two of them side by side and it looks like one large window. Got 'em from a
mobilhome supply store online. They are like two storm windows each having
latches facing inward, aluminum for outside and white enamel for inside. The
outside window includes a screen. They have caulking tape and screws to
match but must be ordered as separate items. This is where I bought them:

I'm looking to add light to a room.

It will cost a bit to open up the wall to reframe it for windows.

Does anyone sell windows that I can just put inbetween the studs with a
short section of 2x4 above and below to frame it in?

The studs are 14" on center.

I know they'd be small, but if I put a lot of them in, it seems like the
end result would be fine.


Thanks,

The windows I suggested are a set of two, one mounted on the outside of the
house and the other mounted on the inside wall. This gives a roughly 4 inch
space between which provides some insulation. Where I live it gets down to
zero or slightly below and I haven't had any problem. I'll agree it may not
be the ideal solution, but the OP put forth a problem that was somewhat out
of the ordinary. As the saying goes, necessity is a mother.
