sizes, Matrix lets you integrate them just

about anywhere, no matter the space

limitations. Design around difficult space

restrictions and perfectly meet your needs.

Escape from the traditional flat-front

overhead storage design with the Radius

overhead unit. Offered in both solid or

perforated steel patterns, with an avail-

able easy-down mechanism, the Radius

overhead adds an element of style and

design that compliments the radius

shape of the Matrix panel trim.

Panel mounted sliding doors are a

perfect way to create a semi-private

office environment using standard

height panels.

Available for 36", 42" and 48" width

openings, and 66" and 82" heights,

the ultra light aluminum screen frame,

and durable transparent nylon glide

wheel result in a user-friendly and

practical design. The universal design

mounts to the left or right, front or back

of the panel. A variety of standard

opaque and semi-opaque screen styles

are available, as well a standard

insert design that makes the use of

COM materials a snap.
