relpacing fixed single pane windows

17 years ago

Hi,

I am hoping to get some help with replacing multiple fixed single pane windows with low-e energy efficient windows. I currently have many of the single fixed windows that range 72"x60" to 72"x48". They are currently installed in commercial looking metal frames like you see in a store front. I want to replace these with low-3 double pane windows. I dont want to use metal frames. I live in south florida so winds are a concern but these windows are located in atriums that do not face external. ( still plan to put hurricane shutters on them in case of a hurricane) I am looking to get construction ideas or details on framing these windows out in wood. Buy windows already in frames would be expensive so I would like to buy the glass and frame these myself.

Can some provide construction drawing for this of suggest.

Thanks,
