Shadegrate™ and Shadetread™
Product Description
Where traditionally the specification of 'webforge' or 'webgrate' systems are proposed, we offer locally manufactured architectural solutions:
Thermosash Shadetread™ - is an engineered open grate aluminium flooring system, originally designed as a maintenance and light weight trafficable access floor. Other practical uses include platforms to the exterior façade allowing a safe access system for cleaning - doubling as an effective shading device. This product has been predominantly specified into our Thermosash twin-wall curtainwall systems, allowing safe light weight access through the cavity zone, whilst allowing maximum convective air flow in these passive ventilated building designs.
Thermosash Shadegrate™ - is a versatile aluminium shading element engineered as a non-trafficable screen that can vary in grid pattern to suit your project's needs (within the constraints of the tooling). It can be installed vertically or horizontally to provide very effective shading to the exterior of the building, whilst enabling a good degree of direct visual sightline. It can also be incorporated into code compliant architectural balcony balustrades.
Engineering and Integration into facade
Thermosash developed these webbed aluminium screen systems to smoothly integrate into our façade suites. The systems are specifically engineered and constructed from the most appropriately sized sections to meet project performance needs and site-specific requirements, including the ability to powdercoat or anodise to suit the project's durability needs.
Low-Carbon Aluminium
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.
