Sheerline Wins Best Technical Innovation at GGP Installer Awards for the Third Time

Sheerline’s Prestige Reverse Butt Joint has been named Best Technical Innovation at the GGP Installer Awards. This is the third time in five years the company has been recognised with this prestigious accolade, highlighting the central role that innovation plays within the business.

When the announcement was made, the judges said it was great to see aluminium products using a reverse butt joint. The team at Sheerline couldn’t agree with this more as although this jointing method is commonly used within PVCu, it is relatively unheard of within aluminium.

This is despite the benefits it offers to installers, like streamlining installation as it eliminates the need for external glazing, reverse adaptors, and dummy sashes. This not only saves time, but money too.

It has been developed for use with the Prestige window system and is an evolution of Sheerline’s patented corner cleat. Using a unique T cleat enables fabricators to manufacture reverse butt jointed windows using the Prestige Z transom, which isn’t possible with legacy aluminium systems.

The Prestige Reverse Butt Joint joins two of Sheerline’s other well-respected products that have also achieved the title of Best Technical Innovation. In 2020, the company took home the award for its Classic Window system and in 2022, for its S1 Roof Lantern.

Roger Hartshorn, Sheerline CEO, commented: “The fact we’ve won this award three times for three very different products is a testament to our commitment to developing innovative, technically advanced products that not only push the boundaries of what is possible, but also put our customers first by providing them with tangible benefits.”

Martin Hepburn, Sheerline’s Area Sales Manager – South West, collected the award on behalf of the team and said: “There was a fantastic atmosphere at the ceremony, and I’m delighted to have collected the award on behalf of Sheerline. Huge thanks to the GGP team for putting on a great event.”
