ES Windows ES-SD450 Thermal Sliding Glass Door

The ES-SD450 profile we have does not list a large-missile impact rating or a Miami-Dade NOA, and its standard glazing is a 1-inch insulated unit rather than a laminated impact make-up. The Commercial & Architectural Series carries both non-impact systems and separate HVHZ impact systems, so for an opening inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone we would direct you to an impact-rated ES Windows slider such as the ES-6000/6100 or the related ES-SD451. We confirm the correct impact-rated door and approval for your jurisdiction before quoting.

Each ES-SD450 configuration, from the 2-panel up through the 5-panel, installs up to a maximum of about 61 by 96 inches per panel module, and all configurations are rated to a design pressure of +50/-50 psf. Because the design pressure your opening must meet depends on its size, height, and wind exposure, we confirm the required rating at quote. As your installer, Armor Pro makes sure the door's rating matches your project.

The standard ES-SD450 glazing is a 1-inch insulated glass unit built from 1/4-inch heat-strengthened glass, a 1/2-inch spacer, and another 1/4-inch heat-strengthened lite, with painted, serigraphy, or digital-printed glass finishes available. Screens can be specified as an aluminum-frame screen or a fiberglass-mesh screen. We help you choose the glass and screen options that fit the project's performance and appearance goals.

The ES-SD450 is available in anodized, painted, and wood-grain frame finishes. Standard hardware is a three-point lock, with flushbolts, heavy-duty hinges, lever handles, a Class 1 hook bolt, and reinforcement available as options, plus surface-applied ogee or flat muntins for a divided-light look. We review the finish, hardware, and grille options so the door matches the building's design.

Installed pricing for the ES-SD450 depends on the panel configuration (2, 3, 4, or 5 panels), the overall opening size, the glass package, the finish and hardware options, and the condition of the existing opening, so there is no single price. As your installer, Armor Pro handles measurement, any required permitting, and code-compliant installation. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure your opening and quote the ES-SD450.

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.
