An inert gas is inside the sealed unit. You can certainly make your own double pane windows, but you'll need to buy the sealed glass from a glass shop. I remember it cost my dad like $150 to have one replaced 15 years ago. Personally, I would never make my own windows unless you really, really like the look of real wood windows. Wood windows require constant upkeep. A good vinyl or aluminum window should last just about forever with little upkeep. Brian Elfert |
