SmartHead, is a new and economical type of framing header that resolves a major problem for contractors – delayed shipping of welded, hollow metal frames. By simply installing a SmartHead, all framing, 95 percent of insulation, drywall, fascia and soffits, spackling and acoustical ceilings can be completed according to schedule.
The concept behind SmartHead is simple. By installing a SmartHead, contractors can sidestep delays caused by late deliveries of welded frames,” says Bruce Congdon, general manager of Duraframe, a major steel framing solutions provider and sole distributor of SmartHead. “SmartHead frames are engineered to provide flexibility on the jobsite. They feature an integral clip to fasten the header to the stud and a downward facing lower track to receive jamb studs. Construction proceeds as scheduled, and the welded frame can be installed after the walls are built.
