“Integrated Framing Assemblies: A New Bridge for ICF Construction and the Door and Hardware Industry”—Doors and Hardware (September 2008)

by J. Andrew Keith and Chris Keith

  • This article explains the relevance of IFAs for the door and hardware industries on commercial construction jobsites. That relevance stems from the fact that IFAs are prepped to receive hardware from the moment they arrive on the jobsite. Since they are placed prior to the construction of the concrete wall and remain in place after the pour, IFAs enable contractor to lock the site up sooner as well.
