Thermosash DeltaGuard™
Product Description
DeltaGuard™ is a security window system developed for low to medium security human and physical structural impact project requirements.
A specifically engineered frame and combined glass suite offers correctional facilities, youth detention, acute and forensic mental health facilities and data centre projects the peace of mind on entry or exit restriction and ballistic or blast control – protecting those being treated and the staff.
The DeltaGuard™ suite has undergone continual development over the last 25 years - originally developed for youth detention facilities it has been further utilised in New Zealand Government buildings, consulates, biocontainment facilities, correctional facilities and forensic and acute mental health facilities – designed to protect the users within the building, as much as the public, by having no accessible parts that can be used for weapons and self-harm, and can be engineered to absorb and mitigate the potential for shrapnel damage from ballistic or blast events.
Suite design considerations can include:
- Highly durable - made from powdercoated aluminium, meets B1, B2, E2.
- Anti-ligature - suite is fixed in place but potential for ligature is minimised.
- High impact resistance - glass design and suite frame are designed for containment / de-escalation areas.
- Weaponry deterrent - suites are designed to reduce the risk of any of the parts being used as a weapon.
- Quick glass replacement - should a glass pane be broken during an event; our suite allows for quick replacement to ensure the room is operational in the shortest amount of time.
- Interstitial systems - options for user or a master control of blinds, anti-ligature mitigation or microbial cleaning separation. Thermosash suite covers internal and external weathertight units.
- Passive ventilation options available.
- Anti-contraband - suites can be designed to eliminate contraband transfer.
Please Note: DeltaGuard™ is not intended for high security protection where we would recommend our commercial suite options:
- SÄLZER for medium to high end security, ballistic, intruder and blast protection.
- Thermosash unitised ballistic panel wall suite engineered for up to 9 kPa blast load.
It is beneficial to talk to us early so that we can advise on the safest product for your project security requirements.

Facade Optimisation and Sustainability Reports
To achieve optimised high-performance outcomes, we offer our clients the option of a Project Sustainability Analysis that covers different aspects of the full sustainability cycle. When specifying our facade systems, clients can engage us to implement one or several of our Facade Optimisation Strategies to achieve their project sustainability goals. To gain the most from our strategies, talk to us early in the design phase of your project.
