Vertical Glazing PS1

Vertical Glazing

Important notes prior to submitting your PS1 request:

• Christmas Holiday Period - Metro Performance Glass will be closing for the 2024/25 Summer holiday period, from 21st December 2024 to 12th January 2025. PS1 requests can still be submitted during this period and will be processed and actioned as soon as we have returned to work. Wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday period.

• 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 3-6 weeks 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"
