Sheerline has launched a new clip-in bead option for its Classic range, giving customers the flexibility to supply frames and glass separately. 

Using a simple clip-in bead based on the proven Prestige bead design, Classic eliminates the need for time-consuming wedge gasketing. There’s also no requirement to mill the beads during manufacture, keeping this latest development as fabricator friendly as possible.

Available in the same two sash styles as the rest of Sheerline’s range, Stepped and Contemporary, windows are available in two outer frame sizes, both available in flush fitting or standard options to meet homeowners’ specific requirements.

The system meets the requirements of Part L with an A WER for 28mm double glazing, thanks to Thermlock multi-chambered technology. U-values of 1.1 are achievable with standard triple glazed units if required.

With ultra-slim sightlines as low as 36mm for fixed frames and 59mm for openers, as well as a full range of dedicated authentic clip-on Georgian bars, Sheerline says that Classic is an ideal aluminium window system for customers looking for heritage style windows.

The Classic range is available with Secured by Design accreditation.

Sheerline CEO, Roger Hartshorn, said: “Our new clip-in bead system is a game-changer for fabricators and installers who are tired of working with traditional aluminium frames that simply don’t offer the modern benefits that our systems offer.”
