There are quite a few choices, when it comes to replacement windows for your Indianapolis home. One option is gliding windows, also known as sliding windows. These attractive windows offer many benefits, but are they the best choice for your space?
If you’re after a maximum view from your Indianapolis home, gliding windows could be right up your alley. Sliding windows utilize more glass and less frame, providing the most glass area of any other type of operable window. These windows open horizontally along the window frame and are often used to brighten a room and provide better optics.
In addition to their beauty, gliding windows offer some convenient features. Because they use fewer parts, they are fairly low maintenance and easy to care for. Certain window components like springs can wear after years of use. Gliding windows aren’t reliant on this tricky hardware, decreasing your long-term maintenance costs and reducing the chance that you’ll need to repair or replace your panes earlier than expected. Also easy to use, gliding windows open and close easily and are relatively light weight. To open, you’ll simply release a latch to slide the window. Since they slide open, gliding windows are also a great way to save space, so they are a perfect fit for patios and decks, or along walkways.
Gliding windows are rather durable and provide some significant cost benefits for your Indianapolis home. When paired with the right glass, they are extremely energy efficient. Smooth, tracks allow these windows to life out easily, making cleaning a breeze. Gliding windows can replace existing windows of the same type, or in place of different window types. With all of these benefits, it’s easy to see why gliding windows have become so popular.
