Aluminum sliders were once the best window you could put into your home. They were maintenance free, long lasting, and came in a range of colours.

In this day and age, they are not energy efficient enough when building today's highly efficient homes.

They are still excellent choices under the right conditions. Such as; warm climate locations, low budget upgrades, cottages, garages, basements, patio enclosures, gazebos, and there are many others.

Technical: 

• Available in white, brown, clear anodized and mill finish.

• Pile weather-stripping.

• Exterior sill expanders available.

• Can be mounted with hub in or hub out.

• Available with and without flange.

• Primes are with a lock and no screen.

• Storms have a screen but not lock.  Lock can be added when using storm as a primary window.

• Flange is 3/4" (19mm) wide.

• Hub extends 1 1/16" (27mm) in or out from flange.

Storms:

Storm windows are single pane.  Often used to make an existing old wood window more energy efficient at a low cost.  It cleans up the exterior view of the home, and adds another pane of glass to the existing window.  Storm windows have a bug screen, but no lock.

Primes:

Prime windows are similar to the storm window but are used on the inside of an existing window opening.  These windows have have no bug screen, but they include a spring loaded lock for security.

Series I:

Series I aluminum windows are a combination of a storm and a prime window, to make a dual run 3 1/4" (83mm) jamb window.  These are installed on either side of a wood buck with a vinyl thermal break in between.  Can be used as a dual pane, dual weatherstripped,  replacement window.
