Gliding / Sliding

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. Both sides of the sliding windows operate on easy-to-maintain, fibrex material, tracks and easily lift out for easy cleaning from inside your home.

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.
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. This high quality material performs well compared to wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and especially well against vinyl.

Renewal by Andersen’s 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 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.
