Flexible Framing Sytem
Flex-Ability Concepts
While Flex-C Trac has become a benchmark product for framing curves, its offspring has not been as
widely known. Even while living in the shadows of framing masterpieces of his big brother, Flex-C Angle has been shaping its own place in architectural history and edifices. Flex-C Angle is used in many of the more spectacular and eye-catching features, and in these, is actually performing amazingly efficiently. When a curved soffit has an exterior curved corner, where two perpendicular framing components meet, Flex-C Angle is just the product for the job. So remember, for walls, Flex-C Trac, for soffits Flex-C Angle. The line is available in both 20 and
16 gauge. To learn more, visit flexabilityconcepts.com.
