In the previous video of the shipping container conversion series we framed the container and in this video I'm installed double glazed windows in the shipping container.

The next step in the container home office conversion is to install a couple of excellect double glazed upvc windows. They both have two fully opening sections with toughened glass.
They're installed into the shipping container steel window frames by crewing with self tapping steel screws through the UPVC on all four sides of the frame for a very firm fixing. I used expanding foam between the windows and the shipping container for improved insulation and weather sealing, and a little bit of silicoln to close up any gaps.
The process was quick and simple, and now my shipping container home office is bright and airy.
The double glazing will help to reduce heat in summer, and keep the shipping container home office warmer in winter.

Great work Vince. Just looking to do something similar myself. I will be learning on the job same as you but have done a garage and workshop project before so have done a bit like this. Quick tip on the window sealing (I used to make/install double glazed windows) is that the bottom cill shouldn't be siliconed at the front as that is normally part of the drainage. Silicone it on the inside/back of the cill/window but not the front. If you silicone the front it won't drain so well and will fill up then leak inside.

Another Great Video Vince! spot on job and we love that mega beefy box section frame. That will serve you well if you ever move the container to a new home (or sell it!)
