About Slimpact and Faour Glass Technologies
Slimpact is the impact-rated product brand from Faour Glass Technologies, a division of FMC Group. The parent company has been operating out of Tampa, FL since 1975 — they are local, they understand Florida code intimately, and they engineer products specifically for the Florida architectural market.
The Slimpact value proposition is unusual in impact-rated commercial: a minimal aluminum profile (thin sight-lines) with full impact compliance. Most impact-rated commercial windows carry heavy aluminum frames because the structure is what resists Large Missile Impact. Slimpact engineers achieve thin sight-lines via reinforced extrusions and laminated glass make-up that meets the testing requirements without bulking up the visible aluminum.
Where we install Slimpact:
- Architectural projects where the architect specified thin sight-lines
- Custom residential and luxury hospitality envelopes
- Multifamily projects with high-end aesthetic targets
- Renovations where matching historic sight-lines while adding impact compliance is required
- Commercial railings on HVHZ projects (Slimpact's NOA-listed railing product)

When Slimpact is the right call
Slimpact is the correct system when:
- The architect specified thin aluminum sight-lines as an aesthetic requirement
- The project is in non-HVHZ Florida (Slimpact's FPA approvals cover this fully)
- Project is custom residential, luxury hospitality, or design-forward multifamily
- Project requires NOA-listed railing (Slimpact's NOA 20-1211.01 is unique in this category)
- Renovation or restoration where matching original sight-lines matters
When the project is HVHZ commercial high-rise, full-commercial curtainwall, or where standard ESWindows / Euro-Wall systems are spec'd, we install those systems. Slimpact's strength is the design-forward architectural niche, not the broad-spec heavy-commercial market.
Frequently asked questions
What is Slimpact?
Slimpact is a thin-frame impact-rated aluminum window, door, and railing line manufactured by Faour Glass Technologies (a division of FMC Group) out of Tampa, FL. The line is engineered for architectural applications where thin aluminum sight-lines and impact compliance both matter.
Who makes Slimpact?
Faour Glass Technologies, a division of FMC Group, has been operating out of Tampa, FL since 1975. Slimpact is their impact-rated product brand.
Is Slimpact NOA-listed for HVHZ?
Slimpact Railing has a confirmed Miami-Dade NOA (20-1211.01) for Large Missile Impact applications. For Slimpact window and door products specifically in HVHZ, current NOA status varies — we verify directly with the manufacturer on every bid.
Does Slimpact have Florida Product Approvals?
Yes. As of May 2026, Slimpact carries 12 active Florida Product Approvals ranging from FL #25671.1 through FL #29880.1, covering the commercial window, door, and storefront line for non-HVHZ Florida applications.
Is ACG an authorized Slimpact installer?
Yes. ACG (FL CGC #1531993) installs Slimpact thin-frame impact-rated products on Florida commercial projects — architectural windows, doors, storefronts, and the NOA-listed Slimpact Railing system.
Why use Slimpact over standard ESWindows or Euro-Wall?
Slimpact wins when the architect specified thin aluminum sight-lines as an aesthetic requirement. Most impact-rated commercial windows have heavier visible aluminum. Slimpact engineers maintain impact compliance while keeping the aluminum profile narrow. For broad-spec heavy-commercial or HVHZ high-rise, ESWindows or Euro-Wall is typically the better call.
