Putting a slider below another window usually calls for some additional bracing vs. the other way around (i.e. fixed below the slider). Sliders are not great support in the middle.

Do you mean a fixed or picture window over a slider?

@Windows on Washington Ltd these are not two windows. It is a single window from milgard tuscany series.

@toddinmn it looks like a picture window over a slider but is essentially a single window.

i Would contact Milgard, never seen one before.

@toddinmn The drawing are in their architectural manuals. I am awaiting their response for general pics. What I am looking in this forum is real world experience and unfiltered opinions as opposed to corporate marketing.

I have never seen or heard of that setup either. Please post back what you see and hear from Milgard please.

Confirmed that such a window actually exists ! But Milgard has practically no pictures. I just have to imagine how it may look.... Very weird..

What model is it?

Half Vent Below

Pretty sure what they are showing is a a half vent below a picture window, meaning 2 separate windows mulled together. I noticed there is no model for the multi combinations only for the singles, If you look at some of the actual pictures of the windows they clearly looked mulled together.

Awning windows are great as not only is there no meeting rail to obstruct the view but they can be left open in sloppy weather. You don't have to rush around closing them when there's a chance of rain!

Good point @wdccruise Milgard also has an option with the top as a picture window and the bottom as an awning. Awnings are the closest to picture windows with the option to open. I like them.

@nexp the awning under fixed is priced even higher than the slider under fixed.

Yes, awnings are in general more expensive than sliders. The difference would be even more if you were to use 2 awnings where 1 slider is .
