CRL FH4BLD Black Powder Coated Double Floating Header for 72" Concealed Door Closers

CRL FH4BLD Black Powder Coated Double Floating Header for 72" Concealed Door Closers

C.R. Laurence FH4BLD Black Powder Coated Double Floating Header for Overhead Concealed Door Closers is an essential component for modern architectural designs, specifically tailored for 72" wide openings. Designed exclusively for 1/2" (12 mm) glass installations, this header provides an elegant solution where floor closers cannot be accommodated, making it ideal for projects with minimal floor thickness or special finishes. This versatile header supports both glass-to-glass and glass-to-wall configurations, allowing for seamless integration with CRL Overhead Concealed Door Closers or pivots. Available in six standard architectural finishes, custom finishes can also be ordered to meet the unique aesthetic requirements of your project. The FH4BLD features a robust construction, measuring 4 inches in width and 1-3/4 inches in height, ensuring durability and stability. However, it is crucial to note that if the transom above the header exceeds 100 lbs (45.4 kg), additional support from the ceiling is necessary to prevent bowing. This can be achieved using B5BC Smoke Baffle Channel or PH94 Patch Fittings. For architects, builders, and knowledgeable homeowners, the C.R. Laurence FH4BLD offers a reliable and stylish solution to enhance the functionality and appearance of glass door systems.
