Reverse Butt Joint Launch for Aluminium Market
» KNOWN FOR DEVELOPING INNOvative solutions to historic challenges within the aluminium industry , Sheerline has announced the launch of its latest revolutionary product , a Reverse Butt Joint for the Prestige window system .
Based on Sheerline ’ s tried and tested corner cleat , a new patented , precision-machined , aluminium T cleat will enable Sheerline customers to offer fully internally beaded aluminium windows , that feature both opening vents and fixed panes . It will streamline the fabrication and installation process , enabling fabricators to manufacture the reverse butt joint using Sheerline ’ s newly introduced Prestige Z transom .
This solution eliminates the need for external glazing , reverse adaptors , and dummy sashes , therefore saving time and money ; the reduction in materials , manufacturing , and labour costs also adds to the appeal .
Large-scale commercial projects and tenders , where efficiency is key , will benefit from the streamlined approach offered by the Z transom . For instance , it ’ s the ideal option for projects that require fully internally glazed windows and reduces the need for scaffolding as glazing and remedial work can be carried out from within a building .
In addition , the reverse butt joint uses less material when compared to windows that use a dummy sash , which reduces waste and saves time . Saving 20 % on material and labour costs when compared to a window featuring a dummy sash rather than a fixed light .
As well as making the installation process quicker and more efficient , there are also visual benefits to consider . For example , the discreet joints give a sleek , modern appearance , adding value to both the visual aesthetic of the window overall and the installation .
Dave Watts , Sheerline ’ s Technical Sales Director said : “ Anyone who operates within the PVC -U market is aware of the advantages of reverse butt joints , but within the aluminium industry , they ’ re relatively unheard of as legacy aluminium systems can ’ t accommodate them .
“ There are many outstanding features to highlight about our newest product – the fact it streamlines the fabrication and installation processes , but also the fact it gives our customers greater choice , and that ’ s something we pride ourselves on .”
