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 .
