| Onehunga Heliport - Thermoclick |
|
Advanced Flight’s new Heliport at Pikes Point adjacent to the Manukau Harbour has become Ampelite’s first major NZ application for the Thermoclick multi-wall, translucent polycarbonate façade/cladding system and satisfied a number of demanding performance criteria specified by the architect Bodie Maxcey.
Installed by C & A Hopkins Roofing Contractors, the Lexan Thermoclick interlocking panels were used to clad the huge 5.5m high by 9.3m wide sliding hangar doors and as cladding to a first floor storage area to provide soft glare-free diffused natural light to the building interior.
The architect and client selected Thermoclick because of its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance – important in a high wind zone and to resist “rotor/prop wash”, its light weight, allowing easy manual movement of the sliding doors, its excellent thermal and acoustic performance and its long-term, low maintenance, weather resistant U/V protected surface.
