SHEERLINE SHEERGLIDE INLINE PATIO DOOR

At the heart of SheerGlide is Sheerline’s innovative first of its kind TwinLock technology – a patent-pending single-component interlock designed to combine security, thermal performance and slim aesthetics within one integrated profile.

At just 38mm wide, TwinLock creates a refined central sightline that maximises the glazed area of the patio door. Unlike traditional systems where security and thermal performance can require additional components, TwinLock incorporates both within the interlock itself.

The result is a strong, slim and fully thermally broken solution that enables SheerGlide to achieve PAS 24 security as standard while maintaining excellent thermal performance.

Its non-bonded design also makes the system easier to manufacture, transport and install.

Thermal performance doesn’t come at the expense of security.

Every SheerGlide patio door combines the integrated security of the TwinLock interlock with a high-security modular quad hooklock, providing PAS 24 security as standard.

The locking system has been designed to provide high levels of reliable security and smooth operation, while remaining discreetly integrated within the slim aluminium profiles.

For projects requiring Secured by Design accreditation, a laminated P1A glass upgrade can also be specified.

SheerGlide has been designed around clean, minimalist aluminium aesthetics.

The slim 38mm central interlock reduces the amount of visible frame between the glazed panels, helping maximise natural light and views through the door.

A 92mm sash and outerframe maintains balanced proportions around the perimeter, while precision 45° mitred corners – including at the interlocks – eliminate the square-cut ends associated with many traditional aluminium patio systems.

The result is a refined, contemporary patio door that complements modern aluminium windows, doors and glazed extensions.

Large glass panels shouldn’t mean a patio door is difficult to operate.

SheerGlide uses self-levelling rolling gear with an independent bogie design to provide smooth, reliable movement along the track.

Each sash can accommodate weights of up to 220kg, making the system suitable for large panes and high-performance triple glazing while retaining an effortless sliding action.

This makes SheerGlide particularly well suited to large openings where homeowners want expansive glazing without compromising everyday usability.

SheerGlide features an 80mm continuous frame threshold, completing the perimeter of the door and making the system particularly suitable for renovation and replacement projects.

Universal cloaking trims help achieve a neat finished appearance, while installers also have the option to sink the threshold to align more closely with the internal floor height.

This can create a cleaner transition between inside and outside spaces – ideal for contemporary extensions, open-plan kitchens and garden rooms.

SheerGlide is available in a wide selection of powder-coated aluminium colours, dual-colour combinations, metallic finishes and woodgrain foils, making it easy to coordinate with other Sheerline windows and doors.

SheerGlide has been developed as part of Sheerline’s fully integrated aluminium range, making it easy to coordinate patio doors with other windows, doors and glazed roof products across a project.

Pair SheerGlide with Sheerline Prestige Windows, Sheerline Prestige Doors, Sheerline Prestige Bifold Doors, Classic Heritage Doors, or a Sheerline S1 Roof Lantern or S3 Architectural Glazed Roof to create a consistent aluminium finish.

For installers, this provides greater flexibility when specifying complete aluminium glazing packages for extensions, renovations and new-build projects.
