Next-generation performance meets modern design in a roof system engineered to transform the glazed extension market.
A bold step forward in aluminium innovation with the launch of the S3 Architectural Glazed Roof System, Sheerline’s premium single-pitch aluminium roof, is set to redefine what installers and homeowners can expect from high-end glazed extensions.
Available to order from Sheerline Bespoke, the S3 focuses on sleek aesthetics, thermal performance, and ease of installation.
And the name is poised to set new benchmarks across the glazed extension market.
“It’s bold to say the S3 is the future of the glazed extension, but it is driven by a consumer-led approach which is heavily influenced by aluminium and the aesthetics you get with aluminium windows and doors,” said Chris Cooke, Commercial Director at Sheerline Bespoke.
“The classic bold lines and clean, confident aesthetics aluminium offers are at the heart of where the market is going, and the S3 reflects that perfectly.”
Designed for style and substance
At first glance, the S3 stands out with its refined all-aluminium finish, low-sight lines, external cappings, and deep internal rafters that provide both structural integrity and modern, architectural aesthetics. Every element has been designed to provide a luxury visual appeal, from flush rafter end caps to the seamless ventilation integration of Sheerline’s stylish SheerVent®.
“The roof vents we are used to seeing, tend to be an afterthought and don’t aesthetically feel right but, the SheerVent® blends well with the aluminium windows and doors underneath,” said Chris.
Yet the S3’s beauty isn’t just skin deep. Underneath the sleek surface lies Sheerline’s proven Thermlock® technology, a fully insulated thermal-break system that delivers outstanding energy efficiency and means the S3 is a whopping 230% more thermally efficient than traditional conservatory roof designs
“If you think about the future of the glazed extension and what it looks like, it’s aluminium, it’s proper thermal breaks, and it’s bold aesthetics,” adds Chris. “The S3 delivers on every front.”
Built with installers in mind
Ease of installation has been a cornerstone of the S3’s development. It arrives on site as an installation-ready kit, featuring fewer components than a traditional single pitch roof and intelligent design touches such as a factory-set pitch and Triple-Lock Wall Plate. These features don’t just save installation time; they eliminate common on-site issues and ensure a perfect finish.
“When you develop any product, but especially a roofing product, the installation process has to be front and centre,” said Chris. “If it’s not easy to fit, fitters switch off. The S3 uses fewer parts and simplifies the process without overcomplicating what is essentially a lean-to design. It’s quicker, cleaner, and more efficient to install.”
This streamlined approach means less disruption for the end customer and allows installers to complete jobs faster, giving them a commercial edge in a competitive marketplace.
Engineered for a growing market
As demand for high-end, aluminium-based glazed extensions continues to rise, Sheerline’s S3 gives installers a powerful way to stand out from the crowd. With projections of up to 4500mm, and bi-fold openings up to 3m, the S3 opens the door to a wide range of contemporary extension and garden room designs.
With a fully matching system that integrates seamlessly with Sheerline’s award-winning windows and doors, and a choice of a contemporary or ogee aluminium gutter and welded downpipe options, the S3 ensures a fully coordinated, ultra-premium finish that affluent homeowners desire.
Offered through Sheerline Bespoke, the S3 is part of a growing range of specialist architectural aluminium solutions, including the award-winning S1 Roof Lantern and S2 Glazed Roof.
These systems are tailored to meet the needs of fabricators and installers working on premium residential projects, providing pre-kitted systems that are ready to install, right out of the box.
“We are going to see, certainly with the aluminium full kit conservatories, the glazed extension become very interesting again and it’s aluminium that is driving that,” added Chris. “The S3 has been designed to lead the way, not just as a roof system but as a centrepiece to a home, thanks to combining advanced engineering, installer-friendly design, and cutting-edge aesthetics into one seamless package.”
