Demand for metal commercial windows and doors is forecast to increase 3.7 percent per year, in line with the overall average, but slower than plastic. Builders and building owners continue to favor metal windows and doors for their strength, durability and minimal maintenance. Products with the best growth outlooks include those that are easy to operate, offer improved energy efficiency and have good aesthetics.

Not too long ago, I posted a picture on Instagram of one of the new websites we just launched for a contractor client.
