Double payned (Pain in the butt) windows in Baja
Looked high and low for a standard 60"x 80" sliding glass window with screen double sencillo( double payne) de vinyl. Buena suerte everyone tells me.
The cheapest I found was off the free road past Rosarito $400.00 and it looked used. Oh dont get me wrong there is a million places that well make
them custom make and deliver singled payned aluminum for about $250.00 US but I want double payned windows. I spent half the day combing Los Globos
and Avenida Reforma in Ensenada por Nada.
Dont even think about the homo depot those prices are nuts because I think everything comes from the US and they tack on an aditional 28% to
everything. Anyone got any Ideas?

Go onto Craigs List, San Diego.
I found two perfect used double paned windows, low e glass, vinyl windows for $100.
They were in perfect condition, presently installed in a room that faces the sun and they really block the heat from the sun
Good Luck!

Hey I can pick up a new one at the homo depot in IB for $475.00 Tax included. So dont hate because I'm trying to save a couple of dollars. What are
you doing since "Renes bar " shut down recently? Not everyone is wealthy like you!
Were you not the guy I met at "Plan-B?"

We have six 8 footers at our place. Paid around $ 280.00 each at Home base about 1990.
Drawback: we live on a golfcourse and had an outside pane broken in the stationary door. Nowhere anybody to be found to fix it. Had another outside
pane broken by a visitor. Same story. And hauling them is a major "Pane " Those
suckers are heavy.

Why a slider? There are plenty of dual payne frnch doors available in the size you want.

French doors VS sliding doors.....
I have cheap wood inswing french doors in my Norte Calif. Casa master bedroom...And they are the best for the local.. [dual pane, also].
Dual swing doors, "french" in swing or out swing do just that.. They swing into something. Can and are a pain in the ass for some spots. Out swing
leaves one with out screen doors. If you have the room for the un-used swing space area, French are sweet.. But costly $$.
Sliders are cheap and do not create a space issue.

French Doors are great until the weather warms up. Then, you gotta put deoderant on the hinges. 
Oh well..I thought that was really funny.

Agreed French doors look better and function better and... are less expensive, yes less expensive made of vinyl.
The rub is buying those invisable screens at $150.00 a pop. Once you've installed the screens sure enough someone who is old feeble, blind or just
plain drunk walks right through one then it's back to the homo depot for another one.
Yes the homo depot where men bond with tools!

$325.00. dollars... ????

any screen guy in the usa can easily make screens
to fit out-swing french doors
we had them made
under $100 each
the problem with out-swing french doors is WIND!!!
you can't open the doors in the wind
or they can get ripped off the "deodorized" hinges
