Eco Series 870 Aluminum Sectional Garage Door

Yes. Every section is glazed with 5/16 in. laminated glass built from two 1/8 in. heat-strengthened lites bonded by a 0.090 in. PVB interlayer, the same laminated construction used in impact windows. That makes the full-view door rated for both large and small missile impact, not just the frame. There's no trade-off between the all-glass look and the protection.

The 870 is rated at +45/-50 psf, the positive and negative wind load the assembly is engineered to resist, with both Large and Small Missile Impact approval under FL47490. That's a step up from the +40/-45 psf rating on ECO's 850-series doors. We verify the design pressure your specific opening requires for its wind zone before we order the door.

The 870 is the full-view model, with laminated glass in every one of its 4 to 6 sections of 36 in. panels, and it carries a higher +45/-50 psf rating under FL47490; the 850-12 and 850-16 are rated +40/-45 psf under FL40247. If you want the all-glass facade, the 870 is the one to spec. We'll measure your opening and confirm which door fits the height and wind load your home needs.

Pick the 870 if you want the full-view look, with laminated glass in every section, up to 194 by 144 in. at +45/-50 psf. The 875 is the heavy-duty sibling, reaching 218 by 144 in. at +45/-55 psf, and it lets you mix glass sections with solid slat sections or go all solid. We walk through both with you at the estimate and spec the one that matches your opening size, wind load, and the look you're after.

The biggest price drivers are the size of your opening, since the 870 scales up to 194 by 144 in., and the fact that every section is laminated impact glass, which makes glazing the largest share of the cost. The opener you pair with it and any prep work on the existing opening also factor in. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate that covers the door, opener, and installation for your exact opening.

The garage door is usually the largest opening in the wall, and if it fails in a storm the pressure that floods into the garage can lift the roof and blow out other openings from inside. An impact-rated garage door is engineered to hold against both windborne debris and that pressure, which is why South Florida code treats it as part of the building envelope. ECO's sectional aluminum garage doors are built for exactly that role.

Yes. The Series 850-12 and 850-16 (labeled E870 on ECO's page) are impact-rated sectional aluminum doors carrying large-missile impact approval under Florida Product Approval FL40247, eligible for Miami-Dade and Broward HVHZ installation. They're rated about +40/-45 psf — design pressures for a large door opening read lower than a small window, which is normal. We confirm the right model for your opening size 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.
