Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The EAS 143 Casement is a vinyl impact casement carrying HVHZ certification with a Large Missile Impact (LMI) rating, marketed under EAS's Bertha Vinyl Impact branding for South Florida coastal installations. That means it's built to pass the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements without separate shutters. When we quote your project we'll confirm the exact approval that matches your wind zone and opening.
The 143 Casement is approved up to 37 inches wide by 76 inches tall as a fin-and-flange HVHZ impact unit. It's rated to a +70/-70 psf design pressure, which covers most South Florida residential openings. We'll measure each opening and confirm the size and pressure rating you need at your free estimate.
It's built on a 3-1/4 inch fusion-welded vinyl frame with argon-filled 3/4-inch insulated glass, and the energy numbers depend on the glass package you choose. Across the available glass makeups the U-factor ranges from 0.27 to 0.44 and the SHGC from 0.14 to 0.55. For the best efficiency, the E366 and E340 Low-E packages get the U-factor down to 0.27–0.28 with SHGC as low as 0.14, and we'll help you pick the package that fits your heat-gain and light goals.
The 143 Casement comes in clear and several Low-E glass packages, including E366, E340, E452, and tinted Solargray, in both standard and laminated impact makeups. For the lowest solar heat gain, the E340 / argon / clear package hits an SHGC of 0.14 with a U-factor of 0.28, while E366 packages balance heat control with more visible light (VT up to 0.47). We'll walk you through the trade-off between heat rejection and natural light when we quote the window.
The 143 Casement is offered in White as the standard finish, plus Desert Sand and a two-tone Bronze Exterior / White Interior option. For the glass look, you can add grids in Grids Between Glass (GBG), Simulated Divided Light (SDL), or Colonial, Prairie, and Perimeter patterns. Hardware includes a standard multi-point lock and Truth Hardware with E-Guard, with egress hinge and coastal hardware available.
We don't quote a flat price because the installed cost of a 143 Casement depends on the size of the opening, the glass package you choose, and the condition and prep of the existing opening. A larger unit, a laminated or specialty Low-E glass package, and added options like grids or coastal hardware all affect the number. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate so you get an exact installed price for your specific windows.
The 143 Series is EAS's volume-tier vinyl window family, the everyday line for residential replacement. It is built on the same 3-1/4 inch fusion-welded frame as the flagship Bertha line, with a 0.070 inch wall that EAS markets as about 12 percent thicker than most vinyl windows. It is the broadest line in the catalog, covering six operation styles on one frame platform.
Six: single hung, double hung, horizontal roller, picture, casement, and awning. That is the widest operation coverage in the EAS vinyl catalog, which is why it is the workhorse line for a full-home replacement where you want to keep a consistent frame look across different opening types. Single hung is the volume style; the fixed picture model carries the highest design pressure in the line at 80 psf.
