Sheerline launches Prestige lift & slide patio door

Sheerline has enhanced its popular Prestige range by adding a new thermally efficient lift & slide patio door.

It features slim sightlines of 106mm (frame and sash) and offers U-values of 1.4 with double glazing and 1.0 for triple glazing thanks to Sheerline’s proprietary Thermlock technology.

The Prestige lift & slide door also utilises Sheerline’s proven clip-in bead system. In addition, it’s available in Sheerline’s signature stepped sash, a range of contemporary colours, is Part L compliant (as standard) and can be ordered up to a maximum size of 6.5m wide and 2.5m high, with up to 400kg sashes.

Threshold options for the new door include the standard outer frame, a version with a clip-on cill nose, alongside a ramped low threshold, which has been tested in-line with Part M requirements. There’s also a concealed zero threshold available.

As with all Sheerline products, the Prestige lift & slide patio door has been designed to offer high levels of security as standard, featuring a unique retracting hook-lock with flush keeps to reduce the risk of snagging clothing on protruding pegs.

The doors have been designed to glide smoothly during operation thanks to specially designed stainless-steel tracks and high-performance running gear. Dual and triple track options are available, which cover most requirements. A patented sealing system has been incorporated to ensure the doors are weathertight against the worst of the UK’s weather.

According to Sheerline, considerable design consideration was also given to ensuring interlocks were as slim as possible, while also maintaining the systems thermal credentials. The new Sheerline patio comes with a choice of standard interlocks with slim 80mm sightlines, as well as ultra-slim 52mm interlocks suitable for use on many popular styles.

Sheerline’s product design director, Adrian Redshaw, commented: “We’re really proud of our new Prestige lift & slide patio door because it completes our Prestige range without compromising on the features that are most important to our customers; super slim sightlines, exceptional thermal efficiency, and looks that match all our other products.

“These are the features that elevate this product, and the Prestige range, to the next level, especially when compared to other products on the market,” he added.
