An improved window frame system for slidably retaining sashes in self-storing windows. The frame system comprises four channel members disposed about an opening, having tracks for receiving sashes. A plurality of filler strips are removably positioned in the tracks. The sashes are engaged in the tracks by the filler strips. By removing segments of the filler strips the sashes can be removed from the windows.
