Segmented Panel Frames with
Stacking Sections (aluminum
frame) - Assembly
Note: Stacking sections with
"top frame" (aluminum frame)
are constructed of a four-sided
aluminum frame and contain
either glass, steel or perforated
steel inserts pre-installed at the
factory. they use separate vertical
stacking posts to hold the "top
frame" in place (Detail J,
page 53).
Note: Top frames must be
installed to vertical stacking posts
after all frame components and
exterior tiles are installed to lower
panel frames.
Caution: Placement of a 1”
square block of foam (customer
supplied) on top of the lower
panel frame is recommended to
avoid pinching fingers. Position
foam blocks prior to sliding top
frames down into place. Remove
the foam block after the top frame
has been lowered into position.
1. Carefully slide the top frame down
between the vertical stacking
posts (Figure 10).
2. Segmented trim rails must fit
between the lower panel tile and
the bottom of the top frame. Lift
the top frame up a few inches
then install two trim rails; one on
each side of the panel. Ensure the
large flange is oriented toward
the center of the panel. Carefully
lower the top frame onto the foam
blocks. Remove the foam blocks
to capture the trim rails in place
(Figure 10).
3. Ensure each top frame is installed
securely and even onto the lower
panels. Alignment along the
top of adjacent top frames must
be even for trim to fit properly
(Figure 10).
