Metro Series products are available from Altherm, First and Vantage manufacturers nationwide and are now found in a large proportion of new homes. Metro sliders are rated to 2.4m high in extra high wind zones. The Flushline sill is already available in other ranges from APL — mainstream residential suites, APL Architectural Series and the thermally efficient Metro ThermalHeart range.

Easy-glide rollers means that Metro sliding panels require minimum effort to open and close, and can cope easily with heavier, double glazed panels.

A square frame accentuates flush interior-to-exterior sightlines. 'Overwall' slider options are available.
