Trifab® 451UT Framing System

The Trifab® 451UT Framing System is engineered for the most demanding thermal performance by employing a “dual” thermal break. A perfect choice for single-span storefront, ribbon window or punched openings, this screw spline fabricated system has center set glass and a pre-glazed option. The Trifab® 451UT Framing System offers a pre-glaze option for the existing center set screw spline assembly application, available on non-thermal, thermal and ultra-thermal frame types. Pre-glaze units can be completely fabricated and glazed in the shop, minimizing job-site costs and enhancing field-installed quality.
