Shadegrate™ & Shadetread™

Shadetread™ - Thermosash Shadetread™ is an engineered open grate aluminium flooring system, originally designed as a maintenance and light weight trafficable access floor. Other practical uses include platforms to the exterior façade allowing a safe access system for cleaning - doubling as an effective shading device. This product has been predominantly specified into our Thermosash twin-wall curtainwall systems, allowing safe light weight access through the cavity zone, whilst allowing maximum convective air flow in these passive ventilated building designs.

Shadegrate™ - Thermosash Shadegrate™ is a versatile aluminium shading element engineered as a non-trafficable screen that can vary in grid pattern to suit your project's needs (within the constraints of the tooling). It can be installed vertically or horizontally to provide very effective shading to the exterior of the building, whilst enabling a good degree of direct visual sightline. It can also be incorporated into code compliant architectural balcony balustrades.

Where traditionally the specification of 'webforge' or 'webgrate' systems are proposed, we offer a locally manufactured architectural solution to balustrades, solar shade or light weight heavy duty aluminium access walkways.

Thermosash developed these webbed aluminium screen systems as a shading device to integrate into our façade suites. It is common knowledge that by shading the building façade from the exterior, heating loads imposed on the building fabric, and therefore the transference of heat, is greatly reduced - potentially lowering the cooling requirements of the building's mechanical plant and increasing occupant comfort. These systems have since been used extensively for screening and access floors over a wide range of building projects - old and new. The screen system is specifically engineered and constructed from the most appropriately sized sections to meet your performance needs and site-specific requirements, including being able to be powder coated or anodised to suit your project's durability needs.

Sizing:

• Panel size is limited only by Anodise bath / Powdercoating or transporting limitations - call us to discuss your project
• Can be powder coated or anodised to any available colour.
