<p>Lynelle,</p>
<p>I've been looking at window options lately, myself, and both
Inline (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.inlinefiberglass.com/">http://www.inlinefiberglass.com/</a>) and Fibertec
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fibertec.com/">http://www.fibertec.com/</a>) seem to have good reputations on sites
like greenbuildingadvisor.com, for high performance windows with
fiberglass frames. Both are located in the Toronto area, so not
too far from you.</p>

some wood and some wood windows last, many do not.

I'm on the water, so have concerns about wood, given
