Skylight & Atrium Glazing Systems

The Thermosash Alpha Glazing Suite can be used externally for canopies or internally for skylights as a sophisticated and high performance solution for all high-end skylight and sloped glazing applications. The system also offers an economical solution for factories, warehouses, hangers and grandstands.

• Lean-to skylights
• Ridge skylights
• Double pitch skylights
• Pyramid skylights
• Multi-facetted pyramids
• Hip ridge skylights
• Segmented barrel vault skylights
• Curved barrel vault skylights
• Vertical glazing

This suite is particularly versatile, incorporating specific features required for use in overhead glazing which include:

• Alpha glazing suite integrates with the Thermosash Delta Suite.
• Can be installed to a minimum slope of 5o
• Integral drainage cavities.
• Commercial glazing engagements to cope with higher wind loads.
• Condensation control (where specified).
• Thermal break.
• Ability to provide a different colour from inside to outside.
• Can accommodate all recognized glass thicknesses used in commercial glazing.
• Special splicing and connection features critical for weathering.
• Almost any type of glass can be incorporated including ceramic fritting to provide an element of solar shading corporate motif.
• The Alpha range can incorporate opening sashes or banks of louvres - BMS operated if required.
• The Alpha systems are dry glazed unless aesthetically otherwise required.
• Bars are designed to accommodate co-extruded backing gaskets to minimise long term shrinkage problems.
• Glass is retained with gaskets fitted inside and out, primarily as a weather seal, but also to cushion against vibration and potential glass breakage.

Maximum Spanning Ability

Glass size and primary structure support is your only limitation. We can source your specific glass requirements to meet your projects needs.

Thermosash specifically engineers the best suite option for your project taking into consideration span, structural system, load imposed by glass thickness, wind & snow loading. 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.
