YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Sliding Windows FAQs
Are sliding windows easy to clean?
Yes. Cleaning has never been easier with our custom-built sliding windows. Each window is equipped with a unique DuraBrake™ pivot/glide system that allows the window sash to turn inward, which gives you easy access to the exterior glass for quick and simple cleaning right from the inside of your home.
How do I open my sliding window?
Simply slide your window open to let in a little fresh air and easily slide it shut when you’re through.
Are sliding windows energy efficient?
Yes. With low-E glass, sliding windows can help reduce your energy consumption over time.
Will my purchase be protected by a warranty?
Yes. All windows from Window World of Columbia are protected by the industry’s strongest limited lifetime warranty.
What is a sliding window?
Also known as slider windows, sliding windows have sashes that can slide open or closed. Sashes on sliding windows are designed to move back and forth horizontally, unlike double hung windows, which have sashes that move up and down vertically.
How do you clean sliding windows?
To properly clean sliding windows, you’ll want to remove both window sashes. To remove your sashes for cleaning, follow these steps:
- Slide the sash towards the opposite side, leaving a gap of about 3”.
- Lift the sash as high as it will allow.
- Pull the bottom of the sash inwards towards you and remove it from the rail.
- Carefully lower the right sash to the floor so it can be cleaned.
- Slide the sash towards the opposite side, again leaving a gap of about 3”.
- Raise the sash as high as it will allow.
- Pull the bottom of the sash inwards towards you and remove it from the rail.
- Carefully lower and place the ash onto the floor where it can be cleaned.
How do you put a sliding window back in its frame?
Removing and reassembling sliding window sashes is much more simple than it may appear. To put your sliding window sashes back in place, follow the steps below:
- Push the top of the exterior-facing window sash up until it sits in the outer window track (the track closest to the exterior of the window). Continue providing upward pressure and push the bottom of the window sash into place on the lower track.
- Next, push the top of the interior-facing window sash into the upper track (on the interior side of the frame). While continuing to apply upward pressure, push the lower portion of the inner window sash into the lower track until it is securely in place.
How do you measure sliding windows?
When replacing windows, you should always have a professional take measurements before making a purchase. That being said, if you’re interested in measuring sliding windows, please follow the instructions below:
- Remove your sliding window sashes from the window frame and place them carefully on the ground or in a safe place.
- Begin by measuring the width of your window frame, specifically the space between the window jambs on either side.
- Next, measure the height of the windows, at the most narrow point.
- Finally, measure the window depth by taking measurements of the space between the outer and inner window stops.
