This type of window is gaining popularity more and more every year. Today, different models of sliding structures are produced that have an unequal set of functions. The only drawback of sliding plastic windows is their relatively high cost. However, the company "Empire Grand" produces products not only for wealthy customers, but also for customers with a limited budget. Standard plastic windows have a lower price, but no less worthy quality.
A feature of sliding systems is the use of special fittings that allow not to close the moving part, but to open the window towards the blind part of the window. Thus, the sliding design gives a pleasant bonus to its owners, providing the opportunity to open the window in the "window" mode or open it from the side.
Most often, sliding systems are ordered for installation in the kitchen. According to customer reviews of Empire Grand in St. Petersburg, such designs are ideal for owners of small kitchen areas. In small kitchenettes of the roads, every free corner is, therefore, the window sill in this case often acts as an additional shelf, a work surface for the housewives.

This will free from the need to constantly shift all objects from place to place, to first open the window, and then close it again.
Some systems are called oblique-sliding. Their difference lies in the arrangement of fittings designed for sliding. The mechanism is designed in such a way that during operation it is necessary to first pull the sash towards you and then to the side, but at the same time the window easily opens for ventilation. The shutter leaves the frame by a maximum of 1-1.2 cm. To leave the system in ventilation, the window handle must be turned at a right angle, and to shift the shutter, turn the handle 180 ° C.
Both sliding and ordinary plastic PVC systems are much warmer and more convenient in everyday use than wooden windows. Such structures open more smoothly and have a high level of tightness due to the presence of high-quality rubber sealant. In addition, plastic systems do not freeze and do not swell in the autumn-winter period, so using them is much more convenient and simpler.

Glazing of loggias and balconies
This is another area of activity of Empire Grand in St. Petersburg. According to reviews, it is also popular among Petersburgers. In their professional activities, company specialists use two methods of glazing. The first option is cold glazing, which involves the installation of special aluminum metal structures and balconies.

Also, on the loggias and balconies, the specialists of Empire Grand are ready to install sliding systems of any size, with any number of wings. The average balconies and loggias have a small capacity, and therefore opening a regular window wide open can cause a lot of trouble.

A sliding system in this case becomes the optimal solution.
