Sheerline says that its new Fast Connect Hybrid Bead speeds up installations and accommodates both under and oversized units, while also being easy to remove when a glass unit needs replacing.

Its concealed and patent-pending Thermlock inner improves thermal performance while also providing the ‘give’ that aids both glazing and deglazing. With a co-extruded gasket to give a generous 5mm of compression, Sheerline adds that there are less issues for installers on site when dealing with irregular sized units.

Connect is available in two glazing sizes, 28 and 36mm. Available on a standard five-day lead times to fabricators, it has been designed as a universal bead, useable across Sheerline’s entire Prestige range of windows, doors, bi-folds and patios.

It is delivered to site protected by pro-tape that features a QR code that directs users to simple glazing and deglazing instructions. According to Sheerline, fitting the bead will be ‘second nature’ to anyone familiar with glazing PVC-U.

The bead is also said to be more stable during transit in frames, due to the positive click of the hybrid design.
