| installing studio glass
Thinking about installing my window from my control room into my garage, which is being transformed into my live room as I type this.
I got a quote on a 4ft x 4ft "insulated" glass (they told me its what i needed and 2 pieces of it) at $350 without installation.
From doing a minimal amount of research i've discovered I need to have an air gap between the 2 panels of glass and that one of them needs to be at a 45 degree angle.
Would it be easiest to build the frame around the glass itself and install the complete wood/glass piece into the wall?
OR
Do you build the frame on the wall itself and fit the glass into that?
Someone mentioned in another post that the area around the glass should be filled with 703.
Is that behind the frame between the sheetrock?
I have some really handy family members (electricians/ commercial ac installers/construction ppl) so I just need to tell them what to do, give them the materials, and they actually do it.
If someone can break this down for me, i'd appreciate it!
Thank you,
Clifton
