Commercial Double Glazing

Introduction 

Commercial double glazing offers projects increased acoustics or greater performance from their glass. Retrofitting of double glazed units or IGUs (insulated glass units) can significantly decrease heat gain or heat loss in a building - potentially reducing mechanical running costs associated with heating or cooling a building.

Reglazing can also be a safety requirement for buildings that have glass that does not meet current human impact and barrier loading standards or is susceptible to spontaneous breakage (often from Nickle Sulphide Inclusions).

If you are unsure about the safety of your glass - call us to arrange an inspection.

Thermosash, in conjunction with its commercial glazing subsidiaries, Woods Glass NZ Ltd (Auckland, Wellington & Christchurch) have the expertise to offer specific mechanical performance glass design solutions and have all the required access equipment to undertake your commercial glazing requirements.
