100 Anzac (Century On Anzac) high rise apartment building in Auckland CBD has been transformed and given a new lease on life through a total facade reclad with a Thermosash high performance facade solution. Recladding a building plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety, durability and weathertightness of a building – and can, if done right, significantly contribute to improved energy efficiency and operational costs.
The Thermosash PW1000 high performance unitised curtainwall was selected for its proven weather and airtightness as well as its adaptability for integrated elements/features such as - the integrated high performance sliding doors and Juliet balustrading, opening sashes and our first installation of our High Rise Acoustically Attenuated Passive Ventilator (named the 'Anzac Passive Ventilator').
Thermosash has worked on 100 Anzac with Kwanto, Ignite Architects, RCC Construction and Jackson HVAC Solutions. The entire remediation project is expected to be completed by January 2025.
Performance Testing - WEC (Window Engineering Consultants) did a full-scale mock-up with 12 panels and the integral parts to test performance capabilities. WEC a specialist professional organisation offering engineering advice and physical testing to international standards is an IANZ accredited laboratory and is part of the Thermosash Group of companies.
