Windows

[Hotzcatz]

Other than buying pre-made windows, if you would like an unopenable window, it is easy enough to just frame in a sheet of glass. Many glass shops will have a pile of "wrong" sized glass you can purchase from inexpensively. When fitting it into a frame, leave about an eighth to a quarter inch between the glass and the wood then caulk it in place. I put big pieces of fixed glass in a lot of blueprints since it is the cheapest way to let a lot of light into a room. If louvers are put on either side, that will let in the wind. With the big fixed glass panel, you have a clearer view without the screen to look through, too.

Right now I have a big piece of glass "rescued" from the transfer station. It used to be a door, I think. It will be a bath house window after I figure out what size to cut it to. (Glass is real easy to cut, too. Much easier than you'd think!)
