What is a Glider?

A glider is a window with two operable sashes that move left or right inside the frame of a window. With the ability to tilt sash inward, a glider window is easy to clean, and the option of moving one or both sashes promotes airflow within the room. These features make a glider window a popular choice for residential buildings.
