Vinyl sliding windows, explained.

Vinyl sliding windows from Puro Windows are NFRC-certified PuroCima vinyl units built to your sizes and supplied factory-direct to builders across Washington, Oregon and California. Best for wide, short openings such as living rooms, basements and over counters.

The PuroCima horizontal slider opens sideways on a reinforced track, so wide openings stay easy to operate and nothing projects into the room or outside the wall.

Sliders are a practical choice for wide openings, basements and spaces where a swinging sash or a tall sash would be awkward. The frame is reinforced vinyl, and certified packages give U-factors from 0.27 to 0.30.

Every order uses a certified glass package that meets the Washington State Energy Code (U-factor 0.30 or lower). Factory-direct, builders typically save around 35% on the window package; plan on three and a half to four months from order to site.

Use a slider for wide, short openings or where a sash cannot swing out, such as next to a walkway or deck. Use a casement where you want the widest airflow and the tightest seal.

Between 0.27 and 0.30, depending on the certified glass package. For each order we spec a package that meets the Washington State Energy Code requirement of 0.30 or lower.

Yes. It is NFRC certified and AAMA compliant, and every unit carries its NFRC label for your inspector.
