    You’ll get ice on the sides, these can’t be sufficiently hermetic.

      only time I’ve ever had ice build up on the inside of a window was when the window was end of life and the AC broke and it was -35 F

        What was the temperature inside (don’t think anybody remembers or even measures humidity)?

        It seems common sense to me that on the sides of a sliding window there’ll be very thin gaps, while with a “normal” window there is pressure between parts at all sides.

        But I can’t say I’ve seen many sliding windows in my life.
