NO NEED TO PANIC FOR
COMPOSITE CUSTOMERS!
Force8 has had its range of composite
panic doors independently assessed and
certified.
The news from Force8 comes as the
latest report from Palmer Market Research
announces that composite doors have taken
the lead over PVC-U panel doors in the
domestic entrance door market.
MD Dennis Sumner and the entire Force8
team consistently strive to stay one step
ahead, and the certification of the company’s
composite panic doors demonstrates a
determination to offer a high spec safety
option for every sector as composite doors
continue to grow in popularity. The Stockportbased fabricator is one of the first companies
in the industry to have undergone stringent,
independent testing and had its doors officially
certified by BuildCheck.
Dennis Sumner explains: “With the added
safety features of a Panic Door, it is necessary
for them to be independently audited and
separately accredited to ensure the highest
safety standards are adhered to.
“All the Panic Doors we supply have their
DoP (Declaration of Performance) and have
passed the numerous inspections required by
law. Here at Force8, we have been providing
Panic Doors for more than five years now and
we use the best quality VEKA materials.”

IMPROVED RANGE OF COMPOSITE DOORS
Polyframe Composite Doors has recently
made some significant improvements to its
composite door product range.
Since starting to manufacture the Calder
Collection range of composite doors in
January the company has gone from strength
to strength, with sales far exceeding the initial
forecasts. Key to this success has been the
range of options available to customers and
to maintain this momentum Polyframe has
added more choices.
The range has been enhanced with the
addition of 1 new door style, 3 colour choices,
2 glass designs along with outer frame,
hardware and threshold additions.
‘Key to this success has
been the range of options
available to customers’
Peter Dyson, Polyframe Sales Director,
stated, “The new additions to the composite
door range will enable us to move to the next
level as a composite door manufacturer. We
have added Grey, Cream and Chartwell Green
colour options, along with black on white
outerframe, a new door style – Stainland and
two exciting new glass designs. We have also
added a low PVCu threshold and new colours
for hardware to the range. This means that we
can now offer 23 door styles, 14 decorative
glass designs, ten colour choices and six
hardware colour options. A comprehensive
offering that we are confident will cover all
options that our customers require.”

grain effect paint system,

alongside the industry standard
Golden Oak and Rosewood.
Guy Hubble, Joint Managing
Director of RegaLead
comments: “It’s important
to us to keep driving up the
quality of composite doors
by providing high quality
solutions for their decoration
and market research clearly
points to colour and finishes
popular in timber doors as
being one of the key drivers
in customers choosing retail
composite doors.
“Customers who have trialled
the new DoorColourTM
offering have already seen
success, in particular with the
heritage colours, and we believe
that the extended range of
woodgrain effects will prove
equally popular.”
