Sheerline unveils latest wave of products at FIT Show 23
Secured by Design member company, Sheerline, is celebrating exhibiting at the FIT Show for the first time this year, coinciding with the FIT show’s 10-year anniversary. The whirlwind three-day event was extremely successful for the team, enabling them to meet potential partners from across the industry. It also provided an opportunity for the company to showcase an exciting range of new products.
This includes a new 3-way option for the award winning, Secured by Design accredited, S1 roof lantern, which is available from early July. Allowing for larger statement roof lanterns without the need for jack rafters, it continues S1’s distinctive architectural aesthetic customers love.
Attendees of the FIT Show also had the chance to see Sheerline’s new SheerVent, which offers a revolutionary approach to ventilation for roof lanterns and conservatory roofs. This sleek and minimalist roof vent sits perfectly flush with S1’s rafter bars – at last a beautiful roof vent!
The system overcomes the historical issues of leaks and removes the need for muntin bars. In addition, powered actuators can be intelligently automated to make opening and closing the SheerVent as easy as possible. It is fully thermally broken and uses the same high-performance glazing as the S1. SheerVent is available as an option on S1 roofs from early July.
Another addition to the Sheerline product line that was showcased for the first time at FIT ‘23 was the Classic Heritage Door, which completes the ultra slim Classic range. This stylish and aesthetically pleasing door features a period-inspired lockbox design. Reminiscent of slim steel doors of the last century – but full of the latest technologically innovations.
Available as single or French doors, with dummy transom bars creating an authentic aesthetic. It features Sheerline’s signature ‘stepped’ look so homeowners can achieve consistent styling inside and outside the home.
As with every product within the Classic range, the Classic Heritage Door is Part L compliant as standard, offering U-values as low as 1.4 W/(m2K) with double glazing, which is the equivalent of an A+ Door Energy Rating. Available from August, Sheerline’s fabricator partners are already indicating a high level of interest in this newest addition to the Classic range.
Last but not least, Sheerline has announced a Z transom launching later this summer. This enables customers to create an aluminium reverse butt joint, allowing for fully internally glazed, fixed next to opening, window combinations. This elegant solution eliminates the need to use external glazing, costly reverse adaptors or dummy sashes helping with competitive tenders. Further evidence of Sheerline’s commitment to product innovation.
Sales Director, Tony Basile said: “First, we’d like to say ‘thank you’ to everyone who stopped by the stand and said hello during FIT Show 2023. It was great to catch up with so many familiar faces and meet new ones too. We’re busy following up on leads but want to invite any partners or potential partners to get in touch if they’re interested in any of the new products we showcased.”
“We’re constantly innovating and looking for new solutions to old problems within the aluminium industry. It’s a fantastic time to join the Sheerline family – regardless of whether you’re an installer or fabricator, we’ve got support in place for everyone,” Tony added.
