Customization Options
The E2T series supports full customization across four dimensions: frame color, track layout, glass type, and window configuration. Each option can be combined to match specific project requirements.
Color Finishes

Color Options for E2T Aluminum Sliding Windows
DERCHI provides two color categories for the E2T series insulated aluminum sliding windows. Buyers can match frame color to building exterior or interior design without affecting window performance.
PVDF Coating Finishes
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) coating resists UV exposure, salt corrosion, and fading. This finish is tested for long-term use in coastal and high-temperature climates. Two options are available:
Retro Green – A muted, deep green tone.
Mint Gold – A light champagne shade with a green undertone.
Stock Color Finishes
Stock colors cover three surface types: wood grain, solid, and stone texture. These options are ready for faster production and shipment.
Wood Grain – Huanghua Pear (light brown), Black Walnut (dark reddish-brown).
Solid – Pearl White, Black Skin (matte black), Deep Sea Blue, Deep Coffee, Caramel Coffee.
Stone & Metal Texture – Quartz Gray, Black Crystal Stone, Starry Sky Black.
How to Choose
All color finishes are applied to the same insulated aluminum frame. Sliding window insulation performance and structural rating remain the same across all options. Select based on building style, local climate exposure, and maintenance preference.
Opening Way Options

Track Configuration for E2T Aluminum Sliding Windows
The E2T series offers two track layouts. The track count controls how many panels fit the frame and how much of the opening can be cleared for ventilation.
Two-Track System
A two-track frame holds two panels on parallel rails. One panel slides horizontally behind the other. This layout opens up to 50% of the total window area. It is the standard configuration for most residential and light commercial projects.
Three-Track System
A three-track frame holds three panels. Two panels can slide at the same time, creating a wider clear opening. This setup is designed for larger wall openings where greater airflow or unobstructed views are required.
Selection Guide
Both track systems use the same insulated aluminum frame. Sliding window insulation, impact rating, and hardware remain consistent across configurations. Choose based on two factors:
Opening width – Two-track fits standard openings. Three-track suits wider spans.
Ventilation need – Three-track provides a larger operable area than two-track.
Measure the rough opening before ordering. DERCHI technical support can confirm which track layout matches your dimensions and local building code requirements.
Glass Options

Glass Configuration for E2T Aluminum Sliding Windows
The E2T series offers seven glass types across three categories. Each type addresses a specific performance need. Multiple glass types can be combined in one unit to meet local building codes and project specifications.
Energy and Light Control
Low-E Glass – A metallic oxide coating on the glass surface reflects infrared radiation. This reduces heat transfer through the window, lowering cooling and heating loads.
Reflective Glass – A coated surface reflects solar radiation and limits visibility from the outside during daylight hours.
Tinted Glass – Metal oxides are added during glass production to reduce glare. Available tones include gray, green, and bronze.
Insulation Structure
Insulated Double Glass – Two panes separated by a sealed air or argon gas gap. This is the baseline configuration for sliding window insulation and sound reduction.
Insulated Triple Glass – Three panes form two sealed gaps. This structure provides higher thermal resistance, suited for cold-climate zones or noise-sensitive installations.
Safety and Impact Protection
Tempered Glass – Heated and rapidly cooled to increase impact strength. When broken, it separates into small granular pieces rather than sharp fragments.
Laminated Glass – A PVB or SGP interlayer bonds two or more panes together. Glass fragments remain attached to the interlayer after breakage. This construction is required for hurricane impact sliding window ratings.
Bullet-proof Glass – A multi-layer laminated assembly designed for ballistic resistance. This option applies to high-security installations only.
Style Options

Custom Configurations for E2T Aluminum Sliding Windows
DERCHI offers 12 frame configurations for the E2T series. Each layout is engineered to fit a specific wall opening shape. All configurations use the same insulated aluminum frame and support the full range of glass and color options.
Standard Sliding (C1–C2)
C1 – 2-Panel Sliding – Two panels on parallel tracks. One panel slides behind the other. This is the standard layout for residential aluminum sliding windows in bedrooms, kitchens, and balconies.
C2 – 4-Panel Sliding – Four panels across a wider frame. Panels can be set as fixed or operable based on project needs. Suited for wide openings in living areas or commercial spaces.
Fixed Panel Combinations (C3–C5, C7)
Fixed glass sections are added above or below the sliding panels to extend the glazing area.
C3 / C4 – Sliding panels with a fixed bottom section. Used in floor-to-ceiling designs where the lower panel acts as a barrier.
C5 / C7 – Sliding panels with a top transom and fixed bottom panel. This layout fits tall wall openings and allows daylight to reach deeper into the room.
Geometric and Custom Shapes (C6, C8–C12)

6 Features That Protect Your Home
DERCHI has manufactured and installed the E2T Series aluminum sliding windows across coastal and hurricane-zone projects. Each feature below addresses a documented failure point in standard sliding windows — water intrusion, heat loss, wind damage, forced entry, seal aging, and drain backflow. The following data comes from DERCHI's product testing and field installation records.

