The design life of a Thermosash unitised curtainwall façade system, if maintained according to our Operations and Maintenance Schedule, should well exceed 50+ years.
However, should the system need to be removed earlier in its design life we are able to facilitate this. As an example, Thermosash upcycled a curtainwall facade from a post 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, structurally damaged, building. The BNZ Harbour Quay building facade (Thermosash completed in 2009) was removed and re-installed on the Wellington Children’s Hospital, and also on our manufacturing facility in Levin.
Thermosash gifted and installed the upcylced PW1000 Unitised curtainwall on the Wellington Regional Children's Hospital which was completed in 2022.
