Key Features & Benefits

Reinforced Construction for Daily Cycles

Universal 225 sections incorporate reinforced meeting rails and a truss-style reinforcement system to support consistent operation over time.

Durable Steel with Woodgrain Texture

Hot-dipped galvanized steel with a pre-painted, embossed woodgrain surface helps maintain a clean, classic appearance and reduces the visibility of minor wear.

Stronger Section Support with Stiles

Vertical stiles use galvanized I-beam members at center and ends, formed to encapsulate the pan and bonded/riveted to the interior face for added support.

Bottom Section Support and Weather Seal Readiness

Bottom sections are reinforced with an aluminum “L” angle and designed to support a replaceable, UV-protected bottom weather seal.

Hardware Built for Reliable Tracking

Hot-dipped galvanized hinges and nylon rollers support smooth travel, with upgrade pathways available for heavier-duty hardware packages.
