Low-Carbon Aluminium and glass
Specify DecarbALTM aluminium for a low-carbon footprint that significantly outperforms readily available alternatives. Thermosash has access to suppliers of low carbon high performance glazing for an integrated solution.
Maximum Span
The spanning ability will vary depending on the structural system and environmental loads (e.g. wind). Thermosash specifically engineers the best suite options to meet project and environmental requirements.
Performance compliance
- AS/NZS1170 (Structural Design Actions)
- NZS4223 (Glazing in Buildings)
- AS/NZS 4284:2008 (Water / Air Pressure/ Air Leakage) - IANZ accredited laboratory testing results for exceeds EM7 performance requirements
Thermal performance
Thermal modelling resulted in insulation performance R-values of:
-
- R0.42 (high-end glass IGU R1.1)
Engineering
We custom design all our suites to suit each project to maximise the efficiencies within the suite and often to incorporate added elements or unique building structures, building movements or floor heights.
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
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.
