Repeating infill pattern between struts as per project specification. PERIMETER ANGLE Main Runners and Structural Tees are utilized when installing with a floating detail in conjunction with Perimeter Angles. Perimeter Angles can be cut on site to desired length when assembled along perimeter walls. Perimeter Angles are bolted directly to the wall with appropriate fasteners for wall type.
