Advantages of Metro triple glazing

Elevate your home to the next level and delivers unmatched thermal, solar and acoustic performance.

1. Design Freedom - its exceptional performance means you can design unique window dominant spaces, that easily surpass H1 compliance for energy efficiency, resulting in spectacular living spaces without sacrificing comfort and livability.
   

2. Up to *81% higher thermal performance - meaning homes are almost impervious to even the worst winter days.

3. Up to *66% better solar control - assists in protecting you from the hottest of summer days and can help reduce the energy costs of cooling your home.

4. Higher acoustic control - the additional glass pane and gas layer in triple-glazed windows help to dampen outside noise, making them a great choice for urban homes, those near transportation hubs, or for those who just want to be able to ‘turn off’ the outside world when they’re in their home.
   

5. Safety and Security - with three panes of glass protection, making it more difficult to break through. Deterring unwanted intruders and ensuring your home is safe and secure.

6. Environmental benefits - significantly reduces the energy demand for heating and cooling your home.

7. Trusted, local supplier - unlike imported glass systems, Metro triple glazing is processed right here in New Zealand. This ensures faster turnaround times, confidence in our supply chain and quality assurance practices, and guarantees compliance with New Zealand’s safety and regulatory standards.

Triple glazing important considerations

Things to think about before deciding on your glazing units:

1. Frame compatibility
   Triple glazed units require a larger glazing pocket than double glazed units, so you’ll need to check whether your window frame and building design can accommodate this requirement. There is a nationwide network of window fabricators that are experienced in supplying window frames for triple glazing, please contact your Metro Representative and we can help connect you.

2. Weight
   Triple glazing units are heavier than double glazing units by around 30-50% this will affect handling and installation requirements and building structure/foundation requirements.

3. Thermal breakage risk
   Heat build-up in glass can lead to thermal breakage. This risk can be reduced by using heat treated glass.
   

4. Solar control colour appearance
   Metro SolarPro™ Plus has a subtle, neutral grey tone which is part of the Low E coating. The advantage of this, is that unlike other tinted glass that gets darker as the glass gets thicker, SolarPro™ Plus provides a consistent colour, even when used across different glass thicknesses, meaning your home will look great from all angles.

5. External condensation
   Dew on the outer surface is a natural occurrence, commonly seen in both high performance double glazing and triple glazing. Particularly in homes that have no eaves, are sheltered from prevailing breezes, and/or have high humidity/cold conditions overnight.
