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.

Thermosah Solveil^TM solar shading product range is custom engineered to your specific project requirements for vertical, horizontal or angled solar and aesthetic elements, and can be integrated externally to our curtainwall and window suites. With our local manufacturing in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch we have the capabilities to cover projects across New Zealand and abroad.

Profiles

Our large variety of profiles provide design freedom
Standard sizes (width) range from 40mm up to 1200mm
Custom profiles can be engineered to meet your bespoke design requirements
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

Prefabricated

Our profiles are prefabricated and can be unitised to streamline production - saving on programme timeframes and mitigating follow-on trade risk.

Solveil^TM Support System

Thermosash provides a discreet engineered secondary support system to mount the Solveil^TM solar elements to the building facade to suit project and site requirements.

Integration

Thermosash Solveil^TM elements can also be seamlessly integrated with Thermosash suites without the need for additional trades. Our integration does not penetrate the facade wet zone ensuring a weathertight system. Our systems include:

Thermosash Delta Commercial windows - Masterspec 4521TS Commercial Windows

Thermosash Unitised Curtainwall Suites - Masterspec 4211TS Curtainwalling

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. For more information view our Sustainability Facade Tools page.

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.
