I am having a 3500 sq-ft metal building constructed this year and I'm wondering what the best option is for energy efficient fixed windows, 6' x 8'. Searching for windows, I find products like http://www.fibertec.com/windows/fixed/300-series-fixed-window/ picture windows. Two of those ordered as 4x6 would provide the overall size that I want but the window mount details are clearly intended for installation in a wood framed opening. Are there similar windows or installation details that would be better suited to a framed window opening in a metal building? BTW, this building has 8" deep wall girts and 8" deep finished window openings. thanks in advance for any suggestions
