The Facts
-
A vertical sliding window is just that, a window that opens vertically rather than horizontally. The window is lifted upwards to open rather than pushed outward or pulled inward.
Features
-
The window is made up of one or more moveable panels or "sashes" that form frames, allowing for the sliding of the glass.
-
History
-
Traditionally, vertical sliders are the most common type of window in the U.S. due to their convenience and are equally common in other parts of the world that were at one time colonized by the United Kingdom.
Types
-
There are double-hung sash windows, which allow for both sashes to be moved, or single-hung sash windows, which have one fixed sash.
Considerations
-
When painting the windows, avoid painting inside the jambs because the dried paint will fuse the window in place, making it nearly impossible to move.
