabricated. Custom finishes are available.

Applications

Urban residences, multi-family and hospitality. Residential and commercial alike — the detailing changes, the standard does not.

Choosing sliding windows

A sliding window moves a sash horizontally along a track rather than swinging it into or out of the room. This can be useful beside a walkway or where an opening sash would meet furniture. The clear ventilation opening depends on the panel arrangement.

Confirm which panels move and where they park. Consider screen access, cleaning, handle position and the sill drainage together, especially for exposed openings. Send both the overall dimensions and the intended opening direction with your plans.
