installing contol room windows

what's the proper way to intall a control room window, as in gaskets, no gaskets, caulking, what kind etd. also does anyone install windows that can be removed later if there are any cleaning issues or condensation conserns or do you just caluk both windows in and hope for the best. also some people install sillicut granuals for moisture preventing, any comment on that? thanks

Jeff - here's a sketchup file showing how to build a window. The silica crystals are only required when the window is in a single wall frame where the air inside is trapped between the glass panes and is thus prone to fogging up due to heat discrepancies.. just click through the pages. cheers john

john, thanks for responding. do you have any other type of file besides .skp format, like pdf or tif. good information about the sillica. my walls are double with 1/2" air space so i won't worry about that.

Jeff - you can download the google sketchup program for free from google and open the file. it's in 3D. btw - could you please comply with forum rules and state your location. cheers john

hey john, thanks for your information on the window stuff. i finally got the sketch up program going, really neat. theres nothing like a 3d picture to explain stuff. thanks again, very heipful

This is brilliant! thanks for sharing your design....

should there really only be rubber on the lower edge of the window? or on all sides? thanks...

the rubber is all around to seal. butyl rubber or similar, caulk or putty/glazing compound depending on how you prefer to finish.

Great, thanks
