Part L compliant aluminium as standard

Sheerline has said that tougher Part L requirements could give fabricators and installers a competitive edge, as long as they choose the correct system supplier.

With an expanding range of Part L compliant aluminium windows, doors, bi-folds and roof lanterns – Sheerline’s customers are said to be reaping the benefits of choosing a modern aluminium system.

Designed around Sheerline’s Thermlock technology, which sits at the heart of every product, Thermlock multi-chambered thermal breaks are made from a material that is almost half as thermally conductive as polyamide.

This, coupled with their increased size means that Sheerline meets the new standards with standard double glazing – helping customers continue to sell the same spec of products, without adding cost.

With Sheerline, an aluminium U-value of 1.4 comes as standard.

Sheerline says that while other systems companies are trying to ‘shoehorn’ a solution into their legacy systems, either adding cost via foam inserts or forcing customers to ‘upgrade’ to expensive triple glazing, its customers are left with a competitive advantage and a clear easy to understand product offer.

Sheerline adds that its customers also stand to gain when thermal requirements tighten even further in 2025 as part of the Future Homes and Buildings Standards.
