Eco-Guard 450 Frontset Storefront Window

Both are part of ECO's commercial storefront family, but the 450 is the lighter 4 in. Frontset profile rated at +80/-90 psf, while the Series 400 is a heavier 5 in. window-wall system rated at +80/-130 psf. We spec the 400 where higher negative design pressure is required and the 450 where the lighter Frontset profile fits the opening. We'll confirm which profile your project needs at the time we quote.

The Eco-Guard 450 Frontset is rated at +80/-90 psf as a modular window-wall system. Individual panels run up to 60.75 in. wide by 108 in. tall. We field-measure each opening and confirm the design pressure required for your wind zone before ordering, since the final rating depends on the configuration and the opening.

Yes. The Eco-Guard 450 is Large Missile Impact (LMI) rated and HVHZ approved, so it's cleared for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone openings in Miami-Dade and Broward. It carries Florida Product Approval FL21632, the same approval as the Series 400 window. We pull and confirm the active approval for your jurisdiction as part of permitting.

Yes. The Eco-Guard 450 offers an aluminum-slats shutter option, which adds a layer of solid protection over the impact glass for commercial fronts that want it. Because the 450 is already LMI impact-rated and HVHZ approved on FL21632, the shutter is supplemental rather than required. We'll review whether a shutter makes sense for your storefront when we quote.

Installed cost depends on the size of the opening, how the panels are configured into the window-wall, the glass package, and the condition of the existing structure. The 450 is a commercial storefront system, so pricing reflects the larger spans and impact rating rather than a residential window.

Storefront is a heavier-walled aluminum system built for the larger spans, higher duty cycles, and code requirements of commercial ground floors and mixed-use buildings, where a residential window would run out of span or rating. ECO's commercial line includes the 5-inch Series 400 window-wall, the lighter 4-inch Series 450 Frontset, and matching storefront doors. We use these where a project's openings, occupancy, or door traffic call for a commercial assembly.

Yes. The storefront windows (Series 400, 450) and doors (Series 800, 810) use Eco-Guard laminated impact glass on aluminum and carry large-missile and small-missile impact approval, eligible for Miami-Dade and Broward HVHZ installation. The windows run under Florida Product Approval FL21632 and the doors under FL39630, with the Series 400 reaching about +80/-130 psf. We confirm ratings against the project's structural calcs on the quote.

Yes. ECO's residential aluminum impact lines carry Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance and Florida Product Approvals, which makes them eligible to install in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade and Broward counties). The exact wind ratings depend on the specific series, size, and configuration, so we confirm the right product for your opening on the quote. We pull the permit and submit the approval documents as part of every job.
