CRL FH4BLS Black Powder Coated Floating Header for 36" Concealed Door Closers

C.R. Laurence FH4BLS Black Powder Coated Single Floating Header for Overhead Concealed Door Closers is engineered for versatility and strength, specifically designed for 36" wide openings and 1/2" (12 mm) glass installations. This floating header is the ideal solution for projects where cutting into the floor for a floor closer is not feasible, making it perfect for various architectural applications. Crafted to support both glass-to-glass and glass-to-wall configurations, the FH4BLS allows for seamless integration of overhead concealed door closers or pivots. With six standard architectural finishes available, including a sleek black powder coating, it can complement any design aesthetic. Custom headers can also be ordered to accommodate varying glass thicknesses, lengths, and additional hardware requirements. It is essential to note that if the weight of the transom exceeds 100 lbs. (45.4 kg), proper ceiling support is necessary to prevent bowing of the header, utilizing either B5BC Smoke Baffle Channel or PH94 Patch Fittings. This floating header not only enhances the visual appeal of glass installations but also ensures functional integrity, making it a preferred choice for professionals in the architectural and construction industries. For expert assistance, consult with our Technical Sales Department to ensure optimal application and compliance with local regulations.
