Hey,

Looking to find someone who manufactures warehouse or loft windows.

Most of the window makers I find use the hollow aluminum tubes - warehouse windows seems to be panes of glass separated by a thin border of steel, or maybe they're a single pane of glass.

When I'm in Manila see lots of old warehouses with this style of window - but can't find someone who makes them.

This style

I had some made by the typical aluminum frames (assured they would be like the photos) but in fact they just glued some aluminum over the glass for the crossbars - VERY cheap looking.

Thanks,

Those look like the usual steel casement windows that one has custom made by those roadside steel window fabrication shops.

I once had my jalousie windows changed to something similar to that.

The trick is finding a good fabricator. Just visit the shops and look at samples of their work.

I'm not aware of a concentration of these fabrication shops. They're mostly Mom-n-Pop operations and practically every town has them. My house I was talking about was in Dasmarinas, Cavite. I found lots of options along the whole stretch of Aguinaldo Highway from Imus to Dasmarinas.

I live in Antipolo now and I see a number of them on Marcos and Sumulong Highways. Commonwealth in QC also has them.
