ECO series compared: Eco-Guard vs ECO-NOVO and every line.

ECO's range: Eco-Guard and ECO-NOVO.

ECO makes two lines of aluminum impact windows and doors. Eco-Guard is the main line, with a model for nearly every opening, from basic single-hungs to pivot, bifold and glass garage doors. ECO-NOVO is a newer series of eight products with Florida approvals first issued in 2025. Every ECO window and door carries a Florida Product Approval for use inside and outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The biggest difference between the lines is how they handle missile ratings: many Eco-Guard series split large and small missile into separate approved products, while each ECO-NOVO product covers both in one approval.

Single-hung: Series 50, 100, 150 and ECO-NOVO 175.

The Series 50 is the entry-level Eco-Guard single-hung, with a 2-1/8 in. frame and 5/16 in. laminated glass, approved for large missile. The Series 100 and Series 150 both have large- and small-missile versions in Florida approval FL40096-R5. The Series 100 is ECO's everyday single-hung with a 2-3/4 in. frame. The Series 150 has a deeper 3-3/8 in. frame, goes up to 96 in. tall and carries a higher negative rating, which suits tall openings and high-exposure walls. The ECO-NOVO Series 175 covers large and small missile in one product at +70/-70 psf. Ratings drop as size goes up, so the drawing for the exact size governs. See our Impact Single-Hung Window page.

Horizontal rolling: Series 60, 200, 250 and ECO-NOVO 275.

The Series 60 is the entry-level Eco-Guard roller, with a 2-1/8 in. frame and 5/16 in. laminated glass; it covers large and small missile in the same product. The Series 200 and 250 come in two- and three-panel layouts, with large- and small-missile versions in Florida approval FL40097-R5. The Series 200 has a 2-3/4 in. frame and suits openings up to about 60 in. tall. The Series 250 has a deeper 3-3/8 in. frame and goes to 76 in. tall and 120 in. wide in its XOX layout. Both are rated +80/-90 psf, but the Series 250 drawing allows higher pressures on smaller units. The ECO-NOVO Series 275 covers both missile sizes in one product. See our Impact Sliding Window page.

Fixed windows: Series 300, 350 and the shapes.

ECO makes more fixed windows than any other window type. The Series 300 is a concealed-fastener fixed window in rectangles and custom shapes, with a 2-3/4 in. frame; it suits picture windows, transoms and arched or angled shapes beside operable windows. The Series 350 is ECO's deepest fixed window, with a 3-3/8 in. frame, for large picture openings and tall shaped glass. Both have separate large- and small-missile versions in Florida approval FL32389-R7. The Series 300 drawing allows heat-strengthened or tempered laminated glass with PVB; the Series 350 takes PVB or SentryGlas interlayers, or 15/16 in. insulated laminated glass. The ECO-NOVO Series 375 covers both missile sizes in one approval. See our Impact Picture Window page.

• Series 70: fixed / architectural window, large missile (drawing 32389.1).
• Series 550: fixed casement-look window, with large- and small-missile versions (drawings 32389.7 and 32389.8).
• ECO-NOVO Series 595: fixed casement-look window, large and small missile in one product (FL47225).
• Series 610 (610FS) and Series 620 (620FS): aluminum fixed windows, large missile (drawings 32389.9 and 32389.10).

Casement and awning: Series 500, 560 and ECO-NOVO 575 and 585.

The Series 500 is a crank-out casement with a stainless operator and multipoint lock. It suits kitchens, bathrooms and spots that need full ventilation, and it has large- and small-missile versions. The Series 560 is a top-hinged, outward-opening awning with a center operator, for ventilation above or below fixed glass, and is approved for large missile. Both have 2-3/4 in. frames and 5/16 in. HS/HS laminated glass as standard. The ECO-NOVO Series 575 casement and Series 585 awning each cover large and small missile in one approval. See our Impact Casement Window page and our Impact Awning Window page.

Sliding doors: Series 700, 750 and ECO-NOVO 775.

All three are approved in Florida for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The Series 700 is ECO's main slider, approved in 2-, 3- and 4-track layouts, with an E700-3 version offered in a pocket configuration. The Series 750 is a 2-track door whose reinforced astragal reaches -130 psf, the strongest negative rating among ECO's sliders. The newer ECO-NOVO 775 covers the biggest openings, up to 120 in. tall and eight panels on four tracks, at lower design pressures. On the 700 and 750, positive load is limited to +47 psf with the 2 in. sill. The Series 755 adds a 3-track slider with large- and small-missile versions under FL25674-R8. See our Impact Sliding Glass Door page and our Impact Multitrack Sliding Door page.

French and outswing doors: Series 600, 950 and ECO-NOVO 675.

All three are hinged outswing doors in single or double configurations, approved in Florida for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The Series 600 is ECO's main French door: up to 98 in. tall, with sidelites, large- and small-missile versions and the highest published rating of the three. The Series 950 goes to 108 in. tall with a crest-style handle set, but is approved for large missile only. The newer ECO-NOVO 675 covers door heights up to 120 in. and is rated for both missile sizes in one approval. FL39630-R5 is the approved revision for the Eco-Guard doors; a revision, FL39630-R6, is pending. See our Impact Entry Door page.

• Series 650: outswing French and entrance door for commercial use, large missile (drawing 39630.5).
• Series 810: outswing door for homes and commercial buildings, also used as a storefront door, large missile (drawing 39630.7).
• Series 845: aluminum outswing door, large missile (drawing 39630.8).
• Series 800: commercial outswing entrance and storefront door, large missile (drawing 39630.6).

Pivot and bifold: Series 1500 and Series 900.

The Series 1500 is a pivot door, outswing or inswing, with matching sidelites and transoms. Its frame is 4-9/16 in. deep, and it suits statement front entries. A unit reaches 60 x 110-5/8 in. without a transom and 60 x 144 in. with one. The Series 900 is an outswing bifold with up to 10 panels, each up to 39-9/16 in. wide and 108 in. tall, for opening a living area fully to a patio. Both use 7/16 in. HS/HS laminated glass as standard with a 1 in. insulated option, both are approved for large missile, and both are rated to a maximum of +/-60 psf. See our Impact Pivot Door page.

Garage doors, window walls and storefront.

ECO also builds glass garage doors and commercial framing. The Series 850 is a glass sectional garage door with drawings for 12 ft and 16 ft doors. The Eco-Guard Series 870 and 875 sectional garage doors cover large and small missile in one approval, and the Series 875 adds black textured, cherry, oak and pine finishes. The Series 400 is sold as a storefront window and the Series 450 as a frontset storefront window; both are approved in Florida as window walls. FL21632-R6 is the approved revision for the window walls and the Series 475 storefront; a revision, FL21632-R7, is pending. See our Impact Window Wall page and our Window & Door Mullions page.

The approval for each opening makes the final call.

Ask us for a side-by-side quote. Then let the facts in these tables guide the choice: the shape of the opening, how it should open, its size, the design pressure it needs and the missile rating. Where an Eco-Guard series has separate large- and small-missile versions, the version must match the opening. The approval for the exact size, glass and wall governs, and True Impact supplies and installs ECO and confirms the current approval for every opening before permitting. Every ECO approval and drawing is listed at the ECO product approvals page, and the full range is at our ECO page.
