Thermoplank Unitised Rainscreen

Thermoplank has been developed by Thermosash as an extruded aluminium unitised planking product which we engineer and manufacture to be installed as rainscreen, or for integration into our PW1000 Unitised High Performance Curtainwall System. The unitised system enables faster install timeframes than individual planks, saving on programme time.

In our manufacturing facilities in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington we can fold and finish aluminium to mimic the appearance of large format tiles, baguettes, louvres and corrugation. The finished product can be made to match the aesthetic of terracotta, porcelain tiles, heritage fluting etc.

Section Sizes: The designer should allow a minimum facade zone from the face of the air barrier of 60mm - this can be larger if more room for external insulation is required.

Panel size limitations are calculated on the project location (wind zone / seismic), height, primary structure movement calculations (ULS) and eventual material selection.

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. 

Sustainability: 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.

We collaborate with architects and other project stakeholders to deliver custom facade solutions uniquely suited to the aesthetics, structural requirements and site-specific demands of each project.
