Looking for a window that’s modern, space-saving, and easy to use? Sliding windows — also known as gliding windows — are the perfect combination of simplicity, performance, and style.
At Boston Doors & Windows, we install energy-efficient sliding windows that operate smoothly, look beautiful, and perform flawlessly — even through Boston’s toughest seasons. Whether you’re replacing outdated windows or designing a new space, we’ll help you find the right fit for your home.
What Are Sliding Windows?
Sliding windows open horizontally along a durable track, allowing one or both sashes to slide side to side. They’re ideal for wide openings or areas where you want great ventilation without the window extending outward or inward.
Their clean lines and easy operation make them a favorite among homeowners who appreciate both form and function.
Why homeowners love sliding windows:
- Effortless, horizontal operation
- Space-saving design — perfect near patios, walkways, or tight areas
- Unobstructed glass for wide, scenic views
- Excellent ventilation and airflow
- Low-maintenance construction for everyday convenience
Benefits of Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are designed for everyday use — reliable, low-maintenance, and built to last.
Here’s what makes them a great choice:
Smooth-gliding tracks make them easy to open and close with one hand.
Because they don’t swing out or in, they’re ideal for rooms near decks, driveways, or furniture.
Airtight seals and advanced glass options help maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
Clean, wide frames fit both modern and traditional homes
No cranks, pulleys, or complex parts — just a simple, durable mechanism.
Heavy-duty tracks and rollers ensure smooth, long-lasting performance.
Keep out dust, noise, and moisture — even in strong coastal winds.
Energy Efficiency That Performs
Our sliding windows are built to handle Boston’s four-season climate with ease — keeping you comfortable and helping lower your energy costs year-round.
Efficiency Advantages:
- Dual- or triple-pane insulated glass for superior thermal control
- Low-E coatings that reflect heat in summer and retain warmth in winter
