Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. ES Windows is manufactured by Tecnoglass, a NYSE-listed company with nearly $1 billion in annual revenue, industry-leading margins (42.8% gross), and the #1 volume position in the Florida impact window market. The vertical integration (own aluminum, own glass, own coating facility) provides quality control from raw materials through finished product.

Approximately 20% less than PGT WinGuard for comparable specifications, with premium features (Low-E, Kynar, stainless hardware) included standard. A typical Elite single-hung runs $900-$1,600 installed. See our itemized impact window pricing by window type and frame material to compare ES against the broader market.

Movable parts: 25 years. Stress cracks: 3 years. PGT's laminated glass warranty (10 years) is longer, though impact glass failures are extremely rare from any manufacturer.

ES wins on price (~20% less), features-per-dollar (premiums included standard), and delivery speed (5-6 weeks vs. 10-12). PGT wins on product breadth, brand recognition, and glass warranty length. Neither is universally better; the right choice depends on your priorities. See our manufacturer comparison.

Yes. The Elite and Prestige aluminum lines carry broad Miami-Dade NOA coverage. The vinyl line has limited HVHZ approval. Verify the specific NOA number for each product configuration.

Yes. As a Colombian manufacturer, Tecnoglass faces Section 232 tariffs (10% on finished aluminum window imports). Price increases of 5-6% on 2026 orders have been announced. Tecnoglass is investing $350-$400 million in U.S. manufacturing to create a dual-platform model for long-term tariff mitigation.
