» 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 of the product and opens a realm of opportunity in the specification sector .
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 .
Sheerline understands how important it is for homeowners to feel safe and secure within their homes . That ’ s why individuals who are apprehensive about externally glazed windows will gain peace of mind from this fully internally beaded product . There is also the option to perfectly match products in terms of styling , security , and colour .
