    Am currently working on a college architecture project, and am thinking of incorporating circular windows. Specifically windows with a single pane of glass, and no mullions within the circle. Don't need to be openable, though I would like as narrow a frame as possible.

    Does anyone know where I can find a supplier for these kinds of windows? Details too if possible All I can find on google are small domestic windows. Ideally, I'd like the windows to be up to a metre in diameter, though if this is not easily done, I could go smaller.

    PM me for a glazier friend of mine in Dundalk that hand makes circular windows and bespoke stained glass too.He hand crafts the stained glass panes,and its some skill to see being done by hand.

    He custom made windows for my house and front porch and they turned out amazingly well,tripple glazed incorporating bespoke stained glass too.

    Please keep the posts on-topic.

    @Blisterman: Most window companies should be able to make a circular window for you, if not they will be able to source it for you.

    We have used them on a lot of jobs over the years and the most important aspect, we have found, is to bed in the lead cill properly as weatherproofing the window from midway downwards is very important.

    Thanks.
    It's just a college project and not actually being being built, so really I'm looking for details of off the shelf components.

    Alternatively, if anyone knows what the major differences between rectangualar and circular windows in terms of detailing, that would be very useful.
