    Bow vs. Sliding Windows: Which Ventilate Better?

    Bow vs. Sliding Windows: Which Ventilate Better?

    Bow and sliding windows are different in almost every aspect except for one thing: their potential for ventilation. Both window styles can purify your indoor air and make your interior cool and dry.

    Bow vs. Sliding Windows: Which Ventilate Better?

    Which one is better at ventilating? Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-New York Metro talks about how both bow and sliding window systems optimize the airflow within the room:

    Bow

    • Maximizing the Opening to Breathe in Drafts – Bow windows can harness the power of multiple casements. When all of their panels swing completely out, they can provide top-to-bottom, side-to-side ventilation. Since they usually occupy the largest window openings, cranking their panels open can usher in a lot of fresh drafts.

    • Admitting Breezes from Different Directions – The projecting nature of bow and bay window systems allows them to let in nice breezes from more than one direction. This is especially noticeable when you wrap a bow window around the corner of your home.

    Sliding

    • Providing Expansive Passage for Air Ingress and Egress – Wider than they’re taller, sliding windows are perfect for short but broad walls. While they can only use up to 50 percent of the opening, their expansiveness can match the ventilating ability of two casements with one sash.

    • Mixing with Fixed Windows – The beauty of using a slider for window replacement is versatility. It lends itself to window combination, especially with fixed units. If you want to double-down on picture and specialty windows, mixing them with a slider offers even more ventilation opportunities.

    Furthermore, Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro’s sliding windows come in different styles, including two that involve fixed panels. For instance, the Gliding Triple Window emulates the panel arrangement of the bay without the protrusion.
