Thermosash Thermal Break Suites

Today high performance buildings are seeking to be further energy efficient and are requiring greater thermal performance through improved suite sections. Thermosash's Thermally Broken (TB) and TI (Thermally Isolated) series offer this solution - providing not only much improved reduced transmittance of heat load and heat loss - but exceeding industry codes on air filtration which is a significant component of building heating and cooling efficiencies.

Our engineered low-carbon aluminium thermal break systems offer exceptional thermal efficiency, as well as longevity in product life span minimising maintenance costs and maximising the return on invest on the facade of the building;

It is important to note that the aluminium section alone does not provide the thermal performance often expected. Glass specification is a significant contributor to the overall mechanical performance requirement of a building. The larger the engineered performance glass pane the better performing the panel will be on average. 

With large format glass facades, Thermosash is able to reduce the energy required to operate the building over its expected life. This is achieved through the high performance of the glass which reduces heat loads, lowers reliance on high energy draw air conditioning, and minimises heat loss through the highly insulated glass and non-vision unitised façade panels, and importantly, our facades have an almost zero air leakage façade design (tested to be upwards to 10x better performing than NZ Building Standards) meaning that the air that is conditioned inside a Thermosash building will not be lost to façade air leakage and the building will be better performing and with lower operating costs for owners and tenants.

Our customers who are seeking carbon reduction or zero targets, as well as their customers and shareholders, will see the environmental as well as financial benefit of incorporating a Thermosash façade system on their buildings - mitigating the greenwashing of offsets and potential for an additional 50+ years of carbon reduced costs on their building assets that were specified with the lowest embodied carbon products of the time.

Contact us to discuss your commercial project, our team of engineers are able to review the building facade and advise around the most efficient thermal system and facade solutions.

Scope of use

A thermal break Suite is used when there is a need to reduce thermal transfer from inside to outside. Thermosash suites are often specified in areas of high condensation such as internal pool areas, or for efficient management of internal temperatures where the temperature between inside and out can vary significantly.

Features
  • Bespoke engineered solution, locally designed, manufactured and installed by Thermosash
  • Low-carbon aluminium extrusions reducing upfront carbon emissions
  • Improved U Value of suite performance (reduced heat loading internally and reduced cold transfer in colder conditions)
  • Design exceeds industry codes for minimal air leakage
  • Speed of installation with unitised facade systems
  • Integrated spandrel insulation
  • Return on investment on the facade - due to increased durability over the life of the building.
Warranty

Generally, our warranty is for 10 years from the date of practical completion for these products. This covers workmanship and weather tightness, providing the subcontract includes fabrication, installation and glazing of all components and a maintenance schedule is adhered to.

Thermosash is New Zealand’s largest commercial window, curtainwall, total clad façade designer, manufacturer and contractor - local since 1973.               

As a world class supplier of engineered façades, we provide, through constant evolution of our product range, systems that are trusted and proven.

“Our work at Thermosash is critical to the building industry. Our prefabricated design specific engineered building envelopes shape the appearance of our skylines: offering comfort to occupants from heat and cold, protection from the elements, respite from the acoustic discomfort of busy cities and pleasure to those who appreciate the built environment”. David Hayes, Group Managing Director.

Our growth since 1973 demonstrates that the strength we offer the building industry is underpinned by supplying quality, long lasting, engineered building envelope systems. Our ability to meet tight lead times and on-site programmes, our acceptance of transfer of design responsibility, our engineering, manufacturing, logistics and on-site capabilities, together with our team’s passion and quality service commitment enables us to remain at the forefront of the facade subcontracting industry.

Our Expertise
Thermosash’s abilities have grown since its 1973 start-up when Laurie Hayes and his colleagues manufactured commercial windows out of a small production facility. It quickly became apparent that the products and skills of the workforce were creating a performing quality, flexible product that the market sought.

Over time, our teams of dedicated and committed people have grown, this has been possible through constant reassessment of internal and external processes and manufacturing methods from around the world. We’ve also provided ongoing reinvestment in the training of our people to ensure lean process, IT Systems, material handling machinery and transport logistics equipment, as well as design office and factory production process improvements. We are able to offer a world class company with manufacturing facilities in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Our Offering
We offer an extensive range of cost effective, high performance rainscreen, pressure equalised window, door and façade solutions to suit any commercial project. Our products are incorporated in high-rise office blocks, apartment buildings, shopping centres, airports, institutions, hotels, industrial complexes and quality architectural homes.

In addition to offering bespoke façade solutions for new builds, we are experts in recladding, rainscreen over-cladding and the refurbishment of existing façades.
