The Advantages of the Sliding Window Protocol

Ease of Installation

• Sliding windows are simpler to install when compared with other types because there are fewer moving parts. The fewer parts there are, the fewer requirements there are for installation. This means the price of the installation is consequently less than, for example, a crank window, which has several more components, ranging from the crank mechanism to the hinge and the hydraulic arm. Sliding windows are simple in comparison.

Less Maintenance

• Because there are fewer working parts, there is naturally less maintenance over the years. There are no cranks and extender arms that need regular oiling, nor do you have to worry about rust on external hinges. Plus, with crank windows that extend outward, there is constant weathering to be concerned with, such as rain and sun damage. Since sliding windows never open up outward, merely sliding upward or sideways, there are no working parts that require maintenance.

Easier Cleaning

• Going hand in hand with lesser maintenance is the fact that since there are fewer working parts, the overall window is much easier to clean. With sliding windows you only have to worry about the frame, the sliding window tracks where the sliding portions move, and the actual glass itself. There are no hinges or cranks, so cleaning is a quick and simple routine that can be done in just a few short moments.

Ease of Use

• Another benefit of using sliding windows is that they do not require a great amount of strength to operate. There are no heavy window panes to deal with, no sticky cranks that require brawn to turn. Instead, they are designed to open quickly and easily, sliding along in their tracks so that anyone, from a child to an elderly person, can open and close them with ease.
