Can it be installed in a window with horizontal sliding single-pane glass?

If you really wanted to, you could retrofit the window with plywood, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Not without some serious modification. They have models designed for that type of window..

it can only be held in the window by being placed on the sill of an open window and then bringing the top pane down vertically into the units support bracket which is on top of the unit.hope that answered.^_^

If you click on the link to the flash video, some of your questions are answered. It's a single hose (same as others I've looked at, like the LG's at Home Depot). I see no reason it wouldn't work in a sliding window (the video shows the bracket that comes with the unit) unless the window size and bracket are incompatible. Hose length may be on the spec sheet.

I suppose you could, but as the front element is really convex, i wouldn't. You are likely to scratch the glass.

Hi Stella, Mike here. The unit is made for traditional windows, which slide up and down. Technically, they have vertical slides, so putting it in such a window should be pretty straightforward. When mounted in such a window there are usually gaps to either side that the a/c comes equipped to cover, usually with slide-out panels. However, if you mean that the opening the window makes is vertical, in which case it actually slides horizontally, the installation could still work but might require some adaptations. If you want the window open as little as possible, I suppose you could put the unit in vertically; I'm not aware of anything inherent to the unit itself that would make it unsuitable for vertical mounting. My recollection aside, a careful read of the installation instructions is definitely called for. In a window that slides horizontally, and makes a vertical opening, you might have to provide some support for the unit on the outside because it wouldn't have the window coming down on the top to hold it in place. The friction from the window and frame might be sufficient, but I kinda doubt it. By "some support" I'm thinking of something like an exterior shelf attached to wall studs, or perhaps some large "L" shaped brackets by themselves. With a vertical opening you'll also need to plug the big hole above the unit. Heavy cardboard, fiberboard, or a really heavy duty plastic trash bag, plus some duct tape could do for that, as long as the unit is otherwise mounted securely. If you want to get fancier, and sturdier/more permanent to boot, a sheet of 1/4" exterior-rated plywood, trimmed with a self-adhesive foam gasket, and possibly held in place by some brackets screwed on to the panel, could work as well. I hope I've understood your question correctly. If not, I'd be glad to try again with some clarification from you about the configuration of the window.

yes you can.... removable is easy and put it on the window with no problem.

No. It is meant to slide into grooves. Not too difficult once the window sash is removed from the frame.

No, I think that you wouldn't be able to use this unit, with the glass door for a window. There is a hose and a fixture that is suppose to go in an actual window.

The question is not 'could' it be used, but 'should' it be used, on the inside of double paned windows. All I have read from the makers of them is NO.

I have no idea. I would call the manufacturer. It def. was designed to fit in a standard horizontal window. sorry.

We have ours installed in our sliding glass door. It is double sided taped to the edge and we use our door constantly so I would say yes.

Yes. With the way my window is set up, though, I have to remove the shelf in order to open or close the window because mine is horizontal. The shelf hooks on to the bottom pane where the window itself sits.

I used it last summer in a horizontal window (slides l/r). I used a piece of wood to hold the sliding side firm against the a/c, and a thin sheet of opaque Plexiglas over the top. A mount was installed to support from the bottom. I filled any open spaces that remained with double-sided adhesive weather stripping. The sliders are only for regular (up/down) type windows, save them for if you ever need them (my landlord changed our windows from slide to regular this summer).

Yes..but you must drill tiny holes in your sliding door frame. If you live where you do not want to do that...you could put a 2x4 in the door frame on the left, so no one could slide your glass door. I did that..because it feels even more secure.That is just my own opinion. Watch a couple of You Tube videos online that show installation process, and it will help you decide if it is what you want. Hope this helps. I love these doors. I used to have one for my dog..and now I use it so my indoor cat can go out on the porch.

I have installed mine in a 1/4 piece of plywood to insert in a sliding basement window when it is open. I haven't had any issues doing this so I would imagine that it can be customized to fit into material of any thickness.

As I recall, the film can be applied to either side of single pane window, but must be applied to the outside of a dual pane window. Applying it on the inside of a dual pane window can reflect too much heat back between the panes and cause the glass to crack.

You can install it anywhere in your screen door, however, I think that closer to the side gives it more stability. I also like having it close to the side because then I can open my sliding glass door only the width of the pet door when I don't want to have the door open all the way.

Sliding up? Easy, slide up window, put it in place and slide the window down on it. Use the foam tape they provide. Should work for windows sliding sideways too. They also included screws for more permanent placement, but I didn't bother with that. It can expand to fit your window. Takes 2 minutes to install. Hope this helps.
