Sheerline has launched its new Index Bi-fold System.
With a streamlined product range, designed to meet 90% of bi-fold orders, Index supports high-volume retail and contract work. It’s a direct competitor to lower-quality imported products, giving fabricators and installers greater choice, and letting them benefit from the best of British innovation.
It offers all the features and benefits Sheerline’s customers have come to expect. Like high performance, straight-forward U-values: DG 1.4 W/(m2K), TG 1.0 W/(m2K). Easily achieving Part L compliance without foam thanks to the company’s unique Thermlock® thermal break technology, which is more stable and warmer than polyamide.
As well as providing the same thermal efficiency as Sheerline’s other products, Index offers the usual stylish aesthetics too. With a contemporary sash, 72mm outer frame with stepped rebate and clip-on cill, for ease of transportation and installation.
Index uses standard Sheerline corner cleats and beads for easy integration into a fabricator’s production line and is available alongside new competitive hardware options from Ingenious.
With a double-wheeled design and a single roller which eliminates the need for a dummy or floating mullion, Index is a cut above lower-quality alternatives.
Five-day lead times backed up by first-class UK-based service, rather than having to order container loads on six weeks plus deliveries with non-existent technical support, will also help give Sheerline customers the tools to succeed.
Sitting alongside the existing Prestige Bi-fold, which remains the company’s premium, more versatile range, Index is set for success with both contract and high-volume retail fabricators.
Tony Basile, Sheerline’s national sales director, said: “We know our customers are competing against cheap imports. Index gives them a direct answer, but doesn’t compromise on our, or our customers commitment to quality. We’re a proud, fully integrated, British manufacturer, and as such, it is our responsibility to leverage the advantages this affords us, so our customers benefit and maintain their competitive advantage.”
“Anyone who knows Sheerline knows how important our network of fabricators and installers is to us. That’s why we’re constantly developing innovative solutions to the everyday challenges they face.” he added.
