GEORGIAN
BARS FROM
FORCE 8
Leading Manchester
based fabricator, Force 8
have noticed a rising trend
in customers wanting
Georgian bars within their
products, whether this is in
windows and even stable
doors.
Georgian bars are fitted
between the two panes of
glass, giving the overall im-
pression of separate panes
of glass. The advantages of
this are that you can keep
one continuous glazed unit,
keeping the cost low as well
as being low maintenance.
All Force 8 products are
manufactured in their Hazel
Grove factory, ensuring you
don’t have to deal with mul-
tiple companies if you are
looking to have a complex
design, allowing you to save
time and money and you
can also be sure that greater
quality control will be in
place.
Force 8 leads in the inno-
vation and creation of new
ideas and is a great way to
for the company to expand
on their portfolio as well as
giving their customers the
chance to add something
different to their home.

IT’S ALL SQUARED FOR THE RESIDENCE COLLECTION
With demand for contempo-
rary living high on the style agen-
da for consumers, R2 from The
Residence Collection is enjoying
an increase in demand and has
been supported by the launch of a
new, premium 20-page consumer
brochure.
R2 shares the same front to back
dimensions of R9, but instead of
the revered period detailing, this
window and door system has
a contemporary square finish,
with perfect, architectural appeal.
There are the options of 28mm or
44mm glazing with complementa-
ry square glazing beads, yet there
are decorative and staff options,
which can be used to customise
the overall internal design.
Given the contemporary nature
of R2, there are three flat colours
in the form of Chalk White, Vintage
Cream and No 38 Grey, along with
the foiled options of Grained White,
Clotted Cream, Painswick, English
Oak, Irish Oak, Silvered Oak and Ec-
lectic Grey. In addition to casement
windows, there are also residential,
inward opening balcony and out-
ward opening doors, along with a
full range of matching ancillaries.
