ThermalPlus™ | Insulating Glass Units
ThermalPlus™ has two or more panes of glass with a factory sealed air (or gas) gap between, and is often known as Double Glazing (DG).
A single pane of glass has very poor thermal resistance. The addition of an airgap increases the insulation value significantly by eliminating heat transfer since air is a very good insulator.
ThermalPlus™ works to insulate in both winter and summer conditions and reduce the cost of heating and cooling in buildings. The measurement of thermal performance is known as the U-Value, and this can range from 3 down to 1 W/m2k depending on the air space and glass type.
Common gases used in the sealed gap are air, argon and krypton. Air is the most common as it is cheaper and more widely available. Argon and krypton have better insulating properties than air.
ThermalPlus™ can be used in conjunction with other Woods Glass products such as Infinit E™, Keramo™ and EnduraLam™ to create increased performance metrics in solar control and safety.

ThermalPlus insulating glass units are designed to increase the thermal insulation of buildings. This is best measured using the U-Value, which is a measure of the rate of heat gain or loss through glazing due to temperature differences of the internal and external environments. ThermalPlus can be combined with other products to increase the performance of the IGU. All glass must be engineered to specific code and design, please contact Woods Glass to find out more information.

We have a proven track record, having completed some of the largest and most successful commercial glazing contracts in New Zealand
Our Promise:
As we move into that future we remain committed to continually updating our skills and in-house technology, providing international best practice glass solutions to the New Zealand building industry.
When a designer presents a concept in glass that others might say no to, we at Woods Glass instead find solutions. We rely on our team’s technical ability, experience and expertise and rest with the knowledge that our industry partners support, constantly train and audit us to ensure that our systems and procedures follow best practice.
When a proven track record in the commercial glass and glazing industry is combined with modern technology, equipment and experienced specialized staff, the result is a glazing company capable and willing to take on the responsibility of delivering engineered building glazing solutions.
Sourcing and Sustainability
Woods Glass sustainably builds futures for our people, our community and our customers.
Sustainability is one of Woods Glass’ core strategic priorities. Through continuous development we are able to provide customers and the community with innovative, world leading facade solutions designed specifically for the New Zealand environment.
Woods Glass reduce the environmental impact of our processing and construction activities through sustainability focused design, sourcing and production methods.
Our aluminium extrusions are sourced from McKechnie’s Aluminium - the only aluminium extruder to achieve diamond level third-party CEMARS™ environmental certification. This means they emit 90% less carbon in producing their materials than the global average.
We have a minimum 85% recycled aluminium in our window suites and we recycle all our off-cuts and scrap aluminium back through their re-melt facility.
Woods Glass aim to minimise any waste that is sent to landfill by recycling glass, timber, polystyrene, metal, aluminium and batteries through responsible channels.
We are commited to the environment and a member of New Zealand Green Building Council. We have a Green Star Accredited Professional who has an in-depth knowledge in healthy, less polluting green building practices.
