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 retriction and ballistic or blast control – protecting those that are in the building, behind our security façade systems.

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.

Engineering

Each system 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).

Aluminium is 100% recyclable and all aluminium from refurbished sites and from our manufacturing process is environmentally managed back to our key suppliers and processed back into raw billet form.

The Suite has multiple options that can include;

  • Impact resistant frame and glazing unit - fixed
  • Integrated / isolated automated venetian blind for anti-ligature mitigation or microbial cleaning separation.

Please Note: DeltaGuard™ is not intended for high security protection where we would recommend SÄLZER for medium to high end security, ballistic, intruder and blast protection.  Talk to us about your project so that we can supply the safest product for you.

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.
