Suitable for new residential and multi-residential windows and doors requiring high thermal performance and Metro’s strongest triple glazing solar control.

SolarPro™ Plus is particularly suited to:

• Energy efficient and low carbon homes
• Large windows and glazed doors
• North-, east- and west-facing elevations
• Buildings in warmer or highly sun-exposed locations
• Rooms where overheating or glare may be a significant risk
• Projects requiring a grey architectural appearance
• Applications where increased daytime privacy is preferred
• Homes with a high window-to-wall ratio
• 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™ Plus has a visible grey appearance and lower visible light transmission than Therma Light™ and SolarPro™ Light.
• The glass colour and daylight levels should be reviewed as part of the complete façade and interior design.
• The same glass should generally be used across adjacent windows and doors to maintain visual consistency.
• 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™ Plus 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
