Title: Making Pocket Door Installation & Maintenance Access Easy
Content Description: FD80 Soft-Open / Soft-Close Pocket Door System FD80 is a soft-open/soft-close pocket door system that delivers superior performance, great durability, and effortless pocket door installation and maintenance.  A Fully Accessible Design: No More Breaking the Pocket Wall for Access! Click here for Video  The FD80 Pocket Door System is a two-track system: one track segment for the doorway opening, and one track segment for the doorway pocket, positioned in series to form a single, long track.  What this means is that all the components are accessible from the opening. Anytime you need to make an adjustment, you simply take off the track segment from the opening section, then take your door out. All the components can then be serviced. To remove the door, simply remove the track from the opening section, which will give you complete access to the internal track. It’s that easy! With this convenient design, the pocket door installation and maintenance problem has finally been cracked! You will no longer have to break your pocket wall, which can be a nightmare. Elegant Soft-Open & Soft-Close Pocket Door Design Feature The FD80 Pocket Door System has a built-in soft-open and soft-close feature. Thanks to this it is actually very easy to engage and open, unlike many pocket door systems. For a truly smooth-performing, easy to use soft-open / soft-close pocket door system that the operator won’t have to think about or fiddle with, you want the FD80. Easy, Secure Pocket Door Installation that Doesn’t Require Future Adjustments For the FD80 Pocket Door System, installation is both a breeze and superior to standard pocket door installation methods. Unlike traditional pocket door systems, where the triggers for the stops are fastened to the track with a set screw, these triggers are actually fastened through the track and into your header, which means that they will not move on you, and will not require any future adjustments. Two Mounting Options Available The FD80 Pocket Door System comes with two options on how to attach the rollers to the top of your door. There’s the surface mount option, which is the traditional way of doing a pocket door installation, where the roller bracket is surface-mounted to the top of your door. And then we also have the recess mount application, where the roller brackets are actually recessed or bored onto the top of your door, for a more clean, aesthetic look. Specifications The FD80 Pocket Door System has a load capacity of 176 pounds per door. The minimum door thickness required is 1-3/16”.

MAKING POCKET DOOR INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE ACCESS EASY

Title: A Guide to help you find the right ColorRite product for your project!
Content Description:   How soon will my order ship? Most orders ship within 48 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 5 business days for Specialty and Custom colors. Expedited delivery services are available upon request. How will my order ship? ColorRite orders daily via FedEx or a Common Carrier LTL. Orders ship daily via FedEx. Most products ship the same day the order is received. Larger orders may ship by Common Carrier LTL. ColorRite DOES NOT ship via USPS or UPS. What product is best for outdoor applications? We recommend using Color Rite (acrylic). Color Rite is paintable within one hour, whereas pure silicone caulks can never be painted. Silicone Caulks (Color Sil, Poly-Sil, and TR-800 Series) are oil-based and tend to bleed an oily residue, which will attract dirt and grime over time. Color Sil can be used on exterior applications on a case-by-case basis. Please contact ColorRite directly at (616) 245-4415 or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to help determine which product is right for your application. Can I use any ColorRite products on sidewalks, driveways, patios, or around my pool? None of our products are approved to be used below grade or underwater. Color Rite (acrylic) is recommended for most exterior applications, but Color Sil (silicone) may be preferred in some cases. For Exterior applications, we recommend using caulk on vertical surfaces only: around doors, windows, siding, etc…*Some surfaces may require sealing before applying caulk to reach optimal adhesion. What will remove the old caulk/sealant? Latex/Acrylic : Many home improvement stores carry products to help remove, such as a caulk removal tool. For residual acrylic caulk left behind, mineral spirits or lacquer thinner may be used, taking great care not to damage your substrate. Silicone : Silicone can be carefully scraped away with a razor blade, putty knife or other tool, taking great care not to damage your substrate. Silicone residue may also be