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.
