Create the Perfect Entrance

LEADING PROFILE BENDING company Force 8, is constantly developing its innovative ideas and techniques to further improve manufacturing capabilities. This enables the company to create the perfect arch frames with matching arched composite doors, which can improve the appearance and aesthetics of even the most modest of homes.
With 30 years’ experience, Force 8 has the highest standard of expertise as some engineers have been working there since the company was formed. Each Force 8 door is available with its own unique arched frame, which are manufactured in-house by Force 8, and all are made to order to fit any specific entrance. Whether you want a simple arch or a more complex frame, Force 8 can combine arched composite doors and arched frames to create the perfect entrance. This demonstrates how committed Force 8 is to continually improve the wide range of windows and doors.
PROCESS & PROGRESS
Force 8 uses state of the art techniques, allowing for lengths of up to 6500mm to be curved in a single length during the manufacturing process. Depending on the style of the arch, this allows for welds and steel reinforcements to be used where it’ s possible, creating the true radius of the arch. Using this process allows Force 8 to design and manufacture arches and curved sections of any size to the correct measurements. This process is unique to Force 8 and offers a structurally stronger frame. The one-piece sash bend is fully reinforced- even through the curve- and is available in VEKA Halo or a system 10 profile which are all in stock in the Hazel Grove factory.
Force 8 has also invested in a variable angle computer controlled double metre saw, which allows any shapes and sizes to be manufactured alongside angled and square frames. This process reduces material wastage dramatically, therefore increasing accuracy and production times.
COLOUR & CHOICE
As arches are available on a range of Force 8 composite doors, this further extends the choice for the customer. Each door is available with a wide variety of colour options. Using colour GRP skins means you’ ll never have to repaint your composite door – allowing this to be a maintenance free solution.
All of Force 8’ s doors are available in a wood grain finish, and a range are available with the newly developed smooth finish, giving the impression of an aluminium door with all the thermal benefits of a composite door.
When choosing your arched composite door, choose from black heritage hardware; which gives an antique aesthetics to any modern and contemporary door; the Blu 316 grade stainless steel hardware( which comes with a lifetime guarantee and has been chosen due to its great resistance to corrosion even in the toughest conditions); or the extensive range of door furniture available that gives a great impression due to the wide selection of colours. Each door is fitted with SFS 2D hinges, giving an aesthetically pleasing finish.
SUREFIRE SECURITY SYSTEM
The Surefire lock security system now features on the top ranges of doors from Force 8. This locking system features high security hooks which have anti-drill and antisaw protection. The Latch bolts have been
designed to ensure that the door will be in the correct position before the hooks engage into the keeps and should the door bow, this will prevent any side load pressure on the hooks during any normal lock operation. When you shut the door, this will engage the trigger and places all five locking points into the keeps and then when you use the key, the centre deadbolt will be thrown. To release, simply turn the key.
CUSTOM MADE CASE STUDIES …
Force 8 recently developed the Versace door, which was based on a customer’ s particular needs. The part arched composite door is set within a full arched frame, but is set off centre giving the entrance a contemporary edge. By listening to customers Force 8 is able to develop new ideas and designs that people actually want, the first rule of business is finding out what your customer needs are, and then delivering.
Furthering this, Force 8 has recently installed many arched composite doors locally to its factory, ranging from part arches to more complex designs; including an Oxford door in sliver grey with an arched frame. The overall design of the door gives a contemporary feel to a more traditional door.