removed with lacquer thinner on some surfaces. ALWAYS test in an inconspicuous area before using any chemicals, tools, or cleaning products on any surface! It is best to contact the manufacturer of your substrate to determine your best options for cleaning or residue removal. Which product is better to use around my bathtub or shower surround? We recommend using our silicone products – Color Sil, Polysil, TR-800 series for all wet applications. We DO NOT recommend using Color Rite (acrylic) in shower or tub areas. For the best look, try our Color Sil- Sanded finish silicone to match the look of your Sanded grout, or our Color Sil – Satin finish silicone to mimic the look of unsanded grout! Which product is better to use on floor applications? We recommend using Color Rite (acrylic). It dries firm, yet flexible, has great adhesion and is water clean-up. It has better durability for foot traffic and does not collect dust, dirt, or debris. Will your products adhere to my existing caulk? Yes, but only as long as the existing caulk is not a silicone. It should also be dry, clean and free of any dust, dirt or debris. Also make sure it is not crumbling and/or losing adhesion. Are any of your products waterproof? All of our silicone products (Color Sil, Poly-Sil and TR-800 Series) are waterproof, airtight, mold and mildew resistant, and will not shrink, crack or peel. Can I paint over any of your products? Color Rite: Yes, within one hour of installation. Color Sil: No. Paint will not adhere to pure silicone caulks. PolySil: No. Paint will not adhere to pure silicone caulks. TR-800 Series: No. Paint will not adhere to pure silicone caulks. The color of the Color Rite in the tube does not match the color I ordered. Why? Color Rite (acrylic) will dry darker. Please allow at least one hour of drying time to see the true color. All in-house color matches are done using the dried, fully cured color to ensure the best color match. Why are there pin holes, or small gaps in the Color Rite bead I just installed? These pinholes are called caulk blisters. These are created by the improper application of the caulk bead that encapsulates small air pockets which are not filled during the tooling procedure. As the caulk cures, these blisters open up and are seen as small pin-sized holes. Color Rite should be used to fill the void completely, from the bottom up to avoid air pockets. Using our Perfect Bead Tool minimizes this problem. A second application may be made to fill in any gaps 24 hours after first installation. Is Color Rite available in a sanded version? Yes, in 10.5 oz cartridges only. Simply order using the grout manufacturer, item number and color name. You can place all orders here. When applying masking tape along the sides of a gap, void, or seam; how long should I wait to remove the tape? We recommend you remove the masking tape immediately after tooling. Immediate removal will keep the caulk from curing and adhering to the tape. If installing silicone, try our Mist and The Perfect Bead Tool. It can make silicone as easy to install as water based adhesives and does the clean-up as you do the tooling! Are your products freeze/thaw stable? Color Rite (acrylic): YES! Color Rite acrylic caulk will cycle (freeze/thaw) 5 times before deteriorating or losing stabilizing properties. Poly-Sil, Color Sil, & TR-800 (silicone): YES! Our silicone products show NO signs of deterioration when exposed to freezing temperatures, even for extended periods of time. In fact, our silicone will not freeze, and the cooler temperature actually helps to extend the shelf life. We recommend freezing your product before and after use if you would like to extend its life and usability. *All products should be allowed to acclimate to room temperature before installation for optimal results. What is the cure time for silicone products? Color Sil, Poly-Sil and TR-800 Series – Skin over begins within 5 minutes of application. Tooling should be done in a timely manner to avoid skin over. These products dry to touch in 1 hour, and cure and bond in 24 hours. Allow 7 days for maximum cure. We recommend you keep moisture away from it for 24 hours. Curing time will depend upon bead size, humidity, temperature etc. What is the difference between Poly-Sil and Color Sil? Color Sil is a solid color silicone available in three finishes (Smooth, Sanded, Satin) Poly-Sil is a unique formulation utilizing different colored particulates suspended in a translucent base. This product is multi-colored. What is the PH level of Mist? Mist has a PH level of 10 (Neutral is 7 and water is 8-9). We love the ColorRite brand for its quality, customization, and variety of products to meet your projects’ unique needs. Contact us for a quote on large projects that require 2+ cases of ColorRite.
