Matching new windows to a home’s original style or transforming an outdated home into a contemporary, modern-looking one seem to be the top two demands from homeowners looking to make a change. Sound familiar? Whether you’re looking to match or looking to transform, slider replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA offer key benefits to support both ventures.   

Unfortunately, slider windows—also called gliding or sliding windows—don’t get the attention they deserve. Other, fancier or more complex window styles have stolen much of the attention away from this great option. Here are five reasons slider windows are the perfect solution for a home improvement project this year.   

 1. Slider Windows are Versatile 

Slider windows can come in virtually any size. There are slider window options with one moving sash, two, and multiple. Depending on your specific layout, budget, and needs, your slider replacement windows can be customized to fit any space.  

 2. Slider Windows Offer Extra Natural Light 

The narrow frames of a slider window make for less obstructed views of the outdoors. This allows in more light and gives homeowners better visibility of their outside living space. This feature is especially beneficial for the following types of homeowners:  

• Parents. When the children are in the backyard playing, better visibility is a comfort to a mom and dad.  
• Pet owners. Keeping an eye on a dog who likes to dig holes when “no one is watching” is no longer an issue when pet owners can see across the patio to the fence line.  
• Nature lovers. We live in a beautiful environment here in California. Replacement windows with narrow frames allow lovers of nature to see everything they want to see.  

• Hosts. Extended views give homeowners a better indoor-outdoor connection, which is especially enjoyable for those who entertain guests in the home, host dinner parties, and throw holiday gatherings.  

3. Slider Windows Come in Various Styles 

Finding a slider window to fit your unique preferences and lifestyle is simple:  

• For added ventilation in a small space: consider a small slider window from Marvin, like the Infinity Replacement Glider.  
• Added light in a room: Marvin Infinity Gliders are a beautiful option for any space and are available in left, right, or triple sash configurations.  

• For wall to wall light: two great options are Marvin’s Ultimate OXXO Glider or one of Milgard Windows Tuscany Series.  

 4. Slider Windows are Space Savers 

Because slider windows operate on a track and do not swing outward to open, they are the perfect solution for homes with windows located near decks, porches, walkways, or landscaping.

5. Easy Operation  

The are window types that are easy to operate make for a better home. They’re safer in an emergency and will not compromise protection for children. For added security, locking customizations can be added. Slider windows glide horizontally to the left and right—anyone can open them with ease from the inside to catch a nice breeze.
