Sheerline Unveils Latest Wave of Products at FIT Show 2023
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 threeday 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 three-way option for the award winning 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 /( m 2 K ) 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 .
