The Colossus

Traditional composite doors often fall short literally when it comes to reaching the peak of an arched frame. Installers typically resort to using fillers above the door to complete the arch (as the blue example door pictured), which can compromise both aesthetics and functionality. The Colossus, with its additional 400mm in height, resolves this issue effortlessly, with extended locks and four hinges providing a more cohesive and visually appealing finish.

While the full 2.4-metre height showcases the door’s impressive capabilities, it’s not always a necessity. Force 8 understands the need for flexibility in design and installation, which is why the Colossus is also available without an arch. This gives installers greater versatility and more options when quoting for projects, particularly when it’s a larger entrance.

This latest innovation highlights Force 8’s unrivalled expertise in crafting seamless arched frames without welds, paired with perfectly matching arched composite doors, an offering unique in the UK market. Enhancing this precision, Force 8’s in-house paint facility allows both the frame and the door to be painted simultaneously, ensuring a flawless colour match and a cohesive finish. 

“To our knowledge, no other UK manufacturer offers the complete package an arched frame and matching composite door, manufactured and finished together,” comments Lisa Mottershead operations director at Force 8. “In most cases, installers are forced to source the frame and door separately, which not only increases the margin for error but also makes colour matching a challenge.”

The Colossus isn’t just a larger door; it’s a revolutionary innovation for installers and homeowners seeking a bold, cohesive entrance solution without compromise. With Force 8’s commitment to quality, precision, and innovation, the Colossus is set to become a standout choice for the larger entrances in the composite door market.
