What track options do uPVC sliding windows come in? Here's a plain guide.
The track is what the sliding panels run along, on rollers. The number of tracks determines how many panels you have and how much of the opening you can open at once — and whether mesh can be integrated on its own track.
One practical point people miss: tracks need keeping clear. Grit in a track is what makes sliders stiff over time — a quick clean now and then keeps them gliding, whichever track count you choose.
Commonly 2-track (two panels, opening half the width) and 3-track (three panels, or two glazed plus mesh on the third). More tracks need a wider frame.
Usually grit in the track. Keeping tracks clear is the main maintenance a slider needs.
2-track for standard windows; 3-track for wider openings or where you want mesh integrated on its own track.
