source of sealed units

I went to my local glass shop and they made me some up at a very reasonable price.

I had 4 units made, 2 off 80x50mm and 2 off 50x50mm total price was £40 which I thought was reasonable. No doubt someone here will tell me I was stung though! Go to a glass shop that also does double glazing, my shop sells conservatories.

Total thickness was something like, 35mm, although I cannot really remember.

Utterly ripped off. Why does a dollhouse need double glazing though?

Mine are 20mm total thickness - the 'spacer bar' in the middle is 12mm and the glass is 4mm for each pane. The spacer bars come in other thicknesses too.

I presume Scott's window sizes should be in cm, not mm, in which case £40 all in was *very* good price.

I think I've seen (maybe even fitted) sealed units into wood frames of

However I think I have heard of stepped sealed units - basically with one pane larger than another. so the smaller pane goes on the inside - protruding into the inside of the frame. Alternatively it may be possible to rout out the rebate to make them deeper.

ISTR a one time regular poster Matthew mark did something like this to some French windows. This link should get you started:

That must be a few years ago, weren't they called Gaul windows then ?

I buy locally form a company called 'Glass Systems' they are much cheaper by 70% than others I tried. Very quick service - but you have to pay in advance.

As to thickness they will make whatever you want ... unit thickness will depend on combination of pane spacer bar, inner & outer pane ...
