To install in metal building, Do you have to use special windows? I read somewhere that aluminum and steel cannot touch , is that right?

    No need for special windows. We used wood windows with aluminum cladding at the exterior for this building. However, we could have installed standard aluminum windows in this building. The key is to separate the aluminum frame from any structural steel elements to avoid galvanic action. This is simply done with neoprene shims that are typically installed between the aluminum window frame and the structural opening. This creates a 1/4" to 1/2" space between the two different metals.

    I'm working with a Swiss aluminum product right now in SF. Very impressive. Thanks for sending your website link. I'm always a proponent of German engineering. Take care.
