Does any one know of companies that will sell insulated glazing units alone in the PNW?

Dayton | Posted in General Questions on

I am converting my unattached garage to a work shop, and for fun want to make the windows myself.
Looking for double pane IGU’s to purchase in PNW. Any info/advice greatly appreciated
Thanks

    I did the same thing about 40 years ago. Before Google! Check out any local glass place, which should be able to obtain any size and shape.

    Almost any lumber yard, window dealer, or glass shop can order IG units for you. Be prepared to specify overall thickness, glass thickness, tempered if needed, color of spacer bar, clear or low-e, gas fill, etc.

    Lumber yards and glass shops, that's great. Not sure why, but I just assumed it would be harder to buy them separately than that. Thanks for the info.

    Go for the glass shops not the lumber yards.
