JOIN THE REVOLUTION WITH
THE NEW DOOR BROCHURE
» » THE NEW 2018 EXCLUSIVE
door collection is now available
from Force 8. The new brochure
features 64 pages of their extensive
door portfolio, plus three new
designs in the Decadence door
range, giving an even wider
selection to choose from. Force
8’s range of Decadence doors is a
unique collection which is now
available in a smooth finish as well
as the standard wood grain effect.
Each of the 14 Decadence doors
have their own intricately etched
designs on the outside of the door,
giving them a distinctive and
individual look.
With the fashion for composite
doors moving more towards
contemporary designs, the new
smooth finish adds a whole new
dimension. The advantages of the
Decadence Smooth door range,
are the style combines the look of
an aluminium door along with the
thermal advantage of a composite
door. If you were to purchase an
aluminium door with the same
design, this could cost five times
more than an exclusive composite
smooth door from Force 8.
Force 8 is one of the leading
companies involved in the
manufacturing of composite
doors in the industry. For over 25
years, Manchester based Force 8
has led the way with new ideas
and innovations, and their new
brochure is no exception.
To further enhance the appeal
of their doors, Force 8 allows you
the option of their Urban cassette
which is available in aluminium
or their colour matching finish
and there is also the option of the
TriSys moulded cassette.
Alongside the new designs
in the Decadence range, there
are also new additions to the
contemporary door range which
are now available with the smooth
finish as well as the wood grain
effect texture which features on
both sides of the doors. All of
Force 8’s doors are available in
standard and premium colours
with an additional 210 RAL
colours available.
Force 8 never releases a new
brochure unless there are new
door designs to be promoted. The
new brochure will allow people
to see why doors from Force 8 are
revolutionary.

New code for industrial door sector
A new code of practice (DHF TS 012:2018) designed to raise standards of
safety in the industrial door industry has been announced by Tamworth-
based trade association, the Door and Hardware Federation (DHF).
» » THE ‘CODE OF PRACTICE
for the Design, Manufacture,
Installation and Maintenance of
Industrial Doors and Domestic
Garage Doors (DHF TS
012:2018)’ is the 13th in a series
of DHF technical specifications
covering the range of industry
sectors represented by DHF and
is available as a free download
from http://www.DHFonline.
org.uk/publications/technical-
specifications/1.htm.
Providing a framework to
ensure the safe and compliant
installation of industrial doors
and roller shutters, the code draws
on safety legislation, European
standards, and industry best
practice. It gives practical help to
all those involved with industrial
doors by providing clear guidance
on their legal obligation and
responsibilities. The code
took more than nine months
to develop and going forward,
will form the basis of the DHF
comprehensive two-day Industrial
Door Safety Diploma course.
The DHF’s Industrial Door
Group now represents more
than 273 UK manufacturers,
suppliers, installers or
maintainers of industrial
doors and industrial door
equipment.
“We welcome the release of
DHF TS 012:2018 and see this

as the ‘bible’ for those working
with industrial doors and roller
shutters,” says DHF Industrial
Door Group Chairman, Dave
Lewis. “Currently, there are too
many untrained people working
in the sector and with some of
these products weighing up to
three tonnes, safety is absolutely
vital. If a door falls from
25-30 foot in the air causing
an accident, the consequences
can be life-changing for all
concerned.”
“This new DHF code of
practice condenses and refines
information from UK and
European law and standards
to provide accurate, clear
reference and guidance for those
working with industrial doors,”
says DHF CEO, Bob Perry.
“Reducing the ‘grey areas’ and
supporting the requirements
for competence and training
at all levels in the process, we
are confident that DHF TS
012:2018 will become the
benchmark reference document
setting standards across the
industry.”
The Code of Practice DHF
TS 012:2018 is available now
from the DHF website. Email
