• Commercial building façades
• Curtain wall systems
• Structural glass walls
• Atriums and entrance glazing
• Retail and commercial buildings
• Shopfronts and display walls
• Glass fins and tension supported façades
• Internal and external feature glazing
• Office, healthcare and education buildings

• Each system requires project specific assessment and may require specific engineering design
• Glass, fittings and supports must suit the panel dimensions, wind pressure and building movement
• The primary structure and fixing substrates must resist all transferred loads
• Holes, notches and edge processing must be completed before toughening
• Exterior systems must address drainage, weather exposure and building movement
• Systems protecting a fall require specific barrier design
• Project specific PS1 documentation may be required
• Installation must follow Metro documentation and the approved project design

When specifically designed, manufactured and installed in accordance with approved project documentation, Metro Structural Glazing, Curtain Walls and Façades can contribute to compliance with:

• B1 Structure
• B2 Durability
• E2 External Moisture
• F2 Hazardous Building Materials
• F4 Safety from Falling, where specifically designed as a barrier
• G7 Natural Light
• H1 Energy Efficiency

Compliance must be established for the complete system, including the glass, framing, fittings, fixings, supporting structure, seals and building interfaces.

• Safety glass options are manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 2208
• Laminated glass processing is undertaken with reference to AS/NZS 4667
• Insulating glass units are manufactured and tested in accordance with BS EN 1279
• Glass selection and installation are undertaken with reference to NZS 4223
• Thermal, solar, acoustic and security performance depend on the selected glass configuration
• Structural performance depends on panel size, glass make up, fixing method and design loads

Warranty & Maintenance

• Warranty coverage is subject to the applicable Metro glass, insulating glass and hardware warranty terms
• Refer to the attached Metro warranty documents for coverage and exclusions
• Maintain in accordance with the Metro glass care and maintenance guide
• Regularly inspect seals, fittings, fixings, drainage paths and perimeter interfaces
