QuickFrames components can be used to support many shapes and sizes of roof curbs and roof or floor penetrations.  Here are some examples of typical frame designs .  Don't see yours here?  Send us your plans and we'll design your frames at no cost.[/induzy_vc_section_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1613676552455{margin-top: -100px !important;}"][vc_column][induzy_vc_section_title title_head="h2" title="Looking Under The Hood" sep_type="border"][/induzy_vc_section_title][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<span style="font-weight: 400;">Each QuickFrames system is comprised of rails (telescoping or fixed length), roof and floor connectors (hangers), rail connectors (angle brackets), and nuts and bolts.  With only a few limitations you can mix and match our rails and hangers to fit any number of building environments.</span>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator][induzy_vc_section_title title_head="h3" title="Rails"][/induzy_vc_section_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text]
