ES Windows DM-12 Sliding Glass Door

The DM-12 is approved up to 192 inches wide by 144 inches tall in all four configurations, at a design pressure of +125/-125 psf. The design pressure your specific opening must meet depends on its size, the building height, and the wind zone, so we verify the required rating against your engineering at quote. We'll confirm the DM-12's rating fits your opening before we order.

Yes, the DM-12 is glazed as standard with a 9/16-inch laminated impact unit (1/4-inch heat-strengthened, a 0.06 PVB interlayer, and 5/16-inch heat-strengthened glass), which is the impact build used for South Florida work. It is part of ES Windows's Commercial & Architectural Series, which includes both HVHZ impact systems and non-impact architectural framing, so the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone pathway is product-specific. We confirm the exact approval that applies to the DM-12 and your jurisdiction at quote before we permit.

The DM-12 and the 2400ST are both ES Windows commercial impact sliders that come in OX, XO, OXO, and OXXO layouts up to 192 by 144 inches with the same 9/16-inch laminated glazing. The main difference is the rated design pressure: the DM-12 is approved to +125/-125 psf, while the 2400ST is rated slightly higher at +131/-131 psf. We'll match the right door to the design pressure your opening and jurisdiction require.

The DM-12 comes standard with heavy-duty adjustable tandem polyamide ball-bearing rollers and a two-point lock with an ergonomic handle, with an exterior key-locking option available. It can be fitted with an inside screen, and the glass can be finished with paint, serigraphy, or digital printing; the frame is built in aluminum alloy 6063-T6 and 6005-T5. We'll confirm the hardware, screen, and finish choices with you when we build the quote.

The installed price of a DM-12 depends on the size of the opening, the number of panels and the configuration (OX, XO, OXO, or OXXO), the glass finish you choose, and the condition of the existing opening. Because it is a large commercial door, Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring and reviewing your project's engineering. We'll confirm the required design pressure and the right configuration before giving you a firm number.

This is ES Windows's house-brand catalog for commercial, condo, and mid- to high-rise architectural work, distinct from the residential tier lines. It covers aluminum storefront, stick and structural-silicone-glazed curtain wall, pre-glazed impact window wall, project-in and project-out operable windows, and commercial sliding and lift-slide doors. We reference it for light-commercial and architectural-spec projects rather than standard home replacement.

The U.S.-market impact systems are the ones that carry real HVHZ ratings: the ES-8860 window wall is tested to plus and minus 150 psf, the ES-6000/6100 sliding door reaches plus 120 / minus 135 psf with multiple Miami-Dade NOAs, and the ES-7500/7600 window wall and several others carry large- and small-missile certification. Some of the metric storefront and curtain-wall framing systems are Latin-American architectural products without Florida approval, so we verify approval status before specifying any of them on a Florida job.

ES Windows is the residential and light-commercial fenestration brand of Tecnoglass Inc. (NYSE: TGLS), and the products are manufactured at the company's complex in Barranquilla, Colombia. What makes the brand unusual is that the parent makes its own architectural glass and aluminum extrusions and then assembles the finished windows and doors in-house, so a single company stands behind the whole assembly rather than buying glass and frames from outside suppliers. We install and service ES Windows products throughout South Florida.
