Aluminium Extra

AN ALUMINIUM FIRST : THREE MARKET-LEADING SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

In an industry first for aluminium , Sheerline fabricators can now use Sheerline ’ s product database on Business Micros Evolution , First Degree and LogiKal .
» WHILE IT IS COMMON FOR PVC-U systems companies to provide compatibility with multiple software systems , Sheerline is the only aluminium systems company to offer this benefit . Aluminium software packages are often complicated , but Sheerline ’ s marketleading software partners make it quick and easy for fabricators to set up with Sheerline .
Adrian Girling , Garnalex Software Development Director , explains : “ We understand the importance of user-friendly software systems for fabricators . The Garnalex team has a lot of in-house experience of using this type of software and we ’ re delighted to offer compatibility with Business Micros Evolution , First Degree and LogiKal . We want to make the set-up process as easy as possible for fabricators , so with Business Micros , for example , we deliver the package to customers fully equipped with their costs included . They can sit down straight away and get started using the package with zero set up and with no extra training required . We can also offer support internally so we can respond to customer queries much more promptly .”
Earlier this year , following extensive research , product development and investment , Garnalex launched Sheerline , its ground-breaking aluminium window and doors . Sheerline comprises two systems : Classic , a super-slim specialist window which is ideal for replacing traditional steel-framed windows and for modern minimalist builds , and Prestige , Sheerline ’ s most versatile and extensive system . Prestige includes single and French doors , and its design possibilities are endless as Prestige is designed for the largest spans and the biggest windows in a wide choice of frame sizes and configurations . Both systems are available in the same range of styles and finishes .

Another product line added with increased customer demand

» WHILE MANY COMPANIES struggled through lockdown , for CDW Systems , the renowned Gloucester based aluminium fabricator , 2020 was a busy year . In recent months , in response to increasing demand from customers , they ’ ve added flat roof lights and Designer Doors to their range .
Now , they ’ ve added a third product from Smart Systems to their portfolio – the Smart Alitherm Heritage Range , providing the ideal solution for heritage projects . The modern thermal aluminium range has been specifically developed to meet the requirements of refurbishment renewal projects , particularly in sensitive planning areas , and is ideal for Victorian and Art Deco projects .
CDW has already had success with this range in their local Gloucestershire area where there are many of these older properties in need of refurbishment . The wide range of commercial residential windows and balcony doors have also been proven in many renovation , refurbishment and heritage projects across the UK .
The Alitherm Heritage door and window ranges both feature
slim profiles and sightlines that are associated with traditional steel doors and windows . However , the system ’ s timeless elegance is also accompanied by the outstanding thermal performance of a modern aluminium system – each delivering a ‘ B ’ Energy Rating . The window range is available in several formats , including fixed-pane , top-hung and side-hung casement , pivot and tilt and turn . These different options may be installed in a combination of horizontal modules , which are stacked using Smart ’ s coupling options to form a multi-part window featuring a specially designed drip bar between modules .
Meanwhile , Alitherm Heritage balcony doors are available in
a wide range of sizes , can be either tape or gasket glazed , and are supplied with a multi-point lock mechanism as well as facemounted finger thrown locking bolts .
Group Chairman Jeremy Phillips comments : “ CDW is always looking to invest in new products so that we can provide our customers with the service they need to grow their business . We ’ ve got a great working relationship with Smart , and their Alitherm Heritage Range is a great system for building renovations as well as new projects , and we ’ re excited to be offering this new range to installers .”
