Functional sliding windows
If you dream of plenty of natural light in every room, sliding windows come to the rescue. The models that take up the entire wall (from floor to ceiling) are a great option. They perfectly combine with your interior, have a comfortable way to open compared to classic window models.
Glass panels slide on rails, providing free air exchange. Your room will be filled with light and fresh air. Panoramic windows offer a gorgeous view of the yard, and the room becomes visually larger.
The sashes do not reduce the amount of available space – they move along the wall, so there is no need to free up part of the room near the window. If the area of the room is not designed for the classic sash model, panoramic sliding windows will be a great solution.
Our specialists offer several types of sliding windows:
- single window (only one sash is moved);
- double slider (two sections move);
- three panels (inside the frame – three panes, side sashes move, the part in the middle remains fixed).
Installation of this type of windows will greatly improve the appearance of your room. Specialists will help to take measurements and update the interior of the room by installing a sliding panoramic insulating glass unit.
Reasons for urgent window replacement
If you can’t decide to replace the insulating glass unit, pay attention to the most popular reasons that require urgent repair work. The first is increased utility costs. If the windows begin to let in cold air, energy consumption increases (heaters are used more often). To avoid unexpected costs, it is worth ordering windows with reinforced insulation and more windows.
Frame deformation or deterioration of the insulating glass unit are also reasons for urgent replacement. When the sashes open worse, stick, it is time to check the functioning of the fittings. In some cases, installing a new window is less expensive than repairing it.
Pay attention to the windows inside the room. If they seem significantly colder during the cold season, the tightness of the sashes is broken and air from the street enters the room. The room gets colder, so more heaters need to be connected. Order the installation of new insulating glass unit to forget about the chill in the room.
Another reason to replace windows is foundation settling. In this case, the frames can warp and the fittings can stop working correctly. When there are problems with opening or closing the window, it is worth contacting professionals – they will evaluate the extent of work required and offer the best solution. This can be a restoration of the old window or installation of another insulating glass unit.
