GLIDER REPLACEMENT
Gliding windows are sometimes referred to as sliders or slide-bys. The windows glide open from the sides of the frame rather than up or down commonly found in double-hung windows. Gliders feature two sashes, with at least one sash sliding horizontally past the other in a single frame. They are a great complement to any St. Paul or Minneapolis area home, and they can be easily opened up to let in fresh air for your family and guests to enjoy.
Andersen’s gliders are available with many different options so that you can customize them to match perfectly with your home’s interior and exterior. There are many glass patterns, trim options, grid options, and colors that can be combined into your custom fit windows. Because of our expertise in replacing windows in Minnesota, we can almost always change a window style from a casement-double or twin double-hungs to a gliding window
