Help finding replacement window, Please Help!

#1 Post by 20ampbreaker »

Hi, Does anyone know of a window manufactuer that can make a Vinyl Slider type replacement 12 1/2" Height X 31 3/8" length?
I have looked all over the place and cannot find a company that makes a window as small as 12 1/2" high. Please Help!

THANK YOU for any information you could provide me

I don't know of any, (but that doesn't mean no one does of course).
My reason for posting is to offer an alternative in case you can't find one. It may not work for your application, but...a Hopper window can be made that size by many manufacturers and will also open for ventilation.
Good luck!

You will not be able to find a slider in this height, unless you use a mechanicly assembled window. Most replacements today at least good ones have welded corners. These windows fave a main, and sash frame, and at that size they can not fit the main frame into the welder.

I know a lot of window manufacturers are limited on minimum sizes but my company makes a fully welded slider as small as 28 x 12. And we do this using 4-point welders on the sash and frame.
