INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SLIDING WINDOWS

Sliding windows are great additions to homes, but many homeowners don’t understand all their features. In today’s post, we provide some lesser-known facts about sliding windows.

Interesting Facts About Sliding Windows

You Can Open Both Panels for Ventilation

If your room feels stuffy, you can easily open both panels of a sliding window for better ventilation. That is why sliding windows are the perfect choice for areas in your home that get easily crowded, such as your kitchen and living room.

The Glass Panels Can Be Lifted for Better Cleaning

Maintenance is the key to keeping your windows around for a long time, which is why sliding glass windows are designed to be cleaned entirely by lifting the panels out and washing both the interior and exterior side of the glass with ease.

The Grilles Are Removable

Apart from lifting glass panels for an easy cleaning method, windows like sliding windows and casement windows have removable grilles you can wash thoroughly as well.

We all know grilles on windows add to beauty and style, but they’re also more inclined to gather dust and grime, so they have to be properly cleaned now and then.

They Defend Against Allergens and Insects

Renewal by Andersen® offers the option of installing the TruScene® micro-fine stainless steel mesh for allergen protection.

Most commercially manufactured insect screens get in the way of your window’s views by cloaking the scenery with a noticeable screen net. But, the TruScene insect screen allows more fresh air and sunlight in without compromising the beauty of your surroundings.

"Have nothing but great things to say about the window installation done today by John Hutchinson with Renewal by Andersen! He was friendly, personable and professional and did a great job installing. He did a great job of putting down roller pads and tarps with next to zero clean up. Would highly recommend them for any window replacement needed!"

"We had our new Renewal by Andersen windows installed on June 5th & 6th, 2025 and we LOVE them! The quality, beauty, and functionality are best-in-class! The whole experience from dinner presentation at Lazy River Grill, the initial in-home sales consultation and measurement, the regular communications from the salesman and concierge, and the installation team’s professionalism and skills made the process so seamless. This is the second home we have opted for Renewal windows and doors and have been delighted both times! Thank you Renewal by Andersen STL! "

"I had an excellent experience with RbA STL. Our designer, Courtney, was great and the finished product is awesome. The installation was easy and the gentlemen left our home cleaner than they found it upon entering. I would recommend RbA STL - you’ll get tired from their constant contacts, and that’s a GOOD thing!"
