Mannlee sliding sash windows mix traditional style and modern features in your home. The sashes move smoothly past each other horizontally to let you open them quickly and get fresh air while keeping your rooms clear. Our sash windows come in wood, aluminum as well as vinyl to match your home’s look. The custom designs and high performance options make these windows very attractive and help you reduce energy costs. A sliding sash window brings both beauty and practical benefits to any room.
Sliding sash windows feature two panels or “sashes” that slide horizontally past each other to open. The sashes are set within the window frame, and move along vertical grooves. This allows both the top and bottom sashes to slide sideways independently.
These sliding sash windows provide good ventilation without occupying interior space. Many feature double panes for efficiency. With custom designs and materials, they suit traditional and modern architecture alike.
It depends. Standard sliding windows cost $500-1,200 installed. Vinyl models are the most affordable at around $300-700. Wood sliding windows fall in the higher end from $900-1,500 installed.
Cost of these sliding windows vary based on materials, energy features, custom sizes and labor. While not the cheapest option, quality sliding windows pay off long-term via lower heating/cooling bills and less maintenance than alternatives.
For a standard 24”x36” sliding window sash including the frame and double pane glass, expect to pay around $200-300 depending on materials. Larger or custom sash sizes may cost $500+.
Sashes for historic homes with wavy glass or other specialty features will fall on the higher end. Replacing just the sash is simpler than a full window installation, but make sure you confirm dimensions to achieve the proper fit.
Sash windows serve several key purposes: ventilation, aesthetics and space savings. With both top and bottom sashes that slide open horizontally, they allow fresh airflow without occupying room space.
Many feature weatherstripping for draft blocking when closed. Sash windows also showcase trim craftsmanship with their visible frames. Used since the 1600s, their traditional styling suits heritage architecture.
The main difference lies in operation. Box sashes feature a pulley-and-weight system that allows them to slide up and down vertically when opened. Sliding sashes do not have pulleys or weights; instead they simply slide horizontally side-to-side past each other along a track.
While box sashes are common in historic homes, modern sliding sash windows provide similar aesthetics with smoother and safer operation.
Compared to casements and awnings, sliding windows are slightly less energy efficient due to gaps at opening edges. They may also allow more dirt and dust inside, requiring frequent cleaning of tracks for smooth operation.
Locking mechanisms can be less secure on basic vinyl sliders. However, with quality weatherseals, reinforced frames and child safety features, modern sliding windows minimize these downsides for reliable performance.
