The Wellington Regional Children's Hospital completed in early 2022, was officially handed over to the Capital & Coast District Health Board on March 31 by philanthropists Mark Dunajtschik and Dorothy Spotswood.

In 2009 Thermosash did the total clad for The BNZ Harbour Quay in Wellington. In 2016 the building was damaged in the Kaikoura earthquake, however, the facade could be re-used and some of the unitised facade was removed to be upcylced and re-installed on the new Wellington Children’s Hospital. Thermosash also installed new PW1000 UnitisedTM High Performance Curtainwall with integrated solar shading, and aluminium sheet rainscreen cladding, including on the connecting footbridge.

In keeping with the child friendly design of the building the frit pattern on the Keramo Glass in the unitised curtainwall panels includes small images specifically to amuse children, and the fins are brightly coloured Vanceva glass.

  • PW1000 Unitised Curtainwall with integrated solarshading
  • Decorative coloured Vanceva Glass fins
  • Aluminium flatsheet rainscreen

We believe that with a Thermosash solution we can offer increased value in terms of ongoing trust, performance, durability and longevity of product lifespan. Our unitised suites also provide the advantage of enclosing buildings rapidly, reducing onsite progamme time.

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.
