Product Description

Solar shading assists in reducing excessive heat gain, lowers energy consumption, and enhances occupant comfort. By controlling sunlight penetration, shading systems help prevent overheating, minimize reliance on mechanical cooling, and improve indoor air quality and productivity. They also reduce glare, protect interior finishes, and contribute to sustainable building performance by cutting carbon emissions and operational costs.

Thermosash Solveil^TM solar shading elements are custom designed to meet project requirements. Our in-house engineers deliver on architectural design intent while taking into consideration structural constraints, environmental requirements and loading. With our local manufacturing in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch we have the capabilities to cover projects across New Zealand and abroad.

Blades:

The blades can be custom clad with almost any durable material.
Sizes range from 90mm up to 1200mm - all able to be integrated into our façade suites without the need for additional structure by other trades.
The blade systems can be fixed or actuated via integrated BMS functions offering a high-quality external building shade system that can lower the heat gain on your building and add aesthetic value.
The elements can be elliptical, square or rectangular in shape and installed vertically or horizontally.

Prefabricated and Unitised

Our products and elements are prefabricated and unitised which streamlines production, anticipates just-in-time site delivery and enables rapid installation - saving on programme timeframes and mitigating follow on trade risk.

Integration

Thermosash Solveil^TM elements can integrate with Thermosash suites seamlessly, below are links to window and curtainwall suites and specifications.

Maximum Spanning Ability

Thermosash specifically engineers the best suite option for your project taking into consideration span, structural system, and environmental loads (e.g. wind). The spanning ability will vary depending on the above. Thermosash Suites are recognized as having the largest spanning systems on the market due to our specific engineering capability and the customised nature of the work we complete.

Warranty

The standard warranty is 10 years from the date of practical completion. 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 e.g. 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.
