Aluminium Sliding Window Configurations.
Standard
Standard aluminium sliding doors feature two parallel panels: one fixed window and one sliding sash that moves horizontally to open.
Double
Double slider windows feature two operable sashes that slide horizontally for flexible operation.
Bi-Parting
Bi-parting sliding windows feature two panels slide open from the centre, meeting a fixed panel when closed for a wide opening.
Stacking
Stacking sliding windows feature multiple panels that slide horizontally and stack behind one another when opened, creating a wide, unobstructed opening.
Overlights
Fixed windows can be incorporated above the sliding window.
Cavity
Cavity sliding windows slide into a recess within the wall when fully opened, minimising obstruction.
Aluminium Panel
Solid aluminium panels can be incorporated as a sliding panel to replace glazing, providing sun shading or added privacy.
Double Hung
Double hung sliding windows slide vertically, creating a vertical sliding window that provides excellent airflow control and a timeless aesthetic. We also offer a paired double hung window option, a popular configuration for many projects.
Are Sliding Windows the Right Choice?
Aluminium sliding windows are a popular choice for modern projects, providing numerous benefits and versatile applications. With our team’s expertise, we’ll help you choose the ideal window solution tailored to your project’s needs.
Space Maximising: Unlike windows that swing outward, sliding windows operate on a horizontal track, making them perfect for spaces with limited exterior clearance or interior space restrictions.
View Maximising: With slender sightlines and uninterrupted glass panels, our sliding window design ensures expansive views and allows plenty of natural light to fill the space.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Contribute to a stronger interior-exterior connection, creating open and connected living spaces.
Partial Opening: Sliding window panels can be opened to various widths, providing flexible airflow and adjustable ventilation.
