Specific design producer statement documents will only be provided to architectural and/or building construction drawings specifying Metro Performance Glass glazing systems. See notes "Before you Start"

The glass floor RFI is typically used for interior or exterior horizontal glass panels:

• Not forming part of the upper weathertight boundary of the building/structure.

• For applications designed to be walked on. Can be internal non-trafficable areas, or exterior decks as well.
