Gliding / Sliding Replacement Windows

Gliding, also called sliding windows, use more glass area and less frame and offer the maximum glass area of any window style. Renewal by Andersen®’s sliding window is an ideal space-saving solution, especially in areas where a projecting window may interfere with a sidewalk, patio, or deck. The all-new gliding roller system features self-lubricating rollers and stainless-steel axles making it easy to operate, regardless of size. Our patented water-management technology features a sill design that directs water away from the window quickly and efficiently and the exclusive sliding weather stripping system provides superior weather tightness, guarding against drafts and water infiltration. Our sliding windows glide smoothly with easy-to-maintain tracks and lift out for easy cleaning of the exterior glass from the inside of your home. You can choose to have both sashes slide, or only one.

Fibrex® material is a better window framing material for various reasons:

Because it is a composite using real wood fiber, this material is extremely strong. This results in narrower frames, which, in turn, results in more glass coverage.
As a low-maintenance composite, it expands and contracts on a minimal basis, even with extreme temperature ranges. Fibrex® material can withstand heat, making your home more comfortable.
Due to this material difference, Renewal by Andersen® can offer one of the best limited warranties in the industry.

Consider everything you come to expect from a quality window. Fibrex® material makes a world of difference in every instance, in every window. This high quality material performs well compared to wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and especially well against vinyl.

Renewal by Andersen’s sliding window color palette has been individually selected to match or complement colors that are in and around your home. Keep it simple by matching interior and exterior colors or go with a stainable wood, white, or canvas (off-white) color interior. These colors will not flake, rust, blister, peel, crack, pit, or corrode. Please note that the colors shown are approximations and are subject to manufacturer changes.

With several window color options, you can match your home’s existing color scheme or change the look by choosing a new color that complements your new windows. Choose from three standard colors (White, Canvas or Stone) or from other exclusive finishes.
