The Standard Sliding Window Dimensions

[Brenda Bailey]

If you are searching for a window that will provide more insulation and comfort to your home, then the standard sliding window may be the best option for you. These windows can offer you a good amount of security as well.

The most popular and basic type of these windows are the ones called the pocket doors. These are just like the typical frosted or stained glass louvers found on standard windows except they are made out of plastic instead of glass.

Sliding glass panel doors are also referred to as sashes or aluminum casement doors. These are the traditional design when it comes to this type of window design viewing area. Some of them are called French doors. The sashes for these are installed along the outer rim of the frame of the door. There are usually four to six panes of glass, depending on the size and style of the door. There are also some models available that have a two-piece swing.

Pocket doors and sashes have two panes of glass. They are typically made of acrylic or fiberglass, and they are designed with a lip along the bottom edge of the panel for added security. This type of design is great for areas where a view is desired. They are ideal for sliding windows or French doors as their smaller size limits the amount of view that is allowed. They do not provide a good amount of insulation or storm protection for your home.

All of the above window designs can be found in several different sizes. It is up to you to find the ones that will best serve your needs. You should measure for your hung window as well, if you are going with one of the above styles. These measurements can be found on the manufacturer's information sheet or by using a tape measure.

Some of the standard sliding window sizes that do provide ventilation are single, double, or triple. However, they tend to be less popular than other types. For example, a triple pane that has a French opening is very popular, because it provides an excellent amount of ventilation when opened fully. Single panes do not provide as much ventilation, but they are ideal if your overall entry is small.

One of the things that can determine the standard window sizes that you purchase is the number of panes. The more panes, the larger the opening and therefore the larger the window opening. If you want a very large window opening, then you will need to get a larger opening in order to fit larger windows. Many people, however, prefer standard window openings.

There are a few other things to take into consideration when it comes to standard windows. First off, consider the rough opening measurement of each particular panel. This refers to the space between each individual pane. The rough opening can be found on the product literature or on the aluminum casement window manufacturers' website. Remember that standard windows may have rough openings and may also have varying amounts of rough surfaces. Determine which type you want before you purchase your window.
