What makes them easier to break into?
Usually, you have 2 locking tabs + at least 1 less secure partially open security tab.
If someone wants to basically break through all 3 security mechanisms they might as well of just smashed the window. Not to mention most people have an alarm system.
We put a number of slider windows in when we recently replaced all but 2 of the windows and didn't see much of an issue with it but now you have me second guessing our decision.... the R value part I did not know about.
