CRL FH4DUD Black Bronze Anodized Double Floating Header for 72" Concealed Door Closers

C.R. Laurence FH4DUD Black Bronze Anodized Double Floating Header for Overhead Concealed Door Closers is designed for installations where traditional floor closers cannot be utilized. This header accommodates 1/2" (12 mm) glass and is perfect for 72" wide openings, allowing seamless glass-to-glass or glass-to-wall installations with overhead concealed door closers or pivots. Crafted to enhance the aesthetic appeal of any space, the FH4DUD is available in six standard architectural finishes, with custom finishes available upon request. This flexibility ensures that your design vision can be realized without compromise. The floating header is particularly beneficial for settings with minimal floor thickness or special finishes, providing an elegant solution without the need for invasive floor modifications. It's important to note that if the weight of the transom above the header exceeds 100 lbs (45.4 kg), additional support from the ceiling is recommended to prevent bowing. For this, CRL offers options such as B5BC Smoke Baffle Channel or PH94 Patch Fittings. Overall, the C.R. Laurence FH4DUD Floating Header combines functionality and style, making it an ideal choice for building professionals and discerning homeowners alike.
