FORCE 8 HAS ANNOUNCED THAT its composite stable doors are now available in a huge choice of 210 RAL colours . Typically suited to more traditional style properties , the stable door is a versatile choice for a back door as it allows for plenty of ventilation and light in the home while keeping children and pets safe indoors , or a perfect vantage point for parents if children are playing outside .
Managing Director Dennis Sumner explained : “ We were one of the first companies in the UK to manufacture composite stable doors and since we launched them sales have consistently grown . We are now able to offer
210 RAL colours ; meaning that there is something to suit every style of home , plus we can offer the frames in any colour , allowing them to complement or contrast with the door .”
Good looks are not the only consideration with these doors though and Force 8 has ensured that security is of top priority , employing the use of the AV2 Winkhaus or the BSI tested Yale thumbturn locks . SFS Intec hinges have been selected by Force 8 as they are fully adjustable , making them a fitter ’ s friend . A low threshold stormguard is also available for disabled access . www . force8 . uk

SOUTH COAST TRADE fabricator Window Warehouse added the LEKA Warm Roof and LEKA Orangery Roof to its portfolio in January 2017 . Eighteen months on , the relationship has gone from strength to strength .
Malcom Cake , Managing Director of Window Warehouse , said : “ We chose LEKA Systems because the products offered something different . They have a lower U value so outperform other roofing options . There was a unique selling point because there was no use of timber or aluminium unlike other systems . They ’ ve more than lived up to their expectations .”
The products have proved extremely popular with Window Warehouse installers and over 50 have taken the training and become LEKAcertified installers . Feedback has been very positive : installers rate the ease of installation and the quality of the initial
training session . They also appreciate the lightweight system because it ’ s great for retro-fit projects while the tile finish options mean it can match in with many different property styles .
Malcolm has been so impressed with the LEKA portfolio and its opportunities for sales that Window Warehouse has developed a retail-focused website devoted to the products . Malcolm commented : “ The website has been designed to generate enquiries to pass on to our approved installers .”
