Single Lift‑Out Slider windows marry easy glide action with a quick‑release sash, giving Calgary homeowners airflow, energy savings, and low‑stress upkeep in one sleek package.
Instead of cranking or tilting, the active sash slides to the side along nylon rollers, then disengages and lifts into your hands. That means:
At Glarior we don’t sell windows — we specialise in precision installation and trouble‑free replacement. Every Single Lift‑Out Slider we fit is laser‑level, weather‑tight, and warrantied to work for decades.
A deep 3 ¼″ frame with multi-chambered extrusion traps air pockets for insulation. Paired with premium Black “S”-Class SuperSpacer® and 7/8″ Low-E/Argon glass, it reaches ENERGY STAR® Prairie Zone targets with room to spare.
Each hidden chamber works like a built-in storm window, slowing heat transfer when the mercury free-falls to –25 °C, yet preventing south-facing rooms from overheating under July’s high-altitude sun. The extra internal walls stiffen the long horizontal members typical of slider designs, so the frame resists bowing when Chinook winds slam into it at 100 km/h. You gain higher R-values, quieter interiors, and a frame that won’t sag or leak ten winters from now.
Nylon rollers ride on brass ball-bearing axles, delivering a quiet, fingertip glide even after Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles. A double-walled, contoured pull rail adds strength and grip.
Brass resists the calcium-chloride road salts that blow across neighbourhoods all winter, so the bearings won’t seize or squeal come spring. The self-lubricating nylon wheels shrug off prairie dust, maintaining smooth travel without annual sprays of silicone. Because the pull rail is reinforced, you can slide the sash wide open to capture evening foothills breezes without worrying about flexing, racking, or early hardware failure.
The active sash lifts completely clear of the frame, so you can clean exterior glass from indoors in minutes — no scaffolding, no juggling squeegees in –20 °C wind-chill.
Simply unlock, raise, and tilt the sash toward you; hidden pivot shoes let it disengage and lift out effortlessly. That means safer maintenance for second-storey bedrooms and tight side-yards where ladders are impractical. Because the sash can be removed entirely, you also gain a wider egress opening that meets Alberta Building Code requirements for basement suites—adding both convenience and peace of mind.
A die-cast lock teamed with a closed-back keeper reinforces the interlock rail, resisting prying and meeting forced-entry codes without bulky add-ons.
The solid-zinc alloy body offers up to triple the tensile strength of stamped steel latches and will not corrode when exposed to salty slush spray. Each throw of the cam lock also draws the sash tighter into the fixed jamb, boosting the compression seal and eliminating the micro-drafts that spike January heating bills. Low-profile styling keeps the handle out of curtain lines, preserving the slider’s clean, modern aesthetic.
The profile matches our vertical & horizontal slider family, so mixed-style renovations keep a seamless façade. Frame depth options let you align with existing wall assemblies for a flush, professional look.
Choose a 3 ¼″ retrofit frame to slip neatly into 1950s bungalow openings, or step up to 4 ⅝″ for today’s 2 × 6 walls without extra jamb extensions. Aligned sight-lines mean casements, awnings, and sliders all share the same reveal and shadow line, boosting curb appeal and resale value. With factory-applied colours cured to withstand high-UV mountain light, your exterior stays uniform and fade-free for decades.
At Glarior we install Single Lift Out Slider windows that do far more than glide sideways — they upgrade everyday comfort, trim utility costs, and boost resale value. Here’s where they:
Pop the interior sash out, polish both panes from the warmth of your living room, snap it back in — no ladders or winter slip‑ups.
Low‑force brass‑axle rollers and a recessed die‑cast latch let kids and seniors slide the window smoothly while keeping little fingers protected.
Because the sash moves sideways instead of out, patio furniture, planters, and deck railings stay put — ideal for tight Calgary infills and stacked decks.
Triple weather‑strips plus Low‑E/Argon glass block gusty Chinook winds, keeping indoor temps steady and heating bills in check.

It’s a horizontal slider with one active sash that both glides and fully lifts out of the frame, letting you clean exterior glass from indoors.
Yes — multi‑chamber frames, SuperSpacer® warm‑edge technology, and Low‑E/Argon IG units hit or exceed Prairie Zone U‑value requirements.
Unlock, slide to the release markers, tilt the top edge toward you, then lift. To reinstall, set the bottom on the track, push up, and click into place. Our techs walk you through the process on installation day.
In most cases, yes. We custom‑size each unit to your rough opening, preserving interior trim and exterior cladding whenever possible.
A typical single‑window swap is about 60–90 minutes. Whole‑home projects are usually wrapped in one to two days, weather permitting.
Vacuum the sill track twice a year, wipe weather‑strips with a damp cloth, and apply a drop of silicone‑free lubricant to the roller track annually.
You get a transferable lifetime warranty on the uPVC frame and insulated glass, plus 20 years on hardware and our own 10‑year labour guarantee.
Our Single Lift Out Sliders pair multi‑chamber uPVC with warm‑edge SuperSpacer® tech, so you enjoy modern aesthetics and industry‑leading thermal scores.
