Single Slider Windows

Angled exterior view of a black single slider window, rendered from the Panes 3D configurator

One sash slides horizontally beside a fixed section. It stays within the frame, which can suit openings beside walkways. The fixed section remains closed.

Best uses

Space-Saving Design

Sash glides horizontally with no outward swing, making it perfect for areas facing patios, walkways, or tight exterior spaces.

Configure Single Slider Windows · All window styles

Plan your made-to-order single slider windows

Choose the operating side and cleaning model

One sash slides horizontally beside a fixed section. Confirm which side moves as viewed from outside and allow access to the fixed glass. Select the separate single slider tilt model when you want the operating sash to tilt inward for cleaning.

Compare glass for your climate

For Midwest and Northeast projects, compare double-pane and triple-pane packages using the whole-window U-factor and SHGC for the selected configuration. Lower U-factor means less heat transfer; SHGC describes solar heat gain. Sun exposure, shading and local requirements matter too. Confirm the applicable ratings and any certification for your final size and glass package.

Review the complete order

Your configured price depends on the size, glass, finish and selected options. Review quantity, taxes, freight and any order-level charges separately, and confirm final dimensions before purchasing. Panes supplies custom windows across the continental US; arrange installation with your contractor. Confirm freight access and delivery timing before scheduling the work.

Single-slider window prices by size

Compare three widths at the same 36-inch frame height. One sash slides horizontally and the other stays fixed. Choose the standard lift-out model or the separate tilt model. These examples use the same dimensions as our double-slider comparison so you can compare the two operating styles.

Price is for one made-to-order window with a regular screen and no grilles. Brickmould and interior jamb extensions are excluded. Tax, freight and installation are separate. These are editable starting configurations, not in-stock sizes. Frame dimensions are not rough-opening or clear-opening dimensions; confirm the final measurements and installation details before ordering.

Start with a 60 × 40 inch frame. Both examples have one horizontally moving sash and one fixed section; the tilt model adds inward cleaning access to the moving sash. The fixed glass still needs separate access.

Double-pane Low-E 272 / clear with argon. Frame dimensions shown below; confirm the rough opening and installation allowance separately.

Exterior views rendered from the Panes 3D configurator. Confirm dimensions and finish samples before ordering.

Choose the cleaning model

Select the standard or tilt model deliberately. Tilt describes cleaning access; it does not turn the fixed section into an operating sash.

Check the moving side

Confirm the opening direction as viewed from outside. Compare a double slider if you need to choose which side opens. Neither layout opens the entire frame width.

Included in these examples: Each example has white exterior and interior, a regular screen, no grilles and no nailing flange. Brickmould and interior jamb extensions are excluded. Prices are for one complete configured window; tax, delivery and installation are separate.

White/white and black exterior/white interior are available for these styles. Open a configuration to choose a finish or the version with a nailing flange. Confirm the installation method before choosing the flange; custom dimensions and options change the price.

Estimated production is 15–20 business days, followed by freight transit. For US projects, arrange measurement and installation with your contractor. Confirm freight charges, unloading access and delivery timing for your address.

Views from the Panes configurator

Your single slider, from both sides.

One sash slides horizontally beside a fixed section. These views show the standard single-slider model in black outside and white inside. Choose the separate tilt model if you want the operating sash to tilt inward for cleaning.

Black exterior

A closed 60 × 40 inch single slider with a black exterior. The sliding sash overlaps the fixed section, so the frame width is different from the usable opening width.

White interior

The same white interior with the lock positions at the meeting rail. Review the operating direction from outside when specifying the window.

Made to order by Panes.

The NFRC directory identifies Panes Window Manufacturing Inc. as the manufacturer. Our published reference tables connect each window family and glass package to its CPD number, so you can compare the window you plan to order.

  1. Define each opening

    Record frame width and height, operating direction as viewed from outside, standard or tilt model, finish, glass and installation flange.

  2. Review before production

    Match every opening to the approved configuration and itemized price. Confirm the whole-window rating for the selected frame and glass combination.

  3. Plan the arrival

    Allow 15–20 business days for window production, then freight transit. Arrange measurement and installation with your contractor; confirm your delivery address, freight charges and receiving access.

U-factor
Heat transfer through the complete window. Lower values indicate better insulation. U.S. values use Btu/(h·ft²·°F); metric equivalents use W/(m²·K).
SHGC
Solar heat gain coefficient, from 0 to 1. Lower values admit less solar heat.
VT
Visible transmittance, from 0 to 1. Higher values admit more visible light.

These reference configurations have no grilles. Each row preserves the NFRC manufacturer code for its frame, glass and gas combination. Select the matching series and glass package, and confirm the CPD number and label for your order. Different glass, grilles, frame systems and joined assemblies can have different ratings.

For Midwest and Northeast projects, compare heat transfer, winter sunlight and summer exposure together. A lower U-factor indicates less heat transfer. A lower SHGC admits less solar heat; a higher SHGC admits more. VT describes visible light transmission. Orientation, shading and local code affect the choice. NFRC ratings alone do not establish ENERGY STAR eligibility.
