Single pane
Clear
A straightforward clear-glass option when a neutral appearance and view are priorities.
CWS glass options
Compare clear, tinted, insulated and Low-E glass.
CWS side-sliding porch windows can be configured around appearance, ventilation and glass performance, with fixed lower panels where the porch design requires them.
Slider configuration
One fixed side, one operable side and a screen.
The documented CWS units use one fixed sash and one operable sash. The screen is positioned on the operable side so the opening can provide ventilation when the glass is moved.
Five documented choices

Safety glazing
Tempered and non-tempered glass serve different openings.
Tempered glass is heat-treated safety glass designed to break into smaller pieces. It is commonly required in hazardous locations such as certain openings near doors, floors or walking surfaces. Non-tempered glass may be appropriate where safety-glazing rules do not require tempered glass. Best Screens confirms the applicable glass requirement during project planning.
