To give an answer I got to know what ur doing. You can have a very thin  
frame however you will have to sacrafice atleast 1/4inch of the glass all  
way round to have a secure window. Glass is made sturdy by rubber on  
frame.  
 
Now if you mean it needs to be a dual payne ? Take the window to a glass  
shop that makes insulated windows or energy efficent they call them. They  
will needs whats called an overall measurement which is the thickness the  
glass should be for the frame/setting. They will make you the unit w/  
whatever glass you choose for the other side.  
 
Best to call a glass company/glazier for the best outcome on whatever ur  
customizing. Carpenter or framer will not deliver what you want.
