  • In this video I demonstrate how I customized and installed plexiglass windows to my shed on a super low budget! This is a great alternative to glass windows - it's very DIY friendly and a great way to add light to any outdoor space.

    I have three windows im looking yo replace on an old shed. Was planning on adding screens with a plexiglass frame thst slides or lifts to provide airflow. This will definitely give me a starting point!

    I don't know why all windows are not made with plexiglass. nonbreakable, better sound deadening, better insulating than glass. it's what is used for airplane windows

    What is the thickness of pane

  • @user-ox1og7xu5y
    @user-ox1og7xu5y 17 днів тому

    If you wanted to make those windows double paned, how would you have done it?

    • @buildsbymaz
      @buildsbymaz  16 днів тому +1

      Hmm good question. Probably do everything the same so that you have the single pane window in place, and then glue some spacers around the border and attach the 2nd pane to the spacers. Then use a trim or caulk around the edges to fill the gap along the edge between the 2 panes. That way you have a sealed layer of air between the 2 sheets of plexiglass.

    Now teach me how to get rid of these god awful metal single pane windows that are inside and outside, meaning I gotta open two windows to get air in my home. It's a 1976, and they're in dire need of replacing.

      That sounds terrible! You may need a window specialist for that one...
