Slider Windows

About Slider Windows

This style has a sash that opens horizontally to let fresh air flow in. Unlike the casement style, this style's sliding sash remains captive in the window’s frame, maximizing the interior space of your room.

Combining the unique features of the Element Double Hung, the Elements Slider allows additional style and operation choices for your home. The Elements Sliders bring increased versatility and maintenance freedom.

DecoFrame^TM 
Sculpted interior and exterior design delivers a refined new look.  the authentic cove-mold wood design products a beautiful window while the slim profile maximized your view.

K-Beam^TM  - For the ultimate in durability, Kevlar® reinforced fiberglass composite that holds screw threads better than any other material is five times stronger than steel and over 700 times better thermally than aluminum.  K-Beam^TM  is a patent-pending exclusive feature of Soft-Lite Elements^TM that will not transfer heat or cold through the window as summons metal reinforcements does under lesser designs.

Robotically Fusion-Welded Seams

Corners are fusion welded and automatically cleaned using the best robotic equipment available for the ultimate in quality consistency.  Many lesser-quality vinyl and all fiberglass and wood windows are "screwed and glued" together in the seams.  This creates a weak spot prone to workmanship error in one of the most critical areas of a window's design.

DuraLatch^TM

We use two superior, grade 10 forced-entry-tested vent latches on each Elements Double Hung Slider window.  When you're home, you can leave your windows open for ventilation and still feel secure.

ComfortFoam^TM
Strategic main-frame and sash chambers are fully insulated with softly expanding polyurethane foam insulation.  Environmentally friendly and CFC-free, ComfortFoam^TM  has  insulating properties that improve the overall thermal performance of the windows.  Don't be fooled by dubious claims of impressive thermal values of any one component of a window.  Look for the overall NFRC U-value to compare one window to another thermally.

Integral Ergonomic Lift Rail
Easy to operate ergonomically designed lift rail conforms to your fingertips for easy sash operation.

UltraSmart^TM Weather-stripping
Ultrafab® Tri-Fin® Gold Series weather-stripping, with built-in Ultra-Fresh® antimicrobial protection, minimizes drafts, dust and pollen and fights the growth of mold on the weather-stripping materials.

Three sturdy polyethylene fins provide additional barriers and diversions against air and water infiltration.  There are over 600" of weather-stripping in an average size double-hung window - more than twice as much protection then common windows provide.

Solid Brass Roller System

Elements Sliders feature solid brass rollers with solid steel axels housed in a thermoplastic chassis that lasts forever.  Solid brass roller modules are positioned by our robotic computer-controlled equipment at exact balance points in each sash.  They are smooth, durable, and quiet.  Sliding open these sashes, even heavier sashes fitted with triple-pane or laminated glass, has never been easier.
