Answer This Question
A: Yes, two windows can be installed side by side to make it appear as one large window.
by|May 3, 2023
A: To install two windows side by side, we recommend applying two beads of Pittsburgh Corning Glass Block Sealant along the one window, insert a Thinline Track Spacer (item number 120610), apply two beads of sealant along the spacer and then the second window. Allow the sealant to cure for 24 hours and then apply a bead of sealant along the joint on the interior and exterior of the window.
