Hartshorn’s Garnalex revives Sheerline name for Q1 launch
November 2019

Roger Hartshorn’s Garnalex venture into aluminium extrusion is on schedule to launch its window and door system early next year under the revived name of Sheerline.

Garnalex has so far invested £9million in its 100,000sq ft Derbyshire factory with the capacity to extrude 4million tonnes of aluminium an hour. It will be one of only two or three UK-owned systems companies extruding its own aluminium and the only one that makes its own plastic components that go with the systems. 

Garnalex will begin extruding the Sheerline system in Q1 2020 at its Nether Heage factory, on the grounds of the former LB Plastics site read story.

The Sheerline name has close ties with both companies, as Roger explained: “LB Plastics, which is now part of the Garner Holdings group, originally registered the Sheerline name in 1971. Sheerline is the ideal brand for a new state of the art aluminium product range and I’m delighted this name is a nod to the two companies’ linked heritage.”

He added: “We’re on a journey to transform fabricators’ and installers’ experience of buying aluminium systems and aluminium windows, by making them easier, faster and better to fabricate and install, and by making it easier to sell residential aluminium windows and doors.”
