Solar Control
Is overheating a problem?
Homes or buildings that receive a lot of sunshine can face certain challenges. Excessive sunlight can make rooms uncomfortable by creating an overheating effect, leading to higher energy bills as you spend more on cooling your home or building.
Fortunately, you can choose from Metro's solar control Low E range, that not only keeps you cool and comfortable in those hotter summer months, but during the colder months it excels at retaining warmth, keeping your home cozy.
The perfect choice for all seasons, not only enhancing year round comfort but also lowering heating and cooling costs, making it an excellent investment for your home.

How solar control technology works
Metro's solar control glass has a special coating which prevents excess heat from building up inside during summer months, plus retains warmth during winter.
