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 offering 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 by our blast systems that can absorb and mitigate the potential for shrapnel damage internally.

Suite design considerations can include:

  • 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 being used as a weapon
  • Anti-Contraband - Suites can be designed to eliminate contraband transfer
  • Quick replacement - Should a glass pane be broken during an event; our suite can offer a quick replacement to ensure the room is operational in the shortest amount of time
  • Interstitial Systems - options to allow 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.

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.

Thermal Performance

DeltaGuard™ can accommodate up to 41mm size IGU made up of toughed laminate. Although not thermally broken, Thermosash can offer thermal design calculations to support your project. Each project is custom engineered for the intended use, span, and building construction.

Low-carbon aluminium window system

Thermosash partners with a local NZ-owned extruder achieving a lower carbon footprint than the global average - offering reduced upfront carbon emissions. (find out more about our Sustainable Aluminium).

Thermosash manufacture all of our own façade components in New Zealand, and primarily source materials were available from the New Zealand market to reduce transport distances and emissions from freight. We recycle 100% of all our metal waste.

Warranty

Generally, 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.
