This is a widely specified trim type because of its concealed hanging system. The ¾" narrow C-4 trim line is extruded aluminum with a clear anodized finish. Aluminum framed boards come standard with wrapped and mitered safety corners. The 2-3/4" CRC-2B aluminum blade type pen/chalk tray comes with 3/4" radius safety corners. Specify on 1/2" particle board with moisture resistant backer sheet. 1" map rail with natural cork insert standard. 2" maprails are an available option.

See Color Chart for available markerboard and chalkboard surface color selections. Go to Tackable surfaces to see the tackboard options.
