Sliding Windows
The sliding window is made up of two (or more) sashes that slide horizontally, to the left or right, on tracks. The sliding window can be made wider and taller with the addition of sashes.The sliders work on a 'ride over' mechanism.
Result: The track on which the sash slides is raised slightly above the ground, preventing dust from settling in the track. The dust-free track ensures a far smoother sliding motion when compared to conventional sliders.
Fenesta offers two ranges of sliding windows; Series 1500 and Series 3000 depending on the size, wind loads, insulation and design requirements.
