Longstanding PVCu supplier diversifies with aluminium
» SHEERLINE IS DELIGHTED TO announce Select Windows( Select) has become one of its newest fabricator partners. The longstanding PVCu supplier has opted to diversify its existing product offering by adding Sheerline’ s award-winning aluminium range.
The company is re-entering the aluminium market after leaving it in 1986, which highlights how innovative products and reliable service have transformed the aluminium side of the fenestration industry.
There were several reasons Select opted for the Sheerline system. In part, it was because of the longstanding relationship between members of Select’ s and Sheerline’ s senior management. Roger Hartshorn and his team previously helped the company achieve consistent, sustainable growth.
This led to a relationship built on trust, aligned values, and a shared vision. This experience, coupled with a visit to FIT
Show 2025, gave Select the confidence to become a Sheerline fabricator partner.
Gary Wylde, Managing Director at Select Windows, explained:“ Sheerline’ s products we believe are ahead of others on the market, with the internal beading, foiling, and ease of supply all major contributing factors in our decision, but the most important is the regard we have for the people we are dealing with.”
During FIT Show 2025, the team had the opportunity to see the heritage range in-person, including the arched Classic Heritage Door. They also learnt about Sheerline’ s woodgrain foiling service, which mirrors the foils they use across their PVCu systems.
The company decided it was time to diversify as there had been a steady increase in aluminium window enquiries. Although they had the option to buy in from other companies, fabricating in-house provides full oversight and more control.
Tony Basile, Sheerline’ s National Sales Director, said:“ To have Select Windows on board after previously working with them for a number of years is a testament to the experience we provide our customers – it’ s not just about our innovative, forward-thinking products, but the fact we’ re available when our customers need us coupled with our consistent, reliable service.”

NEW COMMERCIAL ALUMINIUM OPPORTUNITIES UNLOCKED FOLLOWING ACQUISITION
» DEKKO WINDOW Systems is poised to capitalise on significant new growth opportunities following Inwido’ s recent acquisition of Fast Frame; a respected Nottingham-based specialist uPVC manufacturer.
But, while Fast Frame has an established commercial presence, it does not manufacture aluminium, creating a natural opportunity for Dekko to support and expand this offering.
Kurt Greatrex, Managing Director of Dekko, commented:“ There’ s real excitement around Inwido’ s recent acquisition of Fast Frame. It’ s a strong bolt-on for the group and one that creates immediate opportunity for Dekko.
“ Fast Frame operates successfully in the commercial market but doesn’ t manufacture aluminium. That’ s where Dekko is ideally placed to add value, supplying high-quality commercial aluminium systems that complement their existing offer.”
For installers, the acquisition opens the door to confidently expanding into commercial
aluminium projects, supported by the combined expertise of Fast Frame, Dekko and the wider Inwido group.
“ This isn’ t just a growth opportunity for us as a fabricator,” added Kurt.“ It’ s about giving installers a clear route into commercial aluminium, backed by trusted manufacturing, proven systems and the reassurance of a major European group.”
