ES Windows ES-SD451 Sliding Glass Door

The ES-SD451's standard glazing is a laminated make-up (1/4-inch tempered + 1/2-inch air spacer + 3/16-inch HS + 0.09-inch DuPont SGP interlayer + 3/16-inch HS), the kind of laminated build used for impact protection, but the profile we have does not list a specific Miami-Dade NOA or large-missile impact certification. Because the Commercial & Architectural Series spans both non-impact and HVHZ-impact systems, we confirm the exact impact rating and approval on file for the ES-SD451 before specifying it for an opening inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. As your installer, we verify the rating at quote so it matches your jurisdiction.

The ES-SD451 is rated to a design pressure of +80/-80 psf, the wind load the door is built to resist, across its OX/XO, OXO, OXXO, and OXXOX configurations. 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 ES-SD451 offers three laminated glazing options: G1 with a 0.09-inch DuPont SGP interlayer, G2 with a 0.06-inch DuPont PVB interlayer, and G3 with a 0.035-inch DuPont SGP interlayer, all built around a 1/4-inch tempered outboard lite and 3/16-inch heat-strengthened laminated inboard lites. The glass is rated at a U-factor of 0.41. We help you choose the interlayer make-up that fits the project's security, sound, and performance goals.

The ES-SD451 is available in anodized, painted, and wood-grain frame finishes, with painted, serigraphy, or digital-printed glass finishes. The standard locking is a two-point lock with an ergonomic handle, and exterior key locking is available. It can be ordered with an aluminum-frame and fiberglass-mesh screen. We review the finish, locking, and screen options so the door matches the building's design and use.

Installed pricing for the ES-SD451 depends on the panel configuration, the overall opening size (it can run up to about 238 inches wide), the laminated glass package you choose, the finish and locking 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.

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.
