Thermosash DeltaGuard^™ Security Window System

DeltaGuard™ is a security window system developed by Thermosash for low to medium security human and physical structural impact project requirements. A specifically engineered frame and combined glass suite offering correctional facilities, youth detention, acute and forensic mental health facilities and data centre projects the peace of mind on entry or exit restriction and ballistic or blast control – protecting those that are in the building, behind our security façade systems.

Security window systems need to meet complex requirements for strength, safety, light and ventilation, easy cleaning, patient operation and staff control - consideration should be given to the type of glass, frames, fixtures and fittings that will be used in the design and manufacture of these products. The fixtures and fittings should be able to withstand targeted abuse and should not pose a threat or a risk of self-harm if damaged. 

Impact Testing - Thermosash DeltaGuard™ system has been impact tested in IANZ accredited laboratory.

Design Considerations - Thermosash takes into consideration the specific design requirements unique to each protect including:

• Anti-ligature - Suite is fixed in place but potential for ligature is minimised
• High impact resistance - Glass Design and Suite Frame are designed for containment / de-escalation areas
• Weaponry deterrent - Suites are designed to reduce the risk of being used as a weapon
• Anti-Contraband - Suites can be designed to eliminate contraband transfer
• Quick replacement - Should a glass pane be broken during an event; our suite can offer a quick replacement to ensure the room is operational in the shortest amount of time
• Interstitial blinds systems - to allow for user or a master control of blinds, anti-ligature mitigation or microbial cleaning separation. Thermosash suite covers internal and external weathertight units.
• Passive Ventilation options available.

In order to create a welcoming yet secure facility, windows can include features such as stainless-steel mesh which guard the open area offering secure ventilation, and internal sliding sashes made to open at fixed positions which can be controlled by staff.

Thermal Performance - DeltaGuard™ can accommodate different IGU sizes. Although not thermally broken, the system can reach high thermal performances if coupled with an external secondary thermally broken system adopting an IGU. Each system is custom engineered for the intended use, span, and building construction.

Low-carbon aluminium window system - Thermosash partners with a local NZ-owned extruder achieving a much lower carbon footprint than the global average - offering reduced upfront carbon emissions. Our aluminium is 100% recyclable and all aluminium from refurbished sites and from our manufacturing process is environmentally managed back to our key suppliers and processed back into raw billet form.
