This document summarizes the history and benefits of QuickFrames, an adjustable bolt-on roof framing system invented by Jay Soyko in 2001. Some key points: - QuickFrames were invented in 2001 after Soyko had an accident with a traditional welded frame. The system received a patent in 2004 and Soyko Industries LLC was formed in 2011. - The frames are bolt-on, patented, adjustable and pre-engineered to support roof openings like skylights, drains and exhaust fans. They provide benefits like lower costs, faster installation, reduced risk of fire, and increased productivity over traditional welded frames. - Over 2,500 frames were sold by 2012 and QuickFrames have become

Able Steel Fabricators
“On our recent project of a 1.3 million square
foot warehouse, utilizing QuickFrames
allowed us to exceed the initial schedule by 4
weeks. When you’re talking minutes as
opposed to hours to install a frame that has
adjustment capabilities if there is a problem,
[it] was an easy decision for us. We will never
go back to the old way.”

21. Nikki Wood, Project Estimator
Bell Steel
“The entire process with QuickFrames was smooth and
easy. I called them and they immediately were on top of
handling my order. They personally came to our location to
get the information on what we needed, took the time to
confirm the details were accurate, and got it ordered. The
project went quickly and QuickFrames was able to
accommodate everything we asked for, even up to last
minute changes. By using QuickFrames, a ton of my shop
time was freed up, and the end result looks great. The
frames blend into the roof seamlessly and if I need to move
them, I can do so in a snap.
I will choose QuickFrames every time over traditional
frames.”
