Sheerline’s Structural Coupler is ideal for Grand Design-style projects such as those featuring architectural aluminium utilising Prestige Bi-folding Doors sitting under large gable frames.
The clever component can be used in vertical and horizontal orientations, with the latter featuring a cill nose in-built to help with drainage, offering joints additional protection.
There’s also a retro-fit option for existing installations. It’s the ideal solution to help overcome remedial site issues by reducing deflection.
It works by increasing the rigidity of single components in instances where the wind pressure could be more than the deflection allowance.
As well as increasing the integrity of installations by strengthening them, the couplers help increase spans by up to 35%.
Each coupler has a variant suitable for the Classic and Prestige ranges ensuring there’s something for every project.
Sheerline’s Design Project Manager, Jon Crohill, said: “We’re confident fabricators and installers will find this versatile component helpful. The rule of thumb is to double a span you need to increase strength by eight, or to increase by 50% increase strength by four.”
