Side Slider Windows
This easy-to-use window requires little effort to open and close as the lightweight sashes glide along the frame with ease. When closed, they offer an unobstructed view, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery. Centennial’s vinyl side sliders are low maintenance and easy to clean; the vinyl does not need to be painted and both ends tilt to the inside of the home for safe and easy cleaning. Centennial’s ENERGY STAR® certified windows offer homeowners improved energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs all year. They’re best used in openings that are wider than they are tall, providing a classic look with great ventilation. This aesthetically pleasing style brightens and frames a room and is most popular in bedrooms, bathrooms, and finished basements.

FAQs
How do I know if I need to replace my side sliding windows?
Here are some simple examples that may indicate it’s time to replace your side sliding windows.
- They’re not energy efficient.
- The seal is broken and there is debris or condensation between the panes of glass.
- The wooden frames are rotting.
- You feel drafts while sitting near your windows.
- They’re difficult to open or are painted shut.
These are just a few examples, but if you’re experiencing any of these problems, it’s time to consider new windows for your home.
Can I open a side slider window from any end?
Yes. All Centennial side sliding windows are double sliders, meaning they can be opened at either end. This feature offers you more ventilation options because you can open one end at a time or both ends at the same time for optimum air flow. They also tilt into the home for easy cleaning.
Can I use a side sliding window in a basement?
Yes! Basements, both finished and unfinished, are one of the most popular places to install side sliders. This window type is wider than it is tall, so it works well in basements that do not have the space available for taller casement or double hung styles. They are also very easy to operate and do not require any lifting.
