Description

Metro Series sliding windows use the sliding door system (updated in 2026 to support Specific Design and EM7 applications), but have smaller sliding panel rails, interlocker stiles and mullions.

Wide formats are possible with a maximum of six panels — two stacking towards one jamb and two stacking the other way.

For best overall performance, pair with The AGP System® with Solux-E® or Solux Ultra® low-e glass.