1.8 mm Thermal Break Frame
The E2T uses 1.8 mm aluminum walls — 30%–50% above industry baseline. Argon-filled double-pane tempered glass reduces heat transfer by about 34%. A thermal break strip blocks conduction through the frame. This structure meets energy efficient sliding windows standards. 10-year warranty covers frame, glass, and hardware.

Step-Down Dual Track Drainage
The inner rail is higher than the outer rail. Gravity pulls rainwater outward instead of letting it pool inside the frame. This stepped design protects horizontal sliding aluminium windows from wind-driven rain without depending on sealant alone. Reduces long-term mold and corrosion risk.

Anti-Typhoon Upper Roller System
The upper roller grips the top rail at multiple points, stopping the sash from swinging or derailing under storm-force wind. DERCHI developed this design from coastal installation performance data. A dampening core keeps daily operation quiet. Built to meet hurricane impact sliding window requirements.

Anti-Theft Track Block
A fixed block inside the rail stops the closed sash from being lifted out from outside. It works without locks or extra hardware. The block also limits wobble during sliding, reducing wear on seals and rollers. Tested against common forced-entry methods.

Siliconized Weatherstrip Seal
Silicone-coated pile strips resist UV, moisture, and temperature damage that causes standard seals to harden and crack. The strip contacts both sash and track, blocking rain and holding the panel firm. Maintains sliding window insulation performance across seasons without replacement.

Covered Drain Port Design
A cover plate over each drain exit lets water out but blocks wind-driven rain from reversing in. The cover also removes the whistle sound caused by air passing through open holes. Addresses two common failures in energy efficient sliding windows with one component.

How the E2T Aluminum Sliding Window Performs Across Five Key Metrics
Built with insulated aluminum frames, the E2T sliding window is tested and rated across water, air, sound, heat, and wind resistance for reliable, year-round use.
Thermal Insulation
The E2T energy efficient sliding window achieves a U-value of 2.5 W/(m²·K) through an insulated aluminum profile paired with double-pane glazing. A lower U-value means less heat transfers through each square meter of window per degree of temperature difference. Rated at Grade 5, this configuration suits most temperate and subtropical regions without requiring triple glazing, helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round.
Wind Pressure Resistance
The E2T hurricane impact sliding window withstands 5,000 pascals of pressure without frame deformation, glass failure, or hardware damage. Rated at Grade 9, the highest classification under standard wind load testing, this performance level applies to coastal buildings, high-rise installations, and areas exposed to typhoons or hurricanes. The reinforced aluminum frame and multi-point locking system contribute to this structural strength.
Water Resistance
This aluminum sliding window prevents rainwater intrusion at wind pressures up to 450 pascals. The seal system around the sash and frame directs water outward through drainage channels. In practice, the window keeps interiors dry during storms with moderate to strong wind-driven rain. Rated at Grade 4, it meets the needs of most residential and light commercial buildings in rainy climates.
Air Tightness
Air leakage through this sliding window insulation is limited to 4.5 cubic meters per meter of joint length per hour. Tight seals along the rails and meeting stiles reduce drafts in all seasons. In winter, less cold air enters. In summer, conditioned air stays inside longer. Rated at Grade 6, this directly lowers the load on HVAC systems and supports reduced energy bills over time.
Sound Insulation
The E2T horizontal sliding aluminium window reduces noise passing through it by 30 decibels. This cuts common neighborhood sounds — such as conversations, barking, and light traffic — by roughly half their perceived volume. Homes in standard residential zones benefit most. Properties near airports or highways may need additional acoustic glass upgrades. This performance is classified as Grade 3.
Where to Use E2T Aluminum Sliding Windows
The E2T aluminum sliding windows serve both residential and commercial buildings. Each application below addresses specific structural, climate, and usage demands with proven solutions.

