ClarkWestern Building Systems is proud to bring you this innovative labor saving system that reduces the number of framing components required to frame a rough opening and significantly reduces the onsite labor to assemble multiple window or door structure.  Up to 50%!

 

What is RedHeader RO™

• Framing around a NON-LOAD BEARING Door or Window using single
  members in lieu of a built-up header or jamb system.
• Can be used for Exterior or Interior Framing.
• Header & Jamb system has:
  - Extra wide Flanges (3” and 3-1/2”)
  - Extra long Returns (1”)
• The new Drop’N Lock™ Clip is flush with jamb for a smooth drywall finish.
• System SAVES LABOR in Installation and Handling!

 

 

Save Labor on Multiple Openings

• No More Built-Up Jambs.
• Replace Lay-in & Boxed Headers.
• Adjustable Drop’N Lock™ Clip.
• Flat Surface for Drywall Finish.
• Reduces Material Pieces, Weight and Screws.
• Insulation Installs Quicker.
• Headers are Pre-Cut to Length and Marked RED to Identify Easily.
• SAVES LABOR – In Installation and Handling.

Construction Advantages:

• Eliminates built-up jambs and boxed or lay-in headers.
• Reduces material pieces and screws by up to 50%.
• The header quickly drops into the Drop ’N Lock™ Clip.
• Drop ’N Lock™ Clip’s adjustment slots allow for vertical
  field adjustments before fully attaching clip to jamb stud.
• Drop ’N Lock™ Clip width and narrower header reduce
  material build-up that pushes out the gypsum board,
  therefore helping eliminate additional corner bead taping costs.
• Eliminates capped members allowing drywall screws to
  drive through only one thickness of material.
• Header stud allows for easier fit of rigid insulation
  without additional cutting.
• Opened jamb stud does not require pre-insulating.
