Direct Roofing Systems, one of the first fabricators to partner with Garnalex and its Sheerline aluminium window and door systems, has stated that the Classic system is a ‘game changer’, offering homeowners a more modern, slimline alternative to traditional aluminium offerings. Direct Roofing was established in 2017 and supplies aluminium bi-folds, patios, French doors, and roof lanterns. It was looking for an aluminium supplier with a good reputation and exceptional product performance. Sheerline, with its innovative product design, ease of fabrication and excellent service was, according to Direct Roofing Systems, the ideal solution.
“Demand from our customers has been growing for a full suite of aluminium products,” said managing director Jimmy Cardno. “We recognised from the many features Sheerline has to offer how this would benefit our existing product portfolio. The Classic system, with beadless and flush finishes, presents something different. You can make any size you want and lots of parts are interchangeable. It is a nice-looking, innovative product giving an attractive slimline, seamless look and is easy to fabricate using the corner construction, making fabrication quicker. So far, service and delivery times have also been very good.”
Roger Hartshorn, Garnalex’s CEO, added: “We designed Sheerline with clever innovations to make fabricators’ and installers’ lives easier. Product innovation is matched by outstanding service – all Classic profiles and components are available on industry-leading lead-times in 12 stocked colours, including three anodised finishes. Dual colour combinations from this stocked range are also available on the same lead-times, with bespoke colours available quickly too.”
Sheerline’s two systems are Classic, an ultra-secure beadless aluminium window system ideal for replacing traditional steel-framed windows, and Prestige, which is suited to modern, minimalist builds, offering a thermally efficient system with U-values as low as 0.9 W/(m²K) for triple glazing and 1.3 W/(m²K) for double glazing.
