Horizontal roller impact windows, a sash that slides sideways.

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

Slide it sideways: two panels or three.

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.

Your written quote names the exact roller, its panel layout, its frame and glass, and its approval number.

Where it fits

Wide, short openings are a roller's home ground.

Good fit

  • Wide, short openings, like over a kitchen sink or a counter
  • Beside walkways and patios: the sash slides inside the frame
  • Long walls where you want a wide view with one side that opens

Think twice

  • Tall, narrow openings: a single-hung or a casement suits that shape
  • Spots where you want the full opening for air: a roller opens one panel at a time, a casement opens all of it

In customers' words

On time, cleaned up, fairly priced: what window customers noticed.

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.

What do you call windows that slide sideways?

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.

What do XO, OX and XOX mean?

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.

Horizontal roller or single-hung?

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.

Are horizontal rollers good over a kitchen sink?

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.

What keeps a roller window sliding smoothly?

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.

Can one horizontal roller cover a wide opening?

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.

How much do horizontal roller impact windows cost?

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.

Which horizontal rollers do you install?

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.
