ALUMINIUM FRAME + COMPOSITE DOOR = INDUSTRY FIRST

»»
IF THERE ARE TWO PRODUCTS that have really taken off with homeowners in recent years , it ’ s aluminium frames and composite doors . Both have quickly become the UK ’ s favourite choices and now installers can take even greater advantage of their popularity with one of the leading names in aluminium products – REAL Aluminium – adding market-leading composite doors from Virtuoso Doors to its range .
With their levels of craftsmanship and quality taking door manufacturing to a new level , Virtuoso ’ s composite doors are among the best in the industry . Their addition to the REAL Aluminium range means installers now only need to deal with one supplier rather than several , in order to offer homeowners a complete full-home installation .
“ It ’ s part of our overall strategy to support installers by giving them all they need from one source ,” says John Adams , REAL Aluminium ’ s customer service director . “ We ’ re determined to lead the way in creating a product range that ’ s second to none and the addition of these superb composite doors goes a long way to achieving that goal . I think they ’ re a magnificent addition to our offering and one that any homeowner would be proud to own .”
A recent investment in the latest cuttingedge manufacturing equipment has enabled Virtuoso to not only craft each door with absolute precision but to also offer installers an extremely quick turnaround , which mirrors the added value customers receive from working with REAL Aluminium .
REAL Aluminium ’ s ultra-slim aluminium door frame is the ideal companion for all Virtuoso composite doors including Virtu- AL – the UK ’ s first aluminium textured , non-woodgrain finish composite door . Homeowners can now match their aluminium window frames with the REAL composite door frame to achieve a sleek , consistent aluminium look .
John adds : “ These developments to the REAL Aluminium product range are a huge boost for our installer partners , helping them to really enhance their offering and bring more quality products to the homeowner . Time is money and installers don ’ t have time to shop around for all their products – the extended range from REAL Aluminium means they don ’ t have to . With all their aluminium products in one place and an incredible support package behind them , installers can look forward to selling more and growing their businesses .”

IF YOU HAVE A UNIQUE ENTRANCE , Force 8 has the frame and the door for you .
Dennis Sumner , Managing Director of Force 8 comments : “ We are the only company to be able to offer you fully and part arches that are suitable for any entrance . Every composite door that is available from Force 8 ’ s exclusive ranges can have an arched frame which will allow you to expand the choices that you can have .”
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 standard . There is also a low ally threshold available , giving better disability access .
“ Whatever style of entrance you have , our craftsmen at Force 8 are up to the challenge .
Our unique profile bending process produces un-blemished one section curves , enhancing any home . As we manufacture all our doors in our Hazel Grove factory , we can shape them to fit perfectly in our frames ”, comments Dennis .
Depending on the style of the arch , this allows for welds and steel reinforcements to be used where 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 has also recently developed the Versace door , which was based on a customer ’ s 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 can develop new ideas and designs that people want , the first rule of business is finding out what your customer needs are , and then delivering them .
Force 8 is well known nationwide for its renowned unique profile bending and arched composite doors . To back all this up , Force 8 can deliver products nationwide , so you are never far away from amazing service and arched composite doors .
