Autumn is traditionally a time for consumers to get home improvement jobs done before the Winter sets in. With the lack of rainfall this summer gutters have been sitting idle but been subject to massive changes in temperature from highs of 30o to lows of 10o. With the inevitable expansion and contraction this brings it’s likely that with the first downpour gutters will have developed leaks. Freefoam have now launched a new version of their rainwater brand Freeflow® brochure. Show- casing the full range of Square, Round, Ogee, Deep and Cast-Iron effect PVC guttering and illustrating the major benefits of their inno- vative system the brochure is a great selling tool for all fitters. Whilst guttering is often seen as a commodity, with one brand very much like another, Freefoam has developed a series of clever innovations to raise the bar on guttering and solves the usual niggling issues - such ‘ Freefoam has developed a series of clever innovations ’ as scratches on the outside, discolouration over time and call backs to leaks – making life easier for installers! Each rainwater system is co-extruded with a white interior and a range of exte- rior colours. Freeflow features pioneer- ing long-life compressible seals which create flexible water-tight joints when lengths of guttering are connected. All Freeflow gutters and downpipes come covered with protective film so they can survive knocks in transit and can be installed without scratches. Freefoam is the colour specialist. Offering White, Black, Brown, Caramel and Grey rainwater ranges using Freefoam’s patented Color- maxTM technology. www.freefoam.com ARCHED COMPOSITE DOORS TO TRULY ENHANCE YOUR HOME If you have a unique entrance, Force 8 has the frame and the door for you. All this provides the modern aesthetics that you are looking for. Force 8’s arched composite doors are available in a VEKA Halo or System 10 profile with a one-piece sash bend that is fully reinforced. A 1200mm stainless steel square offset pull handle is on both sides of the door with a slam shut available. Force 8 uses SFS Dynamic 2D hinges which have style and security as stand- ard. 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. By using this process, this allows Force 8 to design and manufacture arches and curved sections of any size to the correct measurements. Force 8 have also recently devel- oped the Versace door, which was Spectus VS used to restore a Cardiff property to its former glory Heath Windows & Doors based on a customer’s needs.
