Enhancing its StormMax storefront system, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope’s new hurricane-resistant system provides on-demand product evaluation documents for both Florida and Texas, to facilitate installation and approval. The FG-5700, FG-5750 and FG-5750T systems include additional infill options, 12-ft. frame heights and simplified anchoring. Combined with both inside and outside glazing options, as well as pre-glazing, the systems offer maximum flexibility, and have been tested to Florida Building Code standards, particularly for High Velocity Hurricane Zones, to offer Category 5 protection. The line replaces OBE’s FG-5000, FG-5100 and FG-5100T storefront systems. The systems have been tested to Florida Building Code Standards, as well as for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones, to offer Category 5 protection.
