Big Green: low profile windows or curtainwall

[Christopher Sweetnam-Holmes]

I'm surprised that steel is suggested- I just assumed that they would have a
poor thermal performance. - They certainly can look nice.- Can you
elaborate?

Steel windows, if you can afford them.

Hi folks,

I'm seeking windows and window wall systems with good r-value and the
slenderest of frames (or the best compromise of the two).  Any suggestions?
