Based in West Yorkshire and manufacturing from their purpose-built Keighley factory, Directform Plastics are suppliers to the domestic, residential and commercial sectors.

The following products have achieved Police Preferred Specification, demonstrating Directform Plastics’ commitment to high-quality, secure products:

Doors

  • Rehau 70 PVC-U Doorset Range
  • Rehau Total 70 Residential Composite Doorset Range

Windows

  • Rehau 70 PVC-U Casement Window Range

Cain Canning, Directform Plastics, said: “It’s great to renew and give my customers peace of mind and confidence that the product in which we supply has the full approval from an official security initiative of SBD with police backing.”

Alfie Hosker, Secured by Design, commented: “This is the second time that Directform Plastics have renewed their SBD membership with us since joining in 2018. They have recently transitioned all their Police Preferred Specification range of doorsets and windows to PAS24:2022 with ER Certification Ltd. I know this will be another successful period of association with us over the coming years.”

Secured by Design (SBD) is owned by the UK Police Service with the specific aim of reducing crime and increasing safety for businesses and individuals.

SBD seeks to improve the physical security of buildings and the surrounding area using products such as doors, windows, locks and walling systems along with fencing systems that meet the SBD Police Preferred Specification security requirements.

SBD have many partner organisations, ranging from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities through to local authorities, housing associations, developers and manufacturers and work closely with standards and certification bodies.

SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK, through the Police Preferred Specification - a product-based accreditation scheme developed 25 years ago, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that effectively deter and reduce crime. SBD work with manufacturers and standards authorities to ensure that security standards are current and updated to keep pace with emerging crime trends.
