Specialist bending company, Force 8, has added arched vertical sliders to its portfolio of products, using Rehau profile.
The overall design of the vertical slider features a 35mm meeting rail, together with full mechanical joints and run through sash horns.
Force 8 says it has invested heavily in the equipment required to create a one-piece bend without the need to weld. The smallest arch that it can manufacture with a one-piece bend is a 300mm radius.
“Vertical sliders are one of our premium products, but they can be difficult to manufacture, and any mistake can be costly. With a grained finish, having to use welds can destroy the overall aesthetics but as we’ve constantly developed our one-piece bending technique, we’ve found a way not to destroy the design,” commented Dennis.