Apartment
The E2T aluminum sliding windows use a horizontal sliding mechanism that requires zero swing clearance. This makes them practical for rooms under 20 square meters. The sealed insulation layer reduces noise transmission between units. Energy efficient sliding windows help maintain stable indoor temperatures without overworking HVAC systems. Impact-rated glazing adds a layer of forced-entry resistance on ground and upper floors.

Home Office
Productivity depends on a controlled environment. The E2T series provides sliding window insulation that limits sound transfer from streets, construction, and household activity. The thermal break in the aluminum frame prevents heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Wide glass panels allow natural light to reach desk areas. The low-profile track operates quietly during video calls and focused work sessions.

Hotel
Hotels require windows that balance guest comfort with operational cost control. The E2T horizontal sliding aluminium windows deliver thermal performance that reduces per-room energy consumption. In coastal or hurricane-prone zones, impact-rated glass meets wind-borne debris standards. The aluminum frame resists salt air corrosion. Smooth roller mechanisms reduce maintenance frequency across hundreds of guest rooms over the building lifecycle.

Office Building
Multi-story office structures benefit from the E2T system's large glass-to-frame ratio. This increases daylight penetration and reduces artificial lighting demand. Energy efficient sliding windows with insulated frames lower the overall thermal load on central HVAC systems. The aluminum construction maintains structural integrity under repeated daily use. Sealed weatherstripping blocks dust, moisture, and urban noise from entering the workspace.

Outdoor
Exposed areas such as pool enclosures, covered terraces, and balconies face wind, rain, and UV radiation. The E2T hurricane impact sliding window is tested to resist high wind pressures and airborne debris. Built-in drainage channels direct water away from the track. The aluminum frame withstands humidity without warping or corroding. These windows create a reliable seal between outdoor weather conditions and protected interior spaces.

Residential building
Townhouses, duplexes, and multi-family housing projects need consistent window performance across all units. The E2T aluminum sliding windows provide uniform thermal insulation and sound reduction. Sliding window insulation meets or exceeds local energy codes in most regions. Impact glass options satisfy building regulations in storm-rated areas. The standardized frame dimensions simplify bulk installation and reduce construction timelines for developers.

Exterior
Building envelopes demand long-term weather resistance. The E2T series features a thermal break structure that interrupts heat conduction through the aluminum frame. Factory-applied finishes resist UV fading and surface degradation for over ten years. Precision-machined seals at the frame-to-wall junction prevent air infiltration and water ingress. This protects both the interior climate and the structural integrity of surrounding wall materials.

Villa
Villas often feature open floor plans with wide openings toward landscapes or waterfront views. The E2T horizontal sliding aluminium windows accommodate panel widths that maximize unobstructed sightlines. The insulated glass unit controls solar heat gain while preserving visibility. Hurricane impact sliding window construction provides storm protection without permanent shutters. A low-friction roller system allows single-hand operation, even on oversized panels exceeding two meters in width.

Hardware Options
The E2T series uses purpose-built hardware to support energy efficient sliding windows. Each component addresses security, smooth operation, and long-term reliability in residential and commercial installations.

Hidden Side Lock
A flush-mounted lock recessed into the sash frame replaces traditional exposed handles. The toggle mechanism locks and unlocks vertically with one motion. This design eliminates protruding parts, reducing bump and snag risks for households with children or elderly residents. The clean profile complements modern horizontal sliding aluminium windows.

Anti-Sway Upper Guide Roller
This roller mounts inside the top track to hold the sash firmly against the rail. It limits front-to-back movement during high winds, which reduces noise and frame stress. The guide also prevents the sash from being lifted off the track, improving resistance to forced entry. This feature supports the structural demands of hurricane impact sliding window applications.

Heavy-Duty Tandem Lower Rollers
Dual-wheel roller assemblies bear the full sash weight, including triple-pane insulated glass used in sliding window insulation systems. The rollers use wear-resistant materials and run on a stainless steel track to minimize friction. This allows one-finger operation on large sashes. The enclosed track design protects components from dust and corrosion, extending service life.

/ Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions About E2T Aluminum Sliding Windows
Q1: What is the E2T Series aluminum sliding window?
The E2T is DERCHI's thermally broken aluminum sliding window series built for both residential and commercial use. It features 1.8mm thick 6063-T5 aluminum profiles with a thermal break strip that separates the interior and exterior frame sections, paired with 5+12A+5mm argon-filled double-pane tempered glass. This combination delivers strong sliding window insulation while meeting hurricane impact testing standards. Every unit is custom-manufactured to match exact project dimensions, glass type, color, and frame configuration.
Q2: How does the thermal break design improve sliding window insulation?
The thermal break is a non-conductive strip inserted between the interior and exterior aluminum sections of the frame. It blocks heat from transferring through the metal, which is the primary weakness of standard aluminum windows. Combined with the argon gas-filled double glazing, the E2T achieves a U-value of 2.5 W/(m²·K) — meaning less heat escapes in winter and less heat enters in summer. This structure qualifies the E2T as an energy efficient sliding window without requiring triple-pane glass in most climate zones.
Q3: Can the E2T withstand hurricane-force winds?
Yes. The E2T hurricane impact sliding window is rated at Grade 9 for wind pressure resistance, withstanding up to 5,000 pascals without frame deformation, glass failure, or hardware damage. The anti-typhoon upper roller system locks the sash to the top rail at multiple contact points, preventing derailment under storm-force wind. When paired with laminated glass (PVB or SGP interlayer), the window meets wind-borne debris impact requirements for coastal and hurricane-zone construction.
Q4: What glass options are available?
The E2T series offers seven glass types across three categories. For energy and light control: Low-E glass, reflective glass, and tinted glass (gray, green, bronze). For insulation structure: insulated double glass (standard) and insulated triple glass (for cold climates or high-noise areas). For safety and impact protection: tempered glass, laminated glass (required for hurricane impact rating), and bullet-proof glass for high-security applications. Multiple glass types can be combined in a single unit to meet local building codes.
Q5: What is the difference between the two-track and three-track system?
The two-track system holds two panels on parallel rails — one panel slides behind the other, opening up to 50% of the total window area. This is the standard layout for most residential projects. The three-track system holds three panels, allowing two to slide simultaneously for a wider clear opening. It is designed for larger wall openings where greater airflow or unobstructed views are needed. Both systems use the same insulated aluminum frame, and all performance ratings — insulation, impact resistance, and hardware — remain identical across configurations.
Q6: What color and finish options does DERCHI offer for the E2T series?
DERCHI provides two finish categories. PVDF coating finishes (Retro Green and Mint Gold) are tested for long-term UV and salt corrosion resistance in coastal and high-temperature climates. Stock color finishes cover three surface types: wood grain (Huanghua Pear, Black Walnut), solid colors (Pearl White, Black Skin, Deep Sea Blue, Deep Coffee, Caramel Coffee), and stone/metal textures (Quartz Gray, Black Crystal Stone, Starry Sky Black). All finishes are applied to the same insulated frame — sliding window insulation performance and structural rating remain unchanged regardless of color selection.
Q7: What certifications does the E2T aluminum sliding window hold?
The E2T series is certified to NFRC (USA), AS2047 (Australia), CE (Europe), SGCC (glass safety), CSA (Canada), and ISO9001 (quality management) standards. These certifications confirm compliance for use as both a hurricane impact sliding window and an energy efficient sliding window in markets across North America, Australia, and Europe. All certifications are verified through independent third-party testing.
Q8: What is the lead time and warranty for the E2T sliding windows?
Standard delivery takes 25 to 35 days from order confirmation. Every unit undergoes 100% pre-shipment inspection before leaving the factory. DERCHI provides a product warranty covering the aluminum frame, glass, and hardware. For warranty duration details and specific coverage terms, contact DERCHI directly through the inquiry form on this page.
Q9: Does the E2T sliding window come with a nailing flange for installation?
Yes. The E2T includes a nailing flange design that integrates directly with standard wood or steel stud framing. This simplifies the installation process and reduces labor time and cost compared to windows that require separate mounting brackets. The nailing flange creates a flush, sealed connection between the window frame and the wall opening.
Q10: Where can I use E2T horizontal sliding aluminium windows?
The E2T series is engineered for a wide range of applications: apartments and residential buildings where space-saving horizontal sliding operation is essential, home offices requiring sound insulation and natural light, hotels and office buildings that need consistent thermal performance across many units, villas with wide openings for panoramic views, and outdoor-exposed areas such as pool enclosures and covered terraces where hurricane impact resistance and corrosion-proof frames are critical. Custom sizing accommodates both standard residential openings and large-scale commercial wall spans.
