I am here to gladly introduce you to this project in St. Louis, Illinois. The client wanted to pick windows that as a permanent element so that would not have to be replaced every time when the building was renovated. They wanted a solution that would be easy to install and maintain while also being aesthetically pleasing and functional within a relatively limited space.
This project has two large window holes in the limited living room area. In order to ensure enough light and opening area in the limited interior space. Based on the specifics of this project, our experts ultimately recommended to the client to use sliding windows as much as possible. Finally, the client was very satisfied with our work.
Because this project is in a city with high humidity levels at times during the summertime. Our sliding windows are equipped with aluminum cladding, these claddings are going to be as energy efficient as possible and their lifespan would be longer than usual wood windows. The client also wanted this product to look attractive from both the outside and inside. The whole house is full of wood and brick elements, just like a very exotic Southeast Asian jungle hut, so we used red oak as the raw material for the sliding windows to increase the curb appeal of the house.
Doorwin makes products with a clear idea of what we want each project to achieve, and is never limited. This is another project in Santa Barbara, California, which is a modern small bungalow.
In this scene, the dining room is decorated by Doorwin's Modern Minimalism Slimline lift & slide door and sliding windows, allowing people to experience a mind-blowing panoramic view indoors. The use of sliding doors and windows allows for the creation of larger activity areas throughout the interior with limited space. At Doorwin, 52.1% of customers who purchase sliding windows also choose to purchase our lift and slide doors.

In the above case, we offered the sliding windows according to the actual situation and needs of the customer. But in other cases, more customers will choose casement windows. When choosing window types, people usually struggle with which of the two most common window types to choose, sliding or casement windows? Generally, people will make a distinction because of the difference in design or function, but in fact, they have some other differences you may not notice, below we will talk about the pros and cons of them respectively.
Sliding Windows Pros: · The windows are easy to operate and open, leading to less potential mechanical failure. · The sliding window has no frame in the middle to provide a panoramic view and can be fully opened on one side to better ventilate the room. · Sliding windows have improved security features that include two-track latches that lock at the end of each sliding sash. · Sliding windows do not open inward or outward, so that they do not affect people or objects inside or outside the window opening. · Cheaper than a casement window.
Sliding Windows Cons: · After a long period of use, much debris will remain in the slide grooves, such as leaves, small bugs, and dirt, which are difficult to clean. When installed on a high floor, the exterior surface of the glass is also difficult to clean up. · The quality of the seal around the window sash determines the window's insulation, and after long periods of use, poor-quality seals may cause the entire window to become less airtight. This is not as good as the stability of the seal of the casement windows. | |
Let's start with a brief definition: Casement windows are generally connected by two or more hinges and are cranked or swung to be open. Casement windows can also be opened both in and outwards but generally open outwards.
| Casement Windows Pros: · There are many options for customization, including window types, special shapes, and a variety of functional options. More modernity in design and functionality. · The window casements are also flush with nearby panes and can be bigger than sliders while remaining functional. · Better sealing and energy efficiency than sliding windows since they form a tighter seal when closed. · The casement window design is an egress-friendly one. To meet the fire code, you can add at least one casement window per room.
Casement Window Cons: · In the opening status, it may affect the opening direction of people or objects. · Higher cost than sliding windows |
To sum up, if you have more budget and want your house to be more modern and multifunctional, you should prefer the casement window, and if you have limited space and want a more simple and convenient way to operate your windows, then you can choose the sliding window.

Sliding windows are simple in design and easy to operate. They consist of sashes that slide back and forth along a horizontal track to open or close. One pushes the window to the left or right; depending on the variant, one or both panes may be operable in the same way. Sliding windows can also be used to create a seamless transition between walls by allowing you to open them without disturbing any furniture or curtains. The most common reason for using sliding windows is that the house lacks interior space. This can be due to the need for an open concept, or simply because the area has been carved up into different rooms.
The following are some other reasons that homeowners can benefit from our sliding windows.
01 / Space-SavingSliding windows are an excellent addition to any home that is not quite spacious. These windows do not swing inwards or outwards, so you will have more space to use. With this window style, you will not have to worry about furniture placement or room layout. If you have a large living room or dining room, the sliding window can help you maximize your space by opening the door to the balcony or patio. You can also use it to give yourself access from one side of your house to another.
Sliding windows are also great for an extra bedroom or office space as they allow you to easily open up your home without having to rearrange furniture layouts or other rooms within the house.
02 / Easy to Maintain
Because they are relatively simple mechanisms, sliding windows have fewer moving parts, which contributes to their lower maintenance requirements. Because there are fewer parts to maintain than in a manual transmission, no springs or pulleys are required to maintain the proper operation of an automatic transmission. It's easier to manage them as they don't require routine upkeep.
In order to maintain the proper function of your window tracks, you only need to remove accumulated dirt and debris from the tracks, then lubricate them occasionally. Heavy maintenance need not be a concern as long as sliding windows are installed correctly and use high-quality glass.
In order to achieve a higher standard and add more functions, Doorwin cooperates with the German hardware brand Siegenia to provide higher-standard OEM hardware systems. We offer a wide range of door lock models, both with and without locks. There are also OEM custom handles from Siegenia, high-quality sliding rails, and closures to make Doorwin's sliding windows meet the longest lifespan with your house. | |
03 / Unlimited Panoramic ViewOne of the significant advantages of sliding windows is that they offer an uninterrupted view of the outdoors. The large, rectangular glass with no grilles and hence, the sliding window offers a panoramic view of the outdoors. Windows that slide open are an excellent addition to any home, allowing you to enjoy the view of your lush green backyard, garden, or cityscape. If you are considering replacing your existing windows with sliding windows and are concerned about how they will affect the view from inside the house, install them facing a strong outdoor view source and it will bring a piece of its natural surrounding images into the home.
04 / Energy Efficiency
Although sliding windows have some disadvantages in sealing compared to casement windows, at Doorwin we fit sliding windows with the best quality warm edge spacers and in the end, the thermal insulation of the product is also very good. Doorwin's standard option is double-pane glasses, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered or laminated glass, depending on the situation or your needs, there are also other options like triple-glazed laminated glass. They can create a comfortable and natural indoor environment and save electricity bills and heating bills around 100~300USD per month according to your whole building's fenestration areas.
