Can you use a single-hung window as a slider?

Single-hung windows cannot act as slides because they are designed differently. A single-hung window has two sashes, but only the bottom sash is movable and slides vertically while the top sash is fixed. In contrast, a sliding window operates horizontally, with one or both sashes sliding side to side on a track.

 

Single-hung windows do not support the movement of horizontal direction in their operations, in addition to frame and design orientation. Hence, it is not a likely way by which single-hung windows could be used like a slider. 

 

Attempting to transform a single hung into a sliding window may lose most of its functions and even structurally destroy it. If you require a horizontally sliding window, it's best to choose a proper sliding window designed for that purpose.
