The sliding panel is the active panel moving in front of the stationary one when opened. The panel is pulled to the side rather than lifted as in the case of a double hung or casement version. Sliding windows of all sizes work best for openings that are wider than they are tall.

They are a great option for hard to reach areas of your home where you still need to bring in light like a basement, kitchen or bathroom. They are also excellent for ventilation making it the perfect tool to air out that steamy bathroom or get rid of the smell of burnt popcorn in the kitchen.

Because as its name implies, it opens on a track, sliding windows are a good option along a stairway or deck where you would not want to install a traditional casement window, awning windows are any window that opens outward from the home.

I have installed and lived with Anderson slider windows that look a lot like yours and that have not leaked, so it's possible to have a weather tight window. Below is the only Anderson slider window repair article I could find but it may be of some help in showing how the E-series slider window sashes are removed and replaced:.

The water damage was from before I bought the house and stripped and replaced the exterior of the house and while doing that I flashed every window on the exterior. We recently had bad wind-blown rain storms on that side of the house and there was no water leaks.

Thank you for the information. CG-4 And here is a picture of the exterior of my window. Have you looked closely at the track to make sure that the drain holes on the outside are not blocked and that the J channel around the window is not trapping water? I have on occasion found water running down a window sash, overwhelming the drain openings in the track, filling the slider track, and overflowing to the inside. Do not modify your window without Anderson's advice; but FYI in some cases I've added or enlarged drainage openings on the inner track vertical vanes.

I have checked all of that the water is draining properly out side. For some reason I could see daylight at the bottom where the two sliders meet and that is where the wind comes in. Clearly we ought never see daylight between two sliding window sashes when peering at them from inside. That sounds like a misfit, misalignment, or lost gasket.

If you can manage a sharp closeup of what you see that'd be helpful. Are the slider sashes both square in the frame? If you open a slider and then move it nearly-closed and examine the vertical opening is it uniform in width, to bottom?

Is the slider frame itself square? Measure the two diagonals carefully and compare those dimensions. I will review our files and add some photos of where to check for leak sources on Anderson sliding windows as well as other brands.
