The 345m2 Pool House was built to accommodate a private indoor pool with a gym, sauna and facilities. Designed by Yoke Architects to harmonise with existing buildings and fit into the landscape as a stand-alone structure.

The window and door joinery and extrusions for this project are suites by Schüco, a German company based in Bielefeld that develops cutting-edge high performance solutions for windows, doors and facades. Thermosash is the exclusive New Zealand Schüco partner offering locally backed, in-house engineering, manufacturing and installation, ensuring you get not only a quality product but a continuation of our quality service.

On the north-facing side of The Pool House where the pool is situated, Thermosash installed a thermally insulated Panorama Design sliding system offering maximum transparency and light penetration, connecting the space to the outside visually as well as functionally. The large Schüco ASE 67 slider comprises of 8 sliding panels 3265mm high x 2350mm wide with 46mm triple glazing and weighing 490kg each.

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.
