VERTICAL SLIDER WINDOWS
Key Features:
Vertical Sliding Mechanism: The sashes move vertically, providing a smooth and space-saving way to open the window. It can be designed as either:
- Single-hung: Only the bottom sash slides vertically, while the top sash remains fixed.
- Double-hung: Both the top and bottom sashes can slide independently, allowing for better control of airflow.
Classic Aesthetic: Vertical sliders are often associated with traditional or heritage-style properties, particularly Georgian and Victorian buildings, but modern versions are available as well.
Balanced Design: These windows often use counterbalancing mechanisms like weights or springs to make opening and closing easier, even in larger windows.
Ventilation Control: With both sashes operable (in double-hung windows), you can open the top and bottom simultaneously, allowing warm air to escape through the top while cooler air enters through the bottom.
Energy Efficiency: Modern vertical slider windows are often fitted with double or triple glazing for enhanced insulation and can include weatherstripping to improve thermal performance.
Low Maintenance: Materials like uPVC or aluminum are often used in modern vertical sliders, making them more durable and easier to maintain compared to traditional timber sash windows.
Tilt-in Feature (Optional): Some vertical sliders come with a tilt-in function, allowing the sashes to tilt inward for easy cleaning, especially for upper-story windows.
Customization: Available in a variety of finishes, colors, and glazing options to suit different architectural styles, whether you’re restoring a period property or adding a classic touch to a contemporary home.
Vertical slider windows are admired for their timeless appeal and practical operation, offering a blend of traditional charm and modern convenience.
