I'm looking for a brand and details on a removable window and removable screen to use to build a sunroom.

Your first stop should be at your local bldg. dept. to see exactly what code requirements you are going to have to meet with your sunroom. In all probabliity, you will have to have windows that have both sashes removable. (UBC says the longest wall and one adjacent wall have to be 65% open to a height of 80"). Finding those windows will be a challenge. The only ones offered at a store like Home Depot or Lowes that will work will be double hungs. The XO sliders they sell all have one fixed sash (or pane).

One source MAY be Texas Aluminum (find their web site), But I'm not sure they sell at retail.
