Sliding

Nobilex sliding windows are a modern solution for comfortable and functional glazing. Thanks to the opening mechanism, the sashes move along the structure, which saves space in the room and provides convenient access to fresh air.

Sliding windows use space efficiently and make large openings easy to open. The sashes of such structures travel along guide tracks, so opening them requires no extra space inside or outside the room.

Nobilex window systems manufactures sliding structures for balconies, loggias, terraces, gazebos and other spaces, taking into account the dimensions of the openings and operating conditions.

Structural advantages of sliding windows

Sliding systems have a compact opening mechanism and make efficient use of the floor area of the room. They are well suited to large-format glazing, provide a wide view and can be used to create wide passages.

Among the main advantages:

• space saving;
• easy opening of large openings;
• the ability to create a wide passage;
• large glazing area;
• a modern look for the structure;
• the ability to combine fixed and movable sections.

The performance of a sliding system depends on the profile, the glazing unit and the hardware. For large sashes the quality of the roller mechanism is especially important, since it has to keep the structure moving smoothly and carry the weight of the glazing.

Where sliding windows are installed

Sliding systems suit different types of spaces and structures. They are most often used for:

• balconies and loggias;
• terraces and verandas;
• private houses;
• panoramic glazing;
• gazebos;
• large window and door openings.

Such structures are especially convenient where furniture, a work area or other items are placed in front of the window and can get in the way of opening a standard sash.

Materials for sliding systems

Sliding structures can be made from aluminum or PVC profiles. The choice depends on the size of the structure, the purpose of the room and thermal insulation requirements.

Cold aluminum systems can be used for unheated balconies, terraces, gazebos and other seasonal areas. For residential spaces and insulated areas, structures with the appropriate thermal insulation characteristics are used.

Aluminum systems make it possible to create large glazing areas and structures with narrow profiles. PVC options can be the right choice for rooms where thermal insulation and comfort matter.

How to choose sliding windows

The choice takes into account the dimensions of the opening, the purpose of the room, the number of sections, the way they move and the required level of thermal and sound insulation.

Choosing the right glazing unit is important. Multifunctional glazing units can be used on the sunny side, and for rooms with a high level of outside noise — options with improved sound insulation characteristics.

For large structures it is also important to consider the weight of the sashes and the load on the roller mechanism. This determines how smoothly and easily the system operates.

A professional on-site measurement is required before sliding windows are manufactured. It determines the exact dimensions of the structure, the number of sections, the way they move and the optimal parameters of the profile, glazing unit and hardware.
