Features

Reinforced Section Design

Tongue-and-groove meeting rails are roll-formed into the panel and built around the RITS reinforcement system. This design supports a tighter section interface and improved rigidity during operation.

Durable Interior Support

Vertical stile members are formed from 19-gauge hot-dipped galvanized I-beams for center and end stiles, designed to encapsulate the pan. Stiles are riveted and bonded to the interior face using an epoxy-based cement.

Bottom Section Reinforcement + Weather Seal Support

Bottom sections are reinforced with an aluminum “L” angle bonded to the section to support a replaceable UV-protected bottom weather seal helping maintain a clean threshold seal and supporting long-term usability.

Hardware Built for Residential Performance

Hinges are hot-dipped galvanized, using wide-body end roller hinges and interior hinges in 14/16 gauge. Rollers are 2-inch black nylon, with optional white nylon available. Additional hardware options are available for upgraded packages.
