Excel Windows
Slider Windows
Sliders move side to side instead of up and down. No crank, low profile, and a good fit for wide openings where you want more glass than height.
Slider windows open by gliding side to side along a track. There's no crank and no sash to lift, so they're easy to work and easy to live with. They suit wide openings well — the kind of spot where you want more width than height.
You'll see them a lot in basements, over counters, and on the backs of houses. We've been installing them in south-suburb homes since 1982 — measured right, sealed right, no draft come February.
BRANDS WE INSTALL
Slider Windows — common questions
When does a slider make more sense than a double-hung?
When the opening is wider than it is tall. A slider fills a wide space with glass and is easy to work where you can't reach to lift a sash — like over a counter or in a basement.
Do the sashes come out for cleaning?
On most slider models the sashes lift out of the track so you can clean both sides from inside. We'll show you how yours work at the walk-through.
Are sliders good for a basement?
Yes, they're one of the most common basement choices. The low profile fits the short, wide openings you usually find down there.
Will a slider seal as tight as other windows?
A quality slider with good weatherstripping seals up well for our winters. We set it level and seal the frame so you're not feeling a draft.
How long does the install take?
Most whole-home jobs run one to two days, weather depending. We give you a real timeline up front.
What's the warranty?
You get the manufacturer's product warranty plus Excel's labor warranty. The specifics are written into your contract — read them, and ask us anything.
Will the same crew be on my job?
Yes. We send the same crews job after job — low turnover, same faces from start to finish.
