Prestige Reverse Butt Joint
Create fully internally glazed aluminium windows.
An evolution of our traditional corner cleat, our new patented T cleats enable fabricators to manufacture reverse butt jointed windows using our newly introduced Prestige Z transom for fully internally glazed windows
This elegant solution eliminates the need to use external glazing, costly reverse adaptors or dummy sashes helping with competitive tenders, by saving 20% on material and labour costs.*
*Based on unglazed raw material and labour saving compared to a standard window with a side next to fixed dummy sash.
Enables you to provide the ‘universally preferred’ internally glazed windows homeowners expect.
With a more modern appearance, our unique method of construction keeps all bead lines internal for visual consistency.
For customers that are apprehensive about externally glazed windows, this internally beaded option helps remove those security concerns.
In contrast to alternatives which feature an assortment of unattractive square cuts, Sheerline’s reverse butt joint is clean and neat, providing a refined, sleek solution.
Compared to fabricating a dummy sash, the reverse butt joint saves labour costs as it takes less time to manufacture.
The reverse butt joint uses less materials when compared to a window with a dummy sash, which in turn also generates less waste.
For tenders that require fully internally glazed windows, the Z transom provides new opportunities for larger scale aluminium window projects.
With the advantage of glazing windows from the inside, Installers love the benefits that Z transoms provide, including speeding up fitting time and providing an easier option for remedial work without the need for scaffolding.
The reverse butt joint allows windows to be glazed internally, which on larger commercial projects saves time and also helps reduce significant costs such as scaffolding hire.
Precision joints are designed for straightforward internally glazed installations using clip-in pre-gasketed beads. Making fitting quicker and more efficient.
Clean, simple aesthetics mean installers can achieve a premium look with Sheerlines Prestige reverse butt joints, contributing to the overall visual appeal of the windows and helping ensure customer satisfaction.
Our patented reverse butt joints also save time and expense if any remedial work is required as re-glazing can be done from inside the property.
No wedge gaskets or shuffle beads are required when installing windows featuring the Z transom.
