One sash glides along a track while the other stays put, so nothing swings out or lifts. Rollers suit wide, short openings and spots over a counter. Each window goes on a written quote with its Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade approval (NOA) number, and our own crew installs it.

Slide it open
Pick two or three panels, then drag the slider: the sash rides along its track, and the view from above shows it passing the fixed glass.
Two panels. One sash slides and the other is fixed. X marks the one that moves.

Where it fits
In customers' words
No review on our listings names horizontal rollers. These window customers describe what every window job shares: the quote, the crew and the cleanup.
They did a great job for a great price. They provided us with high quality windows and slider doors. Their installers did a great job and made sure the area was thoroughly cleaned when they were finished.
Andrew and his team were very nice and respectful of our home. They were always on time and made sure everything around them was well taken care of.
Access Doors & Windows just completed my installation of new windows and sliding door, the entire project went perfectly.

A horizontal roller, also called a horizontal sliding window or a slider window. One sash rolls along a track at the sill while the other stays fixed. CWS calls its version the Hurricane Guard Sliding Window, and ES Windows describes its ES-EL200 as a “horizontal roller sliding window.” Same window, different names.
They describe the panels as seen from outside: X is a sash that slides and O is a fixed one. XO means the left panel slides, OX the right one, and XOX is three panels with both ends sliding toward a fixed middle. ES Windows lists all three for its ES-EL200. Try both layouts in the slider above.
Go by the shape of the opening. A roller suits openings wider than they are tall, and you slide it sideways instead of lifting it. A single-hung suits taller, narrower openings. Both stay inside the frame when open, so neither swings into a walkway or the room. One house can have both; we go opening by opening.
They're a common pick there: you slide the sash sideways at counter height instead of lifting it across a deep counter, and nothing swings out into the yard. A casement, opened with a crank, is the other usual option over a sink. We look at the sink wall with you at the free in-home measure.
The rollers under the sash. CWS lists “smooth glide brass and stainless rollers” on its sliding window, and ES Windows lists needle-bearing rollers on its ES-EL200. Keeping the sill track clear of sand and debris helps any roller glide. If one ever starts to drag, call the office that installed it.
Rollers come in two-panel and three-panel layouts, and three panels let one window span a wider opening. Each product is approved at specific sizes, so the exact limit depends on the model. We measure your opening at the free in-home visit and quote a roller approved for that size.
We don't publish prices: a roller is priced by its width and height, two or three panels, frame and glass, and by the rest of the job. The in-home measure is free. Your written quote lists each window with its manufacturer and approval number, which makes comparing quotes simple.
Rollers from CWS (the Hurricane Guard sliding window, in vinyl or aluminum) and ES Windows (such as the ES-EL200 and ES-SW340). We're an authorized installer for both. The quote names your exact product and its approval number.
