Single sliders are more cost-effective and have slightly better air tightness. Double sliders offer better ventilation control and are easier to clean from inside. ### Are sliders less efficient than casements? Generally, casements seal tighter due to compression. However, modern high-performance sliders with quality weatherstripping still meet or exceed ENERGY STAR requirements. ### Can I get a slider window for a large opening? Yes! For openings wider than 6 feet, we recommend a 3-lite (XOX) configuration, which provides a large central view with ventilation on the sides.
