Double Glazed Sliding Windows FAQs

When you choose Rylock’s double glazed sliding windows, you’re investing in a product that combines durability, energy efficiency and modern design.

Find out more about our products and their specifications by contacting our team.

What are double glazed sliding windows?

Sliding windows operate horizontally along a track, making them a practical, space-saving solution for residential homes. This type of window enhances natural light and ventilation while improving energy efficiency with high-performance Low-e double glazing.

Double glazed windows have two panes of glass, separated by a spacer and sealed to create an insulating layer.

The benefits of double glazed sliding glass windows from Rylock include:

  • Energy efficiency through better insulation
  • Smooth operation due to precision-engineered tracks
  • Space-saving design that is ideal for tight areas
  • Improved noise reduction compared to single-glazed windows

To learn more about double glazed windows and how they can meet the needs of your home, visit our Window Solutions page.

How energy efficient are double glazed sliding windows?

Double glazed sliding windows are energy-efficient, making them an excellent choice for home owners who want to reduce heating and cooling costs. The insulating layer between the panes reduces heat transfer, keeping interiors warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Key features of Rylock energy efficient sliding windows include:

  • High performance, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass
  • Argon gas fill for enhanced insulation that slows down the rate of heat transfer
  • Tight dual seals on all opening sashes to reduce draughts
  • Discrete dust flap to aid cleaning and reduce unwanted built-up in the product track

Explore the energy-saving benefits of Rylock’s products in our Energy Efficiency Resource.

Are double glazed sliding windows secure?

Yes, Rylock’s double glazed slider windows are designed with security in mind. Robust construction and advanced locking mechanisms offer excellent protection against intruders.

Choose Rylock’s secure sliding windows for:

  • Multi-point locking systems for added strength
  • Durable, powder-coated aluminium frames
  • Grade ‘A’ Safety Glass for enhanced safety
  • Windows can be locked while open (vent locked) or when the product is fully closed

As sliding window suppliers in Australia, security, functionality and aesthetics are all important considerations.

What are the benefits of double glazed sliding windows compared to other types of windows?

Sliding windows offer advantages over other styles such as casement or awning windows because they slide horizontally rather than extending outwards. The horizontal sliding mechanism is useful in spaces where outward-opening windows would be impractical.

Sliding windows vs casement windows:

  • Space-saving design: Sliding windows are ideal for narrow walkways or patios.
  • Enhanced ventilation: Open your sliding windows partially or fully for controlled airflow.
  • Modern aesthetic: Sliding windows are a practical addition that complements contemporary architectural designs.

The benefits of sliding glass windows when compared to casement or awning windows is that they are very easy to open and close and require fewer hardware mechanisms. They also feature an extruded aluminium flyscreen.

Custom sliding windows allow you to select:

  • Frame colours and textures to match your aesthetic
  • Glass types, such as tinted or frosted, for privacy or laminated glass for UV protection

How do I maintain double glazed sliding windows?

Maintaining sliding windows ensures they remain functional and visually appealing for as long as possible. Regular care of Rylock products is straightforward and requires minimal effort.

As sliding window suppliers, we recommend you:

  1. Clean the glass with a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth
  2. Wipe down tracks to remove dust and debris for smooth operation
  3. Check and lubricate moving parts annually
  4. Inspect seals for wear and tear

For detailed slider window care instructions, refer to our Product Care guide.

Are double glazed sliding windows suitable for all climates?

Double glazed sliding windows perform well in diverse climates, from hot summers to chilly winters. Their insulating properties make them a versatile choice for anyone who wants a more comfortable home or workplace.

Choose double glazed sliding glass windows to:

  • Minimise heat gain in warm conditions
  • Prevent heat loss during colder months

Learn more about improving the comfort of your home with our Energy Efficiency Resources.

What is the installation process for double glazed sliding windows?

Rylock offers sliding window installation resources for four typical wall types to ensure your sliding windows are installed for maximum performance and longevity. For best results, we recommend you use the services of a professional builder or window installer.

Installation steps:

  1. Measure carefully to ensure your complete sliding windows fit the space
  2. Remove existing windows (if applicable).
  3. Securely fit off frames and glass panes per the Fixings Guide from governing body AGWA (Australian Glass and Window Association).
  4. Final adjustments and sealing to prevent leaks.

Our Installation Guide has been created to support professional slide window installers.

Do double glazed sliding windows reduce outside noise?

Double glazed sliding glass windows are excellent for reducing outside noise, making them ideal for homes in busy or urban areas.

The insulating layer between the glass panes acts to reduce ambient noise, giving you:

  • Quieter indoor environments
  • Enhanced privacy
  • Increased comfort in your home

See examples of our noise-reducing sliding windows in our past projects.

How much do double glazed sliding windows cost?

The cost of Rylock’s double glazed sliding windows varies depending on their size and type of glass specified. These windows represent a long-term investment in a high quality, energy-efficient product for your increased comfort

Factors affecting the cost of sliding aluminium windows:
