Sheerline’s latest addition to the popular Classic range is the newly launched clip-in bead option. This fabricator and installer-friendly addition give Sheerline customers greater choice as part of its gamechanging aluminium window and door offering. Joining the existing high-security beadless Classic window.

Customers choosing the new clip-in bead version can still expect the same secure, ultra-slim, high-performance aluminium frames they are familiar with. But now with the added flexibility of being able to supply frames and glass separately.

However, those looking for the ultimate thermal performance will be delighted to know that U-values of 1.1 are achievable with standard triple-glazed units if required. A clear advantage over systems based on older, polyamide thermal breaks.

This is a huge competitive advantage for Sheerline users, as many legacy systems are unable to meet the newest standards easily.

With ultra-slim sightlines as low as 36mm for fixed frames and 59mm for openers, as well as a full range of dedicated authentic clip-on Georgian bars, Classic is the ideal aluminium window system for discerning customers looking for the best heritage-style window possible.

Other key selling points of the Classic range include the fact that every product is available with Secured by Design accreditation, valued by homeowners looking for extra peace of mind. Testimony to the fact that every Sheerline product is designed to be as secure as possible.

Using a simple clip-in bead based on the proven Prestige bead design, Classic eliminates the need for time-consuming wedge gasketing. There’s also no requirement to mill the beads during manufacture, keeping this latest development as fabricator friendly as possible. Available in the same two sash styles as the rest of Sheerline’s innovative thermally efficient range, Stepped and Contemporary, windows are available in two outer frame sizes, both available in flush fitting, or standard options to meet homeowners’ specific requirements.

Easily meeting the requirements of Part L with an A WER for 28mm double glazing, Thermlock® multi-chambered technology allows you to meet the newly introduced Part L building regulations without having to upgrade to expensive triple glazing or use foam inserts.

Sheerline CEO, Roger Hartshorn said: “Our new clip-in bead system is a game-changer for fabricators and installers who are tired of working with traditional aluminium frames that simply don’t offer the modern benefits that our systems offer.”

“One of our key aims for the Sheerline brand has been to overcome the weaknesses associated with traditional aluminium systems. We’re a solutions-focused business and the fabricators and installers we work with drive what we focus on. That’s why we’re striving to make aluminium as good as it can be.” he added.
