CRL FH4BSS Brushed Stainless Single Floating Header for 36" Concealed Door Closers

CRL FH4BSS Brushed Stainless Single Floating Header for 36" Concealed Door Closers

C.R. Laurence FH4BSS Brushed Stainless Single Floating Header for Overhead Concealed Door Closers is the perfect solution for installations where traditional floor closers are not feasible. Designed specifically for 1/2" (12 mm) glass, this floating header allows for both glass-to-glass and glass-to-wall installations, accommodating overhead concealed door closers or pivots seamlessly. With six standard architectural finishes available, the FH4BSS not only fulfills functional requirements but also enhances aesthetic appeal, making it an ideal choice for modern spaces. Custom headers can be ordered to suit various configurations and glass thicknesses, ensuring versatility for unique project needs. It is essential to note that if the transom weight exceeds 100 lbs. (45.4 kg), additional support from the ceiling is necessary to avoid bowing. This can be achieved using B5BC Smoke Baffle Channel or PH94 Patch Fittings. Constructed with brushed stainless steel, the FH4BSS not only resists corrosion but also requires periodic maintenance to uphold its finish. This product is a reliable and stylish choice for building professionals and discerning homeowners looking to incorporate high-quality architectural elements into their designs.
