I have a few of the small windows installed between 16 in center studs. Put 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: http://store.yahoo.com/amhs/windows.html If you have a local mobilhome supply store, check with them to get an idea of what they are. Bob "Erin" wrote in message ... 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, -E Hi, RV windows are single pane. Aren't they?Not good for colder climate. Tony |

Tony 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. Bob |
