DOOR AND WINDOW FRAMING

All material CP60.
*Header width is 1/8" less than jamb depth to fit inside Drop 'N Lock clip.
Rough openings made easy.
RedHeader RO™ can cut your labor time in half. It’s designed to replace
conventional boxed or lay-in headers and built-up jambs and provide better
results in half the time. One-piece headers and jambs eliminate the additional
studs, tracks, and screws required to frame conventional rough openings.
Headers and jambs are also pre-cut to specified lengths to eliminate field
cutting. The adjustable Drop ’N Lock™ clip makes field adjustments a snap and
provides a flat surface for a smooth drywall finish. Save on framing time, save
on drywall finishing time, and use about half the materials that conventional
rough opening framing methods require.
