Acclaim® Sliding Window

If you want fresh air and fantastic views, consider Renewal by Andersen’s Acclaim® sliding (also called gliding) windows. With expansive glass area (the most of any of our operable windows), top-to-bottom ventilation, and contemporary styling, they are a beautiful, space-saving option.

Our sliding windows open on smooth, easy-to-maintain tracks, and lift out for easy cleaning of the exterior glass from the inside of your home. You can choose to have both sashes slide, or only one. The narrow, contoured Fibrex® material frames mean more viewing area.

Acclaim® gliding windows are ideal for maximizing a room’s view and ventilation. They are an excellent choice for rooms facing walkways, porches, decks, patios, or landscaping, as they do not protrude into the space. They can also be ordered in sizes that meet egress requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

About Sliding Windows

Everything you want to know about Acclaim® Sliding Windows.

How does an Acclaim® sliding window work?

Sashes glide horizontally on a track from side to side. Depending on the configuration, one or two sashes operate. Sashes can be removed for cleaning.

What are the three types of sliding window?

Active-Stationary (one operable, one fixed); Active-Passive (two moveable sashes); and Active-Stationary-Active (three panels: two operating sashes flanking a fixed center).

What’s the difference between vertical and horizontal sliding windows?

Horizontal sliding windows move left/right. Vertical sliding windows (double-hung) move up/down. Double-hung is more traditional in appearance; horizontal sliders are more contemporary and offer more glass area.

What sizes do sliding windows come in?

Sizes vary by sash configuration. A standard 1:1 ranges from 10.5"H x 22"W up to 72"H x 96"W. Triple configurations can reach up to 144" wide. Consult a representative for specifics.

Are sliding windows energy efficient?

Yes. Renewal by Andersen’s design moves weatherstripping from the frame to the sash for a cleaner seal. A continuous monorail frame minimizes air and water infiltration. Dual-action cam locks pull sashes together AND push the sash outward toward the frame for a tight seal on all sides.

How is the Renewal by Andersen sliding window different?

Weatherstripping is in the sash (not the frame), which is easier to keep clean and provides a better seal. The monorail frame has a continuous perimeter ridge that minimizes infiltration. Patent-pending sill water-management technology directs water out efficiently.

Can you replace just the moving part of a sliding window?

For non-Renewal by Andersen windows, full-frame or insert replacement is used. For existing Renewal by Andersen windows, operable sashes can be removed and replaced if necessary. Contact your local location for service or repairs.

Pure perfection from getting a salesman to come out and go over everything with us right up until the project is finished and cleanup was done. All the workers were very polite and answered my questions we had throughout the process.
