System 40 - 1 3/4" x 4 1/2" Framing

Marlin storefront framing systems feature heavy wall (3/32") rugged aluminum extrusions. Appearance and durability make Marlin the ideal choice for storefront performance.

Unitized assembly saves fabrication and installation time. This screw spline method utilizes two piece snap together vertical mullions, so the storefront arrives assembled at the jobsite ready to install.

System 40 has 1 3/4" x 4 1/2" frame members that are flush glazed with 3/16" or 1/4" glazing. This system is primarily used for vestibules or interior applications.

System 40 offers door jambs, headers, and thresholds to accept any narrow, medium, or wide stile aluminum entrance package. Also available are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" corner mullion, sill flashing and head compensation channel for header deflection.
