Frame Size
An example of one of the largest glazed sliding doors we have installed is located at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland measuring 4mtrs x 4mtrs. The limitation is generally with maximum transport loads and glass weight, however larger doors can be transported CKD and assembled on site where necessary.
The stile section for the over-sized sliding doors is generally 100mm and is capable of receiving double glazed units up to 24mm. Depending on the door size and other environmental factors such as wind - stiffeners may be required.

Maximum Spanning Ability
Thermosash specifically engineers the best suite option for your project taking into consideration span, structural system, and environmental loads (e.g. wind). The spanning ability will vary depending on the above.
Thermosash Suites are recognized as having the largest spanning systems on the market due to our specific engineering capability and the customised nature of the work we complete.
Warranty
The standard warranty is 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 the maintenance schedule is adhered to.
Maintenance
Maintaining glass, metals and stone are all particular to the environment that they are placed in: eg. marine, environmental pollution, exposure to natural washing, etc.
It is recommended by almost all material suppliers that building washing should occur every 3-6 months to prevent staining to glass and prevent environmental pollutants from corroding metals and to maintain the material warranties.
A full maintenance manual is provided on completion of a project for all the elements integrated within a project. Compliance to a maintenance schedule is essential to maintaining the quality of the installed product over time. Using Thermosash-approved facade maintenance contractor/personnel ensures the highest standards are met.
