Introducing

Thermally efficient frames

High performance glass Centrafix™ installation

What is ThermalHeart+®?

It’s new thermal technology for windows and doors that almost doubles the performance of standard aluminium windows and doors1

This versatile system of thermally efficient frames and unique AGP System glass creates warmer, drier and healthier homes for both us and the environments we live in. With the innovative Centrafix™ installation method, thermal performance is further increased by over 20%2

35-50% of a home’s heat is lost from its windows and doors. Which is why we are introducing ThermalHeart+®. A range of code meeting, industry leading, thermally efficient products designed and made right here in New Zealand for exactly how we live.

¹ Comparison figures are based on complete thermal modelling of an average house lot of Metro Series ThermalHEART® products with The AGP System™ double glazing using the WEERS modelling methodology. The benchmark figures were calculated by modelling the same average house lot of products using the equivalent non-thermally broken products glazed with standard double glazing. A “standard aluminium window or door” refers to a non-thermally broken aluminium frame with non-thermally improved double glazing.

² Centrafix™ comparison figures are based on complete thermal modelling of an average house lot of products installed in 90mm timber framing. The standard installation benchmark was calculated by modelling the same house lot of comparable products using a typical E2/AS1 cavity construction installation on 90mm timber framing.

Made for a better future

Sustainable change, for us, starts at the design stage or, as we like to think of it – the redesign stage. We’re committed to closing the loop on material flows, designing waste and pollution out, and regenerating natural environments. Our future path is clear: creating products for homes and buildings that have zero impact on our beautiful country.

We are proud to work with:

+ ThinkStep and Toitu to understand our product life cycle and footprint

+ ‘Declared’ through Living Future Institute

+ Circular IQ tools to improve our circular performance.

Manufacturer Network

The ThermalHeart+® system is exclusively available through our Altherm, First and Vantage manufacturers nationwide. These independently-owned and operated manufacturers have local knowledge and relationships and share our commitment to excellence and our spirit of innovation.

See thermalheartplus.co.nz for manufacturer details.

ThermalHEART® frames

Leading thermal performance designed and made right here for warmer, drier, healthier New Zealand homes. The ThermalHEART® polyamide barrier insulates the frame of the window system, separating warm and cold areas.

+ ThermalHEART® frames deliver almost double the thermal performance of standard aluminium windows and doors1

+ A comprehensive and highly versatile range of products

+ Clean, modern lines

+ High performance in extreme weather conditions.

The AGP System™

Not all windows and doors are created equal and The AGP system™ sits right at the heart of our products’ thermal performance.

+ The ATS - Architectural Thermal Spacer® reduces the transfer of hot and cold temperatures

+ Argon gas creates an additional barrier to heat loss and improves insulation

+ Solux-E® is a low-e coating that reduces heat loss in winter and over-heating in summer. It protects your home’s interior while providing a similar clarity to clear glass.
