quickframe®
Designed to streamline rough opening framing, the QuickFrame® metal stud header system offers a pre-cut, high-performance alternative to traditional built-up headers.
The QuickFrame® Rough Opening System is a pre-engineered metal stud box header solution that streamlines installation by reducing the number of components required to frame windows and doors.
The system comes in extra wide flanges and extra-long returns and can be used for exterior or interior framing around any non-load bearing opening.
Simply attach the header and jamb with our easy-to-use QuickFrame Clip for quick installation.
A single QuickFrame member can replace built-up headers and jambs, reducing jobsite labor assembly time by up to 50%.

FAQS
Why Choose the QuickFrame® Rough Opening System?
Framing rough openings with traditional built-up headers and jambs often involves multiple components, added labor, and the risk of inconsistent field assembly. Each piece must be measured, cut, and installed on-site, increasing the chance of delays and errors.
To address these challenges, QuickFrame® offers a pre-cut solution that eliminates unnecessary complexity. Instead of multiple framing components, it uses a single-member system that simplifies installation. As a result, contractors can reduce the number of materials required, speed up framing, and minimize on-site adjustments.
In addition, QuickFrame® is ideal for contractors looking to streamline the installation process and improve jobsite efficiency without compromising strength or performance.
