Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-EL150 is the Elite aluminum impact fixed window, built on a 2-15/16 inch frame depth that matches the rest of the Elite residential line for clean sightline continuity across operable and fixed units. A fixed window does not open, so it is used where you want maximum glass area, an unobstructed view, and a tight, energy-efficient seal. We install the ES-EL150 on South Florida homes as a picture window or a fixed companion to ES-EL100 single hungs and ES-EL200 sliders, with HVHZ-rated hurricane protection.
Yes. The ES-EL150 is Large Missile Impact (LMI) rated and carries Miami-Dade NOA 23-0714.17, which is valid for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covering Miami-Dade and Broward counties. That NOA is listed as expiring May 18, 2027, and we confirm the current approval on file at the time of your permit. As your installer, we make sure the ES-EL150's approval matches your jurisdiction's requirements.
The ES-EL150 installs up to a maximum of 48 by 96 inches, making it a good choice for tall picture openings, and it is rated to a design pressure of +80/-80 psf, which is the wind load the unit is built to resist. The window is also tested to a water resistance of 12 psf. Because the design pressure your opening must reach depends on its size and wind exposure, we confirm the rating your specific window needs at quote.
The ES-EL150 is offered in a wide range of LMI laminated make-ups using 0.075 and 0.090 interlayers, as well as insulating-laminated packages for better thermal performance. Its top insulating-laminated unit (1/8-inch HS + 5/16-inch air + 1/8-inch HS + 0.090 interlayer + 1/4-inch tempered) is rated at a U-factor of 0.46 and SHGC of 0.34, and across the line the fixed window is published at an SHGC of about 0.26 with U-factors from roughly 0.51 to 1.01. We recommend the glass package that best balances energy efficiency and budget for your home.
Yes. The ES-EL150 fixed window is offered not only as a standard square unit but also in curve, arch, and half-moon shapes, which makes it useful for architectural and transom openings. It is available in anodized, painted, and wood-grain frame finishes, and can be ordered with a flange frame, a flush frame adapter, or a flush frame adapter with fin. We will go over the shape and finish options so the window matches your home's design.
Installed pricing for the ES-EL150 depends on the size of the opening, the glass package, the frame finish and any custom shape, and the condition of the existing opening, so there is no single price. The Elite line is positioned to deliver HVHZ-rated Miami-Dade certification without architectural-grade pricing, and as your installer Armor Pro handles measurement, permitting, and code-compliant installation. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure your openings and quote the ES-EL150.
Yes. Elite is ES Windows's mid-tier aluminum impact line and carries current Miami-Dade NOAs filed under the 2023 (8th edition) Florida Building Code across its operation range, so it is HVHZ-eligible in Miami-Dade and Broward. We confirm the exact approval and design pressure for each opening before ordering.
Elite spans the full standard residential range: casement, single hung, fixed picture, sliding window, French door, and sliding glass door, all under one certified system. That breadth is why it shows up on so many quotes; a whole house can be specified on a single line. What it does not include are the architectural pivot and folding doors, which live in the Prestige tier.
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.
