Frequently Asked Questions

The FWI 1000 HR is Eastern Architectural Systems' aluminum impact horizontal roller, where the sash slides side to side rather than up and down. It comes in XO, OX, and XOX configurations with both equal and unequal sash divisions, such as 1/3-1/3-1/3 or 1/4-1/2-1/4. We install it on wider openings where a side-sliding window suits the space better than a single-hung, and an HRP variant is available when you need enhanced structural performance.

Yes. The FWI 1000 HR carries Large Missile Impact (LMI) certification and is HVHZ-approved for South Florida coastal installations. It's rated to 100 psf positive and 120 psf negative design pressure on its strongest configurations. We'll confirm the specific approval and rating for your jurisdiction and opening at quote.

The 2-lite impact roller reaches about 74 inches wide by 63 inches tall at +100/-120 psf, while the 3-lite HRP configuration extends up to 111 inches wide by 72 inches tall. With unequal lites the 3-lite HRP holds +100/-120 psf, and the equal-lite and insulated versions are rated to +60/-60 psf. We measure your rough opening and confirm the configuration and design pressure your project requires before ordering.

Glass options span 5/16-inch and 7/16-inch laminated impact builds up through 11/16-inch insulated laminated packages with argon. The most efficient choice, E340 with argon and clear laminated glass, reaches a U-factor of 0.66 with a 0.16 SHGC, while a basic clear laminated package runs around U 1.07 with a 0.58 SHGC. We'll help you choose the glass that balances energy performance and budget for your exposure.

The FWI 1000 HR is built on a 3-1/4-inch aluminum frame depth in White (standard) or Bronze, with grid options including flat muntin, profile muntin, Colonial, Prairie, and Perimeter. Standard hardware includes heavy-duty adjustable rollers, stainless-steel components, double-veined felt seals, and a removable operating sash for easier service. These are the same durable components EAS uses across its highest design-pressure aluminum line.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the size of the opening, the configuration (2-lite versus 3-lite XOX), the glass package, and the condition of your existing frame. The FWI 1000 is EAS's highest design-pressure aluminum impact window line, so it's a premium choice for demanding coastal exposures. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.

The FWI 1000 is EAS's highest-performance aluminum impact window line, the strongest the company makes. It is built on a 3-1/4 inch aluminum frame with stainless-steel components, double-veined felt seals, and removable operating sashes for easy cleaning. It comes as a single hung and as a horizontal roller, including an enhanced HRP roller variant for the most demanding openings.

The single-hung is rated to 120 psf positive and 150 psf negative, the highest design pressure in the entire EAS catalog. The horizontal roller is rated to 100 psf positive and 120 psf negative. Aluminum carries these higher pressures because the extrusion is stiffer than vinyl per inch of frame, which is why we reach for the FWI 1000 on the most exposed elevations and tall or wide openings.

Eastern Architectural Systems (EAS) is a Florida manufacturer based in Fort Myers, with roots in the Eastern Metal Supply family. It builds vinyl and aluminum impact-resistant windows and doors for the Florida residential market, and is the maker of the Bertha impact line. EAS has been part of Cornerstone Building Brands since late 2023, though it still operates under its own brand. We install and service EAS products throughout South Florida.
