Not really a diy question (and may be silly) but...

I'm thinking of having double glazing fitted in my bathroom, and I'm
wondering about an extractor fan that I have mounted in one of the window
panes. It really is in the best position as it is, and it would be difficult
to move it anywhere else.

Is there any way I can mount the fan in a double glazed unit?

Double glazing suppliers (as least some of them) can provide a hole
through both panes
for this purpose. They put in an edging strip like the one around the
outside edge.
I've not seen one without a fan fitted. Must look a bit weird !

One of the local Chinese chippies has such a pane with the fan missing -
I'm suprised they don't get rubbish thrown through it at night as it's just
above head height!
