MI 1650 slider replacement windows are the horizontal slider from the same MI vinyl series as the 1650 double-hung, so a house can mix double-hungs in the bedrooms and sliders in the basement or over the kitchen sink on one order in one color. JMB Builders measures each opening, orders through ABC Supply and installs across the Twin Cities metro. Priced per window. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per window, slider included
- Same series, color and grilles as the 1650 double-hung
- Two-lite or three-lite slider
People search for an MI 1650 slider because they have 1650 double-hungs on a quote and want the wide openings to match. Strictly, the 1650 is MI's double-hung. The slider in the same series is MI's horizontal slider, and that is what we order: same vinyl, same color list, same grille profiles, so the frames read alike from the street.
Sliders go where a double-hung does not fit: basement openings that are wider than tall, the window over the kitchen sink that nobody can reach to lift, a rambler's long living-room openings. Two-lite sliders have one fixed and one moving sash, or both moving. Three-lite sliders put a fixed center with two end vents. Both sashes lift out from inside for cleaning. Glass is Low-E argon, with triple-pane available on the slider, and half screens cover the operating sash.
Like the 1650, the slider comes as a pocket unit sized to your existing frame or with a nailing fin when the wall is open. We measure every opening, write insert or full frame on each line, order through ABC Supply, our supplier, and install. We are the installer; options such as MI, Silver Line and ProVia all go through the same measure and order.

- The MI slider, ordered through ABC Supply on the same order as your 1650 double-hungs
- Removal of the old window and haul-away
- Insert install with sill adapter, or full-frame install with sill pan and flashing tape

How it is priced: per window
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Slider width and whether it is two-lite or three-lite
- Insert into the existing frame vs. full frame with a nailing fin
- Color and interior finish beyond standard white
- Triple-pane option on the slider
- Grilles between the glass and screen type
- Basement sliders set in block or concrete that need a buck or new trim
- Rot at the sill found when the old window comes out
Send a photo of each slider opening and one of a 1650 double-hung on the same order so we can confirm the two frames will match in color and grille.
How long it takes
Lead time depends on the order and is written on the quote. Sliders install at about the same pace as double-hungs, several per day once the windows are here.

Situations and options
Two-lite slider
One fixed sash and one that slides, or both sliding. The usual pick for basement and kitchen openings up to a moderate width. Tell us which side should move so the screen lands where you want it.
Three-lite slider
A fixed center lite with a sliding sash at each end. For a long rambler living-room opening it gives a clear center view and ventilation at both sides, and the frame still matches the double-hungs.
Basement slider in a block wall
Old steel or aluminum basement sliders in block come out, the buck is checked or rebuilt, and the MI slider goes in with a sill pan. If the room is a bedroom we check egress size before ordering.
MI 1650 Slider Replacement Windows: questions, answered
Is there an MI 1650 slider?
The 1650 is MI's double-hung. The slider that matches it is MI's horizontal slider from the same vinyl series, in the same colors and grille profiles. That is the window we order when a house of 1650 double-hungs needs a slider, and the two sit side by side on one order.
Will an MI slider match MI 1650 double-hungs?
Yes. They come from the same series, so the vinyl color, the grille profile and the glass are the same. Frame widths are close but not identical, because a slider has a different sash. We put the two next to each other on the quote so you know what to expect.
Which side of a slider window should open?
Either sash can be the moving one, or both can move. Most owners put the operating sash where it is easiest to reach, such as the side nearest the counter or the stairs. The half screen sits over the sash that moves.
Can an MI slider go in a basement bedroom?
If the opening meets the egress size the building code sets for a sleeping room. A slider only opens half its width, so the clear opening is smaller than the frame. We check the numbers at the measure and tell you if the opening has to be enlarged.
Can the slider come in triple-pane like the 1650?
MI offers a triple-pane glass option on its sliders. Owners often order it on below-grade and north-side openings. Dual-pane and triple-pane units can be on the same order.
Do you supply the MI slider or do I buy it?
We supply it. The slider is ordered through ABC Supply to the sizes from our measure and is a line on your quote. If you already bought MI windows, we install those labor only.
