ES Windows HC-200 Casement Window

Yes. The HC-200 casement is engineered to a +150/-210 psf design pressure, which is a high-pressure rating well above typical residential windows. That kind of pressure capacity is what lets it serve commercial and mid-rise work in South Florida's hurricane zones. We verify the exact rating your opening must meet for your address and wind exposure before we order.

A single HC-200 casement goes up to 42 by 76 inches, so it favors a tall, narrow operable opening rather than a wide one. For larger spans you would combine multiple units or pair it with fixed lites from the Commercial & Architectural Series. We measure each opening and lay out the configuration that works before quoting.

The HC-200 is offered with three laminated glass packages: G1 (1/4" heat-strengthened + .090" DuPont Butacite PVB + 3/16" heat-strengthened), G2 (the same buildup with a thinner .060" PVB), and G3, an insulating laminated unit (1/8" HS + 1/4" air space + 1/8" HS + .090" PVB + 1/8" HS) for added thermal performance. The G3 insulating option is the one to consider if energy efficiency matters on the project. We'll help you pick the glass package that balances performance and budget at quote.

The HC-200 aluminum frame comes anodized or painted as standard finishes, and a wood-grain finish is also available if you want the look of wood on an aluminum commercial frame. Painted opens up custom color matching to a building's design. We'll review the finish options with you so the HC-200 matches the rest of the facade.

Installed pricing on the HC-200 depends on the unit size, which of the three laminated glass packages you choose, the finish, and the condition of the existing opening, so there is no single price. As the installer, Armor Pro handles measurement, permitting, and code-compliant installation of this high-pressure commercial casement.

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.
