Important Considerations

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. 

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

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

Solar control colour appearance. Metro SolarPro™ Plus has a 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. 

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. 1
