Sheerline Launches New Fast Connect Hybrid Bead for Installers

Sheerline’s new Fast Connect Hybrid Bead speeds up installations and accommodates both under and oversized units with ease. All while being easy to remove when a glass unit needs replacing. The true fitter’s friend – helping reduce installation time on site.

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, there are less issues for installers on site when dealing with irregular sized units.

Connect is available in two glazing sizes 28 and 36mm. It has been designed as a universal bead, useable across Sheerline’s entire Prestige range of windows, doors, bi-folds and patios. Helping to simplify manufacturing and available on our standard 5-day lead times to fabricators.

Delivered to site protected by pro-tape that features a QR code that takes you to the simple glazing and deglazing instructions. Fitting the bead will be second nature to anyone familiar with glazing PVC-u.

The bead also remains more stable during transit in frames, due to the positive click of the hybrid design. Once you’ve tried it you won’t want to go back!
