Get the Appearance of New Framing Without Removing the Old Frame
The Special-Lite® SL-70 Capping System can be used with the 10-30 Series Insert Frame to completely cover rusted or deteriorated framing in place. Because old framing does not have to be removed, you save the time and expense of not only frame removal and disposal, but also any necessary repairs to adjoining walls and floors damaged during frame removal.
SL-70 capping is fabricated using .093" (2.4mm) thick 6063-T5 aluminum alloy extrusions for applications with frame depths of up to 6-3/4" (171mm). For frame depths greater than 6-3/4" (171mm) the SL-70 is formed from .062" (1.6mm) thick aluminum sheet stock and can be supplied in any dimensions required. The vertical sections of our SL-70 are notched to receive the horizontal section to completely conceal the old frame. Both the vertical and horizontal sections are delivered oversized so butt ends can be field trimmed for an exact fit.
