Horizontal-gliding windows — practical, affordable, and the go-to choice for basements and wide openings.
Slider windows move horizontally on smooth rollers, with no crank hardware and nothing projecting outside the wall. They're the most economical operating window we build and a staple of Alberta basements, bedrooms, and rental properties.
Single sliders operate one sash; double sliders open from both ends, and both styles offer lift-out sashes for easy cleaning. Sized correctly, sliders meet Alberta egress requirements for basement bedrooms — something we verify on every basement quote.
Yes, when sized correctly. Basement bedroom windows in Alberta need an unobstructed opening of at least 0.35 m² with no dimension under 380 mm. We size every basement slider to meet code.
Modern sliders with interlocking meeting rails, quality weather stripping, and Low-E argon glass perform well. For the absolute tightest seal in extreme exposure, consider casements.
