Gliding Windows

Gliding
windows

A smooth horizontal glide — modern, low-profile, and perfect for wide openings where you want an easy, unobtrusive operation.

Andersen 100 Series Gliding windows, made of Fibrex composite, effortlessly open and close horizontally on a track, so there’s no crank and nothing projecting in or out. The lines are super-clean, thin, low-profile lines modern for mid-century homes and wide openings.

They’re easy to operate, low-maintenance and a natural fit where a window sits above a counter or behind furniture.

Before & after

Same opening
One window that glides

Drag the handles. Two homes, the same change: a pair of double-hung windows came out, each with a rail across the middle, and one gliding unit went in — two panels on a track and nothing to lift. Seen from the street, the crown and the opening stayed and the shutters were rehung closer to the new frame. Seen from the room, the rail across the view is gone.

From the street

One window, two colors

Black Outside, White Inside

One triple Gliding window, photographed from the living room and from the front garden minutes apart. From the street it is black against red brick. From the room it is white, to go with the walls and the trim. The color the street sees does not have to be the color you live with.

A triple Gliding window seen from inside a living room: a white frame, grilles in the two end panels, a clear center panel looking onto a tree-lined street
Interior. White, to match the room.
The same triple Gliding window from outside: a black frame and black trim set in a red brick wall under a white soffit, shrubs in front
Exterior. The same window in black, against the brick.
