Hinged Framing Components:
Z frame
L Frame
T post
All mitred frame will be supplied pre-cut, and where applicable, mitred frame are held
together with corner Stake which is supplied loose for the installer to fit on site. This will
allow for easy assembly of the frame prior to installation, and will hold the mitre together.
Pop rivets are require to assemble the frame.
Where T-posts are used, each panel within the opening will be manufactured at the same
width. If specific T-post measurements are provided, the panels will be manufactured to fit
within those T-post measurements.
Fixed Panels Framing Components:
24mm bottom u channel
50mm top u channel
T mullion
Fixed panels use a 50mm U channel at the top and a 24mm U channel at the bottom of
the opening; once the channels are installed, the panels are lifted up into the top channel,
and then allowed to slip down into the bottom channel. 24mm U CHANNELS are supplied
as light blocks for each side of the opening, T mullion are used between panels when there
is more than one panel in the opening.
As the smallest opening size is provided for all inside mount openings, the channels and
mullion are provided oversize so that they will still fit at the largest point on out-of-square
openings. These are cut to exact size on site. Once installed, panels should be fixed to the
top and bottom U channels with rivets, to ensure a strong fitting in high wind or storm
conditions.
Frame Length
All framing components are supplied at a maximum length of 3000mm. When a frame is
required to be longer than 3000mm, the frame will be supplied split in two pieces. Split
frames will need to be manually aligned during installation. The customer should be made
aware that the join line will be visible after installation.
