Longstanding PVC-U supplier Select Windows has diversified its product offering by adding Sheerline’s aluminium range.

The company is re-entering the aluminium market after leaving it in 1986.

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 experience, coupled with a visit to FIT Show 2025, is said to have given 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 PVC-U 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 provided full oversight and more control, allowing them to meet demand for a growing sector of the market.

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.”
