ForceFront Storm Curtainwall (400T FFS) framing is a 2-1/2″ face pressure bar system for use on single and twin-span applications in impact building code areas. This captured or silicone-glazed system is designed for use with 1-5/16″ laminated glass. 400T FFS meets the requirements of HVHZ windzone 3 & 4 – large missile impact [ASTM E1886-05/1996-09 TAS 201].

ForceFront Entrance Doors compliment the curtainwall providing a complete impact-resistant system that’s easy to fabricate and install.

FFS-CW is designed with a thermally broken tongue area using an EPDM isolator between interior and exterior members. It can be ordered with Tubelite’s environmentally friendly finishes and high recycled content Ecoluminum®, and both the storefront and doors with the environmentally friendly anodizing and painting.
