Following months of continuous product development, leading composite door manufacturer Force 8 has now completed its trio of size innovations with the launch of its latest creation, the Wide Door. This new addition joins the already successful ‘Short Door’, ideal for service entrances, and the ‘Colossus’, which at its maximum is an extra 300mm taller than the standard door height. No fillers needed for taller entrances, particularly useful on an arched entrance. Together, these three designs represent a bold reimagining of entrance solutions, tailored to meet the evolving needs of the market.
The new Wide Door is up to a maximum of 1200mm in width, making it an ideal solution for applications where enhanced accessibility and practicality are key. Designed with both residential and commercial environments in mind, the wider format significantly improves ease of access for individuals with limited mobility, including wheelchair users. Additionally, it offers an elegant and functional solution for situations requiring the movement of large or bulky items, such as furniture and equipment, a common challenge in properties with tight entryways or awkward hallway angles.
With the demand for larger entrance spaces increasing across both new builds and renovation projects, Force 8’s Wide Door responds directly to growing specification requirements. This innovation is not only timely but reflects broader industry trends favouring inclusive design and user-friendly architecture.
Lisa Mottershead, Operations Director at Force 8, commented, “we are always looking for ways to enhance our products and respond to real-world challenges. Although the concept behind the Wide Door is relatively simple, its impact is far-reaching. It provides a practical solution to a problem that many homeowners and specifiers face — access. Whether it’s accommodating mobility aids or manoeuvring large items through narrow spaces, this new design ticks all the boxes.
“At Force 8, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers and delivering solutions that combine innovation with functionality. The Wide Door is yet another example of our commitment to customer-centric design and problem-solving.”
As a company renowned for its bespoke composite door solutions, Force 8 continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in entranceway design. Their ability to innovate within standard formats, while maintaining their reputation for quality craftsmanship and performance, is what sets Force 8 apart in a competitive market.
With the Short Door, Colossus, and now the Wide Door, Force 8 has created a comprehensive suite of solutions that cater to a diverse range of property requirements. Whether for matching utility doors, dramatic tall entrances, or accessible wider formats, Force 8’s portfolio now covers it all.
