would be useful to people in the future: I got 70 bags at 5Rs/bag at a shop near vegetable market (just inside apmc gate) yeswanthpur.

Folks,
I'm planning to go for fixed windows (3'x4'6") for stairs area, basically only for light as we've plenty of other ventilation. More over, it's on a side wall so no aesthetic value.
Don't want to waste a lot on wood frames/shutters. A steel frame with grills & glass would do right? haven't ...
