Drywall Frames
CURRIES drywall frames are available in 18,
16, or 14 gauge cold-rolled steel. These frames are manufactured to
provide clean, sharp lines, rigid corner construction and fine miter
lines on all joints. They are designed to go into an opening after the
wall is up, and they are avaliable to accommodate practically any wall
thickness. All frames receive a factory baked-on coat of rust inhibitive
primer, and are also available with factory baked-on enamel. (Request
our paint selector card.) They can be used in drywall construction using
steel studs, wood studs or laminated boards. Frames are available for
either 1-3/8" (35) or 1-3/4" (44) thick doors.
Narrow Face Frames
CURRIES offers pre-engineered, knock-down (KD)
drywall frames with face dimensions of 1-1/2" (38) or 1-3/4"
(44).
Frame Sizes
Frame sizes are to match door sizes, in any
combination of singles or pairs. Non-standard width or height frames
are available on special order. Double-rabbet profiles are available
with 4" face heads.
