Product Description

The added advantage of a Thermosash louvre system is you design it - Thermosash engineers it! Our in-house engineers deliver bespoke solutions while maintaining architectural aesthetic intent. With our local manufacturing in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch we have the capabilities to cover projects across New Zealand.

Blades: The blades can be custom clad with almost any durable material. Sizes range from 90mm up to 1200mm - all able to be integrated into our façade suites without the need for additional structure by other trades. The blade systems can be fixed or actuated via integrated BMS functions offering a high-quality external building shade system that can lower the heat gain on your building and add aesthetic value.

Section Sizes

Low-Carbon Aluminium

Thermosash partners with a local NZ-owned extruder achieving a lower carbon footprint than the global average - offering reduced upfront carbon emissions. (find out more about our Sustainable Aluminium).

Aluminium is 100% recyclable, and the aluminium from our manufacturing process that is not powdercoated is environmentally managed back to our key suppliers and processed back into raw billet form.

Maximum Spanning Ability

Thermosash specifically engineers the best suite option for your project taking into consideration span, structural system, and environmental loads (e.g. wind). The spanning ability will vary depending on the above. Thermosash Suites are recognized as having the largest spanning systems on the market due to our specific engineering capability and the customised nature of the work we complete.

Warranty

The standard warranty is 10 years from the date of practical completion. This covers workmanship and weather tightness, providing the subcontract includes fabrication, installation and glazing of all components, and the maintenance schedule is adhered to.

Maintenance

Maintaining glass, metals and stone are all particular to the environment that they are placed in e.g. marine, environmental pollution, exposure to natural washing, etc.

It is recommended by almost all material suppliers that building washing should occur every 3-6 months to prevent staining to glass and prevent environmental pollutants from corroding metals and to maintain the material warranties.

A full maintenance manual is provided on completion of a project for all the elements integrated within a project. Compliance to a maintenance schedule is essential to maintaining the quality of the installed product over time. Using Thermosash-approved facade maintenance contractor/personnel ensures the highest standards are met.
