Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-4518 is a 4-1/2-inch commercial aluminum storefront from ES Windows, designed to balance performance and aesthetics across a wide range of interior applications such as lobbies, vestibules, and interior glazed partitions. It accepts 1/4-inch monolithic glass with interior or exterior glazing options and includes a high-performance drained sill system. We install the ES-4518 where a clean, framed aluminum storefront is the right fit, and we'll confirm the layout for your project at quote.
No. The ES-4518 is a non-impact (NI) system that is not HVHZ approved, and its design load is rated only ±10 psf for interior applications, so it is not intended as an exterior hurricane barrier in South Florida. If you need a hurricane-rated commercial glazing system, we'll move you to one of ES Windows's HVHZ impact systems, such as their pre-glazed impact window wall lines. We always confirm what your specific opening and jurisdiction require before permitting.
The ES-4518 runs on a 4-1/2-inch frame depth and reaches a maximum panel size of about 47.8 inches wide by 120 inches tall in its standard configuration. Its design pressure is +10/-10 psf, rated for interior applications only, with a water resistance of 6.24 psf. Because the load your opening must meet depends on its location and use, we verify that the ES-4518 is the right system for your project at quote.
The ES-4518 accepts 1/4-inch monolithic glass and can be glazed from the interior or exterior, with a drained sill to manage water. The system is designed to integrate with ES Windows's ES-21 and ES-35 swing doors so an entrance can be built directly into the storefront framing. We'll spec the glass and matching door so the storefront and entry work together cleanly.
The ES-4518 is offered in anodized, painted, and wood-effect finishes, so it can match a building's interior design or a tenant's branding. As an aluminum framing system, it gives a consistent commercial look across long runs of storefront. We'll show you the finish options and confirm the selection before we order.
Installed pricing for the ES-4518 depends on the overall run and panel sizes, the glass, the finish, whether a door is integrated, and the condition of the existing opening, so there is no single price. As your installer, Armor Pro handles measurement, layout, and code-compliant installation of this interior storefront system. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate and we'll measure your space and quote it.
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.
