Our institutional, security-grade Soffi-Steel® System is the most convenient and reliable enclosure system available today! Our Soffi-Steel® System achieves unmatched protection through an inventive connecting ‘Snap-Lock’ system. This is created by the unique reverse curvature edge that occurs between previously installed shield clips and our soffit cover. A clean, tightly sealed system is further guaranteed by the “CON-SEAL-IT™” security sealant-retaining groove that assures the appropriate amount of sealant will be held in place. This innovative design renders our Soffi-Steel® System virtually irremovable while also advantageously eliminating the hidden placement of contraband. Furthermore, because our system comes pre-fabricated while utilizing only a few, standard hanging accessories, installation is an uncomplicated yet time efficient process.

We are confident that our interior utility cover will retain its security and aesthetics in the most abusive of environments; each purchase of our institutional grade Soffi-Steel® System comes standard with a 10-Year Limited Warranty.
