The simplicity of styling and adaptability to many home window applications, make the double slider a popular choice. Both sashes of the double slider slide horizontally within the frame, and are perfect for areas where large windows allow for an unobstructed view, and where maximum ventilation is required.
Since both sashes tilt in and move, exterior cleaning is made easy and can be done from the inside. The easily removable full screen makes it easy to freshen up screens whenever required.
Double slider windows offer homeowners the freedom to select the layout that best suits their ventilation needs, room layout, and design preferences.
Both sashes tilt inward, allowing safe and convenient access to exterior glass surfaces for cleaning and maintenance without ladders, tools, or professional assistance.
Multiple internal vinyl chambers enhance structural strength while improving thermal performance, helping reduce heat loss, increase security, and maintain consistent indoor comfort.
Manufactured from premium 100% uPVC compound, the frame resists discoloration, warping, and impact over time, while the Insta-lock shoe system ensures smooth, effortless sash movement for reliable daily operation.
With a deeper 4-9/16″ frame and a slimmer 2-7/8″ visible profile, the UltraSlim Series with hidden gasket delivers a sleek, modern look while maximizing glass area. It is designed for seamless integration into new construction and larger openings.
A proven 3-1/4″ frame depth with a standard profile, the Classic Series is ideal for retrofit and replacement projects. It delivers excellent thermal performance, a familiar aesthetic, and reliable compatibility with a wide variety of installation conditions.

A double slider window is a horizontal window where both sashes slide left and right, allowing ventilation from either side. This design is simple, durable, and well suited for everyday residential use in Canada.
Yes — when properly manufactured and installed, double slider windows can be highly energy efficient. Performance depends on:
Modern double sliders are designed to meet Canadian energy-efficiency standards when paired with proper glazing.
Casement windows generally achieve a slightly tighter seal because they close under compression. However, high-quality double slider windows with reinforced frames and precision tracks still provide excellent air-tightness for most homes — especially when drafts are caused by aging windows rather than design type.
Double sliders are commonly installed in:
They're especially practical where outward-opening windows would be obstructed.
Yes. One of their biggest advantages is low maintenance:
This makes them a popular choice for homeowners looking for reliability and simplicity.
Absolutely. When built with welded vinyl frames, insulated glass units, and proper sealing, double slider windows perform well in cold climates. Proper installation is critical to prevent air leakage and heat loss during winter months.
Yes. Double slider windows can be customized with:
This allows homeowners to balance appearance, privacy, and performance.
