T14650 Series
T14650 Series has the same design, assembly and accessories as 14000 Series, but with a 6-1/2-inch frame depth. The additional 2-inch depth on the interior side provides increased structure, which allows for taller first floor openings.The wider profile also gives the product a more distinctive appearance that is more like curtain wall framing.
Curtain Wall
200 Series
