Bi-fold Launch Helps Fabricators & Installers Maintain Competitive Edge

» MEET SHEERLINE ’ S Index Bi-fold System . With a streamlined product range , designed to meet 90 % of bi-fold orders , Index supports high volume retail and contract work . It ’ s a direct competitor to lower quality imported products , giving fabricators and installers greater choice , and letting them benefit from the best of British innovation .
It offers all the features and benefits Sheerline ’ s customers have come to expect . Like high
performance , straight-forward U-values : DG 1.4 W /( m 2 K ), TG 1.0 W /( m 2 K ). Easily achieving Part L compliance without foam thanks to the company ’ s unique Thermlock ® thermal break technology , which is more stable and warmer than polyamide .
As well as providing the same thermal efficiency as Sheerline ’ s other products , Index offers the usual stylish aesthetics too . With a contemporary sash , 72mm outer frame with stepped rebate and clip-on cill , for ease of transportation and installation .
Index uses standard Sheerline corner cleats and beads for easy integration into a fabricator ’ s production line and is available alongside new
competitive hardware options from Ingenious .
With a double wheeled design and a single roller which eliminates the need for a dummy or floating mullion , index is a cut above lower-quality alternatives .
Five-day lead times backed up by first class UK based service , rather than having to order container loads on six weeks plus deliveries with non-existent technical support , will also help give Sheerline customers the tools to succeed .
Sitting alongside the existing Prestige Bi-fold , which remains the company ’ s premium , more versatile range , Index is set for success with both contract and high-volume retail fabricators .
Tony Basile , Sheerline ’ s National Sales Director , said : “ We know our customers are competing against cheap imports . Index gives them a direct answer , but doesn ’ t compromise on our , or our customers commitment to quality . We ’ re a proud , fully integrated , British manufacturer , and as such , it is our responsibility to leverage the advantages this affords us , so our customers benefit and maintain their competitive advantage .”
