What is a sliding window?
If you’re considering sliding window replacement in Rhode Island, sliding windows are one of the best upgrades you can make for your home. Also known as gliding windows, pocket sliding windows, or horizontal sliding windows, they operate horizontally with one sash sliding into a pocket across the other, providing ample open space to the outside. The sashes glide smoothly on brass rollers, making them effortless to open and close every day.
Many modern homes along with ranch-style homes are designed for slider windows. They look great, complement a variety of architectural styles, and are incredibly easy to maintain. The sashes lift out of the pocket for simple cleaning, no ladder required. Once you’re done, put the sashes back in the locked position for security. Rest assured they cannot be removed when locked in place.
Double the options with a Harvey Two-Lite Slider
You’ll love the versatility of the Two-Lite Slider. It allows you to move the sashes in either direction, giving you ventilation on either side of the equal-sized sashes. Whether you’re looking for replacement sliding windows or a brand-new installation, this option adapts to your home’s needs beautifully.
Harvey Three-Lite Sliders
Our three-lite sliding window has the best of both worlds: one stationary section and two slider sections that can be operated from either side of the window. The three-lite slider can have a fixed center up to two times the width of the fixed outer sashes, allowing for two operable sashes that are each 1/4 of the total size. We also offer three-lite sliders with equal-sized sashes for a more balanced, symmetrical look.
