There are plenty of reasons to love sliding windows. For starters, they come with clean and smooth lines that lend themselves well to Modern and Contemporary homes. Sliding windows also feature a large glass area that allows you to maximize your home’s viewing area and access to natural light. They are available in single and double window configurations, and you’ll need to decide which one to choose if you’re planning to have them installed in your home.
Single Sliding Window
A single sliding window has two sashes: a stationary one and another that glides to the left or right. Its neat and compact design makes it an ideal option for smaller rooms or tight corners that need sufficient natural light and ventilation. Single sliding windows are also easy to clean and maintain.
Double Sliding Window
This window option offers the same advantages as single sliding windows. But unlike the latter, both sashes of a double sliding window are operable. This provides you optimized control over ventilation, allowing cool and fresh air to enter your home on both sides of the window.
Which Should You Pick?
Your choice will depend on how you plan to use the window. As mentioned above, single sliding windows work best for ventilation and illuminating small-scale rooms like the powder room or laundry area, and tight nooks, such as the space above the kitchen sink. If your goal is to improve airflow in your living space, then you might want a double sliding window instead because of their two operable sashes.
