Wide views, smooth operation, and easy ventilation for larger openings

Slider windows — also called glider windows — open horizontally rather than vertically, making them the ideal choice for wide openings where traditional sash-style windows would be awkward or impractical. One or both sashes glide smoothly along a track, providing generous ventilation and an unobstructed panoramic view of your yard or landscape.
Because slider windows have no counterbalance springs or tilt mechanisms, they are mechanically simple and extremely easy to operate. They're a popular choice for living rooms, dining areas, and basement egress openings where a wide, low-profile window is desired. The sash lifts out completely for cleaning, so you can always maintain that clear view without the need for exterior ladder access.
Suburban Construction offers slider windows in a full range of sizes, frame colors, and glass options — including our FreedomMaxxx triple pane krypton glass system for the highest available energy efficiency. Every unit we install comes with our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Great for Modern Home Designs
Slider windows complement contemporary and ranch-style homes beautifully. Their clean horizontal lines and large glass area maximize natural light and create a strong visual connection between interior living spaces and the outdoors. If you're remodeling a great room, sunroom, or walk-out basement, sliders are worth serious consideration.
Energy Efficiency in Iowa & Illinois
The Quad Cities region experiences frigid winters and humid summers. Slider windows with standard dual-pane glass are a significant upgrade over aging single-pane units, but our triple pane krypton option takes energy performance to another level entirely. The FreedomMaxxx 10 glass system achieves a U-Factor that outperforms standard clear glass units by 70%, dramatically reducing the cold-weather heat loss that drives up your utility bills.
