Double-Track Sliding Window
The Double-Track Sliding Window is the most common type of sliding window, featuring two parallel tracks within the aluminum frame. It includes two movable sliding sashes that glide horizontally along the tracks.
Structure: Aluminum profile frame with two tracks, movable sashes, rollers, locks, handles, glass, and sealing strips.
Features: Simple, cost-effective, and widely used across residential and commercial spaces. A removable insect screen can be installed outside the frame if needed, although it may leave slight gaps compared to three-track designs. This type is ideal for spaces requiring basic ventilation and access.
Three-Track Sliding Window
The Three-Track Sliding Window is a practical design that adds an extra track to accommodate an insect screen. Typically, two tracks are used for the glass sashes, while the third track holds a sliding insect screen.
Structure: Aluminum frame with three tracks, two movable glass sashes, rollers, locks, handles, glass, and a sliding screen sash with sealing strips.
Features: Unlike the double-track design, the inclusion of the dedicated screen track ensures a seamless fit with minimal gaps, offering better insect-proofing. It is ideal for spaces requiring both ventilation and enhanced protection against insects.
Thermal-Break Sliding Window
The Thermal-Break Sliding Window incorporates an advanced thermal barrier within the aluminum profiles to significantly reduce heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency.
Structure: Aluminum frame with a thermal break (usually a polyamide bar), sliding sashes, rollers, locks, handles, insulated glass, and weatherproof sealing strips.
Features: Provides excellent insulation, reduces energy consumption, and ensures a more comfortable indoor environment. This type is particularly suitable for areas with extreme temperature differences or projects focused on energy efficiency.
Aluminum Sliding Window Customization Specification
Aluminum sliding windows offer stable structural performance, energy efficiency, and weather resistance. Key parameters include wind-load resistance based on frame strength, smooth sliding operation supported by high-quality rollers, and optional acoustic upgrades such as soundproof sliding window configurations. Glazing choices—ranging from single to double pane, laminated, Low-E, or impact-resistant options—affect insulation and safety performance. Additional features like multi-point locks, thermal-break profiles, and tight sealing systems further enhance air-tightness, water-tightness, and overall durability, making aluminum sliding windows suitable for diverse climates and building standards.

Structure of Sliding Windows
Aluminum sliding windows consist of several essential structural components, carefully designed for durability, performance, and flexibility. Below is a detailed breakdown of its structure:
1. Fixed Frame and Movable Sashes
Aluminum sliding windows are built with a rigid fixed frame and one or more movable sashes that glide along engineered tracks. Depending on the design requirements, the system can be configured with different track numbers, sash combinations, and frame profiles. These variations determine the window’s ventilation capacity, opening size, and structural performance.
1.1 Track & Panel Configurations:
The sliding structure can be designed as 2-track, 3-track, or extended multi-slide systems for wider openings. Sash layouts include single slider window, 2-lite slider window, 3-lite slider window, and larger configurations like the triple slider window, also known as a three sliding window or 3-way sliding window. Additional functional layouts, such as sliding window with fixed glass, sliding transom windows, exterior door with sliding window, or curved sliding window, provide more flexibility for different architectural styles.
1.2 Aluminum Profiles:
Frames and sashes are commonly extruded from 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, known for strength, stability, and corrosion resistance. Popular systems such as the 798 series sliding window and 900 series sliding window offer different frame depths, track options, and hardware compatibility for both residential and commercial applications.
1.3 Surface Treatment:
Aluminum sliding window frames can be finished in various ways to achieve the desired durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance. Common surface treatments include:
- Anodizing – Provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a clean metallic finish.
- Electrophoresis – Delivers a smooth, uniform, and durable coating.
- Powder Coating – Offers excellent weather resistance and a wide selection of colors such as black, white, bronze, and gold.
- Wood Grain Finish – Creates a realistic timber appearance for decorative applications.
- PVDF Coating – Ensures superior UV resistance and long-term durability in harsh environments.
2. Sliding Window Fittings
Sliding windows use several essential sliding window fittings to ensure smooth operation, secure locking, and proper sealing. Common components include:
Handle / Lockset – Provides secure locking and easy operation.
Rollers / Slider for Window – Ensures smooth and effortless sash movement along the track.
Weather Seals） – Improves airtightness and water resistance.
Wool Pile – Enhances sealing performance and reduces noise and vibration.
3. Glass | Pane Options
Glazing options can be selected according to insulation, safety, and aesthetic requirements. Standard choices include single pane sliding windows, double glazed sliding windows, double pane sliding windows, and tempered glass sliding window configurations. For visual customization, glass colors such as blue, green, brown, and various tinted options—commonly used in sliding patio doors with tinted glass—are also available. Low-E, laminated, and reflective coatings can be applied when higher performance is needed.
- Single Tempered Glass: Durable and economical, typically in 5mm, 6mm, or 8mm thickness.
- Laminated Glass: Provides added safety and noise reduction; common builds are 5mm+0.38mm+5mm or 6mm+0.38mm+6mm.
- Insulated Glass (IGU): Two panes separated by a spacer for improved thermal insulation, such as 5mm+12A+5mm or 6mm+12A+6mm.
- Triple Glass: A high-performance structure combining laminated and insulated layers, e.g., 5mm+9A+5mm+9A+5mm.
- Low-E Glass: Reduces heat transfer while maintaining light transmission; often used in insulated units like 5mm+16A+5mm (Low-E).
