    I think you will need custom made three piece with fixed center and two sliders.

    Suggest you contact your local window/glass retailer to have them measure. It looks like it will be a custom job. They should be able to install it as well.

    You have a nice large window, whats the reason for changing size?

    @ cat_ky - making window bigger to a 72 wide x 60 high to go to counter.. the current is 72 wide x 48 high...
    I have checked with custom company - I’m looking for window with the blinds inside - between the panes - like I have on a patio door - this window is accross from the family room and TV and the glare makes it hard to watch tv during the day - as I do not want a blind inside the window frame since it is where I keep plants my options are either a blind between glass window or a motorized blind outside... the patio door company will not do a window..

    Windows in the kitchen at the counter level are awful, much nicer to have a small ledge/windowsill. I’ve had both and hated the former. As far as blinds between the panes- no idea, just weighing in on the window/counter point.

    Pella and Andersen have them, but I don't think you can get custom sizes. Your size is custom even if you did a double window. You could get in touch with Pella or Anderson or find out online what sizes are available and then use that for your modified design. I think the patio door is Jenn-wen and they don't do windows. Just be aware that this type of window is crazy expensive and there are pros and cons. You could get a motorized remote control exterior blind for much less.

    Will your sink be in front of this window? If so, don't put the window down to countertop. Splashes from the faucet will drive you crazy. Second, I haven't seen "internal" blinds in this type window. Doors and some standard windows, but never seen them in custom. You could put solar film to cut down on the glare if that is the primary goal. That might be better even than the internal blinds approach. A solar shade on the inside of window might work to reach your goal as well. Low profile, cuts sun glare but you can still see out and less costly approach.

    I’d recommend a Pella Large Awning. It’s essentially an operable picture window. It eliminates the vertical bar running down the center. If you want blinds or fabric shades between the glass, you want their Designer series. One thing you’ll need to discuss with Pella or your contractor (or both) is making sure the window hardware doesn’t interfere with the sink fixtures.

    I have 2 reps say that no one asks for a 'blind inside' type window here in vegas.. Jeld Wen only does the door - I have the 60 x 80 in garage and am installing the 72 x 80 in the kitchen - we love it because of the blind inside.... The window will be flush with counter and about 8 inches back from the sink / faucet and a slider similar to what we have.. some of the windows I have seen this size have frames that are very thick.. I really want the window lowered (I am only 5 feet) so I can see my fruit trees, yard and pool.. The Andersen rep said they do not have what i need in the size i want - the Pella rep is coming by tomorrow to take a look. I looked up the awning window and the spec sheet does not have the size.. option 2 is a new slider in the size and have a motorized blind / shade installed outside of the window with the control inside on the wall... finding a window is becoming such a bother due to the size..

    A quality all aluminum or fiberglass window in a custom size will be your best bet. Were it me nothing Jeldwen nor Pella would be on my list. Look for a Milgard dealer.

    You probably won't find sizing online for the Pella large awning, unless you're looking at an architect design manual. Probably the only size chart you'll see is for their awnings, which have a much smaller max size. Be sure to ask the Pella rep specifically about a LARGE awning.
