INDEX OF ALUMINIUM PRODUCTS NOW COMPLETE
» SWINDON-BASED GARDEN OF Eden , one of Sheerline ’ s original fabricator launch partners , has added the new Index Bi-fold to its range , which means the company now carries every Sheerline window and door product available .
The purpose of this is two-fold ; to increase customer choice and ensure the business maintains its competitive edge . Since carrying the innovative aluminium range , Garden of Eden has achieved steady business growth , with aluminium now accounting for almost half of all sales .
Garden of Eden took the strategic decision to start fabricating and selling Sheerline ’ s products as soon as they were available . They had previously adopted other window and door systems developed by Sheerline ’ s founder , Roger Hartshorn .
Based on this experience , Martin , Terry , and Helen Henly , Directors , felt the new
Sheerline range would be forward-thinking , offer exceptional performance , and look fantastic . For example , Sheerline ’ s products and systems are more streamlined when compared to alternative products . This is because the same beads and gaskets are used across the range , so there is less stock holding , with many interchangeable parts .
Martin commented : “ When we deal with Sheerline , there ’ s a real family feel and personal service . We aren ’ t simply a number . I know that if I need to speak to someone I can , so things get sorted out if you ’ ve got a problem or need a hand with something .
“ But it ’ s not just the service . When we speak to customers about Sheerline , there are three key things we tell them . First , the low U-values and the fact we can prove these values with evidence – not all companies can do this , second , we explain the quality behind the products as we make them in-house , and third , we explain everything is British made and the aluminium is UK-sourced too .”
Garden of Eden has recently moved to new premises and is in the process of setting up its showroom . Homeowners and installers can contact the team directly on 01793 530 808 to make an appointment to view the products available .

Partnership in developing concealed vertical rod panic & emergency hardware
» KESTREL ALUMINIUM SYSTEMS and ASSA ABLOY are celebrating a long and fruitful relationship that has seen the two brands collaborate on ASSA ABLOY ’ s new Concealed Vertical Rod ( CVR ) exit hardware range .
The new range offers universal application on all Kestrel Aluminium Systems ’ Commercial Door and Frame products and has been tested to PAS 24 on its single and double Thermal Commercial Door sets .
In the development stages of the new CVR hardware range , Kestrel Aluminium Systems was one of the main system houses that aided ASSA ABLOY . By providing its decades of knowledge on the industry , Kestrel was able to help create a range that was missing from the market .
Crispin Jedrzejewski , Head of Technical & Design , Kestrel Aluminium Systems comments : “ Our collaboration on the new CVR Exit range is the latest example of the great work we do together . This is a relationship that we value hugely because of the way it enables both brands to feed off each other ’ s expertise to create better products for our customers .”
The ASSA ABLOY Touch Bar Panic Unit offers an aesthetically pleasing solution and provides additional safety benefits thanks to its low projection from the door face . This makes it ideal for areas such as
sports halls , gymnasiums , hospitals , and schools with high traffic and risk of abuse , as well as front of house , where elegance is key .
The Push Bar Panic Unit is ideal for all door types , including fully glazed doors without a mid-rail . It can be cut to size , as can the Touch Bar Panic Unit . The two-point shootbolt locks into the threshold and the transom is withdrawn by pressing down on the push bar . The Push Pad Emergency Unit offers a more discrete solution for areas where users are familiar with the space and evacuation procedures with the same shootbolt lock mechanism .
The new Outside Access Device ( OAD ) and Security Escutcheon are elegantly designed to complement and enhance any Kestrel Aluminium Systems ’ door set escape routes .
