WINDOWS WITH CLEAR GLASS
CLEAR GLASS OPTIONS: Clarity and Strength for Every Need
Our clear glass options provide the perfect balance of visibility, durability, and customization for your windows. Choose from a range of glass types to suit your specific requirements:
ANNEALED GLASS: The standard in window glass, annealed glass offers excellent clarity and a smooth surface. It's ideal for most residential applications where safety glass is not required.
TEMPERED GLASS: For areas requiring increased safety, tempered glass is heat-treated to be significantly stronger than annealed glass. If broken, it shatters into small, rounded pieces, reducing the risk of injury.

- Single Strength: Lightweight and suitable for smaller windows
- Double Strength: Offers increased durability and sound insulation
- Triple Strength: Provides maximum strength and noise reduction, ideal for large windows or harsh environments

What Is a Slider Window?
A slider window opens horizontally along a track instead of lifting vertically like a double hung window.
Most slider windows use:
- two panes
- or three panes
One or more of the sashes slide side-to-side while the remaining pane stays fixed.
Slider windows are commonly used where the opening is:
- wider than it is tall
- difficult to reach
- located near counters or patios
2-Lite vs. 3-Lite Slider Windows
2-Lite Slider Windows
A 2-lite slider uses: one fixed pane one operable sliding pane This is the most common slider configuration.
3-Lite Slider Windows
A 3-lite slider uses: a large fixed center pane two operable side panels
This setup allows:
- larger viewing areas
- increased ventilation
- wider openings
Which Configuration Is Best?
2-Lite Works Best For:
- standard basement openings
- smaller kitchen windows
- utility spaces
3-Lite Works Best For:
- larger living spaces
- patio-facing walls
- wider openings needing more ventilation
Best Uses for Slider Windows
Basements
Slider windows naturally fit wider basement openings and can work well for egress applications when properly sized.
Over Kitchen Counters
Horizontal operation is easier to reach than lifting a vertical sash over a counter.
Above Kitchen Sinks
Slider windows are often easier to open while leaning over a sink.
Patio & Backyard Walls
Slider windows visually pair well with sliding glass patio doors.
Garages & Workshops
A practical, low-maintenance option for utility-focused spaces.
Where Slider Windows May Not Be Ideal
Tall, Narrow Openings
Double hung or casement windows usually work better visually and functionally.
Maximum Energy-Efficiency Applications
Casement windows generally achieve tighter air-seal performance than sliders.
Traditional Front Elevations
Many Colonial and traditional-style homes visually pair better with double hung windows.
Important Things to Know About Slider Windows
Slider Windows Typically Have Slightly Higher Air Leakage
Because the sash slides horizontally along a track, slider windows generally allow slightly more air movement than fully compression-sealed styles like casements.
That does not make them inefficient it is simply part of the design.
Tracks Require Occasional Cleaning
Tracks can collect:
- dust
- debris
- leaves
- winter ice buildup
Occasional vacuuming and wipe-down maintenance helps maintain smooth operation.
Fixed Glass Cleaning
On most slider windows:
- the operable sash can be removed for cleaning
- the fixed pane must be cleaned from outside
Basement Egress Sizing Matters
Some basement openings may require larger configurations to meet egress code requirements.
Broadview evaluates:
- opening size
- code requirements
- ventilation needs
during the consultation process.
Best Fit for Slider Windows
Best For
✅ Basements
✅ Kitchens
✅ Over-counter spaces
✅ Patio-side walls
✅ Wide horizontal openings
May Not Be Ideal For
⚠ Tall narrow windows
⚠ Historic-style front elevations
⚠ Maximum airtightness applications
Energy Efficiency & Performance
Modern slider windows offer strong energy performance when paired with:
- Low-E glass
- argon gas fills
- insulated frames
- Energy Star-certified glass packages
Typical Performance Targets
- U-Factor: approximately 0.27–0.30
- SHGC: approximately 0.30–0.40
- Visible transmittance: 0.50+
- Air leakage ratings within Energy Star standards
For many basement and kitchen applications, the small efficiency difference between sliders and other styles is less important than choosing the correct window type for the opening itself.
Material Options for Slider Windows
Vinyl Slider Windows
The most common choice because of:
- affordability
- low maintenance
- energy efficiency
- durability
Wood-Clad Slider Windows
Used more selectively where interior wood appearance matters.
Fiberglass Slider Windows
Excellent for:
- larger openings
- premium projects
- added structural stability
Broadview installs slider windows from: Andersen ProVia Marvin Simonton
Why Proper Installation Matters
Slider windows rely heavily on:
- perfectly level tracks
- proper alignment
- smooth sash movement
Poor installation can cause:
- sticking
- binding
- air leakage
- premature hardware wear
Broadview uses trained in-house installation crews to help ensure proper operation and long-term performance.
