Suitable for new residential and multi-residential windows and doors requiring high thermal performance, solar control and natural light.

SolarPro™ Light is particularly suited to:

• Energy efficient and low-carbon homes
• Passive House and high-performance building designs
• Large windows and glazed doors
• North, east and west facing elevations
• Sun-exposed living areas
• Homes in warmer or high-sunlight locations
• Rooms where overheating may be a risk
• Projects requiring solar control without a strongly tinted appearance
• Thermally efficient window systems designed to exceed minimum H1 requirements
• Buildings within NZS 3604 wind zones up to and including Extra High, subject to appropriate glass, panel size and frame selection

• SolarPro™ Light reduces solar heat gain and may reduce beneficial passive solar heating during colder periods.
• Triple glazed units require a larger glazing pocket than double-glazed units. Frame compatibility must be confirmed before specification.
• Triple glazing is approximately 30% to 50% heavier than double glazing, which affects handling, installation, hardware and structural requirements.
• Must be glazed in accordance with Metro Performance Glass glazing instructions, the frame supplier’s requirements and the current New Zealand Building Code

When specified as part of an appropriately designed and installed window or door system, SolarPro™ Light Low-E Triple Glazing complies with or can contribute to compliance with relevant provisions of the New Zealand Building Code, including:

• B1 Structure
• B2 Durability
• E2 External Moisture, as part of the complete window or door system
• F2 Hazardous Building Materials
• F4 Safety from Falling, where specifically designed for this purpose
• G7 Natural Light
• H1 Energy Efficiency
