ANCHORING SYSTEMS
Standard anchoring systems are not provided with frames. All anchors must be specified and ordered.
  • Existing Wall – Pipe anchor or concealed anchor
  • T-Strap – For masonry construction
  • Wire Anchor – For masonry construction
  • Custom Anchor – Consult factory

FINISH

  • Gelcoat: 15 mils thick on all exposed surfaces. Color choice available.

SPECIAL NOTES

  • The installer may elect to use a silicone sealant to fill miter seam.
  • The factory may, by request, preassemble the frame unit. This requires that the installer still seals the miters in the field.
  • A 6" x 1-5/8" composite stop frame is available. Consult factory for specifications, installations, etc.

INSTALLATION
Though fiberglass material is extremely strong and forgiving, it will conform to the characteristics of the opening. If the surfaces to which the frame is attached are not square and free of torque, the installer will have difficulty in achieving a square and plumb installation.

LABELED FRAMES
Fiberglass frame systems are non-fire rated. Class I (E 84) is available.
