Glass Floor PS1

Specific Design Glass Floor

Important notes prior to request:

  • From mid November 2024 specific design PS1 documents will be subject to a compliance document fee at the time they are completed/issued. 

  • This compliance document fee can be credited/discounted against the associated glass order for the project, by including the unique PS1 reference number at the time the glass is ordered.  

  • If you have any questions about the compliance document fees, please email technical@metroglass.co.nz 

  • It may take up to 5 working days for our team to review your Specific Design PS1 request. After the review is done, all the required details have been received and the compliance document quote has been accepted, the PS1 document will take a further 15-20 working days to complete.

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.

NOTE: roof panels (forming the weathertight boundary) are not regarded as glass floors, even if they are horizontal – please use the sloped glazing RFI.
