Impact protection, built for South Florida

The ES-BF5010T is the Prestige bi-fold, a thermally broken aluminum door that stacks up to sixteen panels (42 by 120 inches each) to one or both sides of an opening. The 5-inch frame carries a 2-inch threshold for serious water-infiltration protection, with stainless-steel hinges and pull hardware and an LMI impact rating for the HVHZ. Where a slider leaves half the opening as glass, a bi-fold folds the whole wall away, which is the look on a pool deck or entertaining space that wants no barrier at all.

Armor Pro specs the BF5010T on wide entertaining openings where the owner wants the wall to vanish and accepts the stacked panels at the jamb. The thermal break keeps the energy numbers in check on all that glass. For a folding wall with the largest single panels or a wraparound corner, the FX3050 is the alternative; the choice between them comes down to panel proportion and how the open door should stack.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ES-BF5010T is the Prestige thermally broken aluminum bi-fold door, which stacks up to 16 panels to one or both sides of an opening so the wall folds completely away. Where a slider leaves half the opening as glass, a bi-fold opens the whole span, which is the look people want on a pool deck or entertaining space. We spec the BF5010T on wide openings where you want no barrier between inside and out.

Yes. The ES-BF5010T is Large Missile Impact (LMI) rated and listed by ES Windows as HVHZ-approved, so it qualifies for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. It carries a 95 psf positive and 95 psf negative design pressure. As your installer, we confirm the specific product approval on file matches your jurisdiction before we permit.

The ES-BF5010T supports up to 16 panels meeting in the center, with each panel up to 42 by 120 inches. That lets it fold away a very wide entertaining opening while keeping individual panels a manageable size. We confirm the panel count and stacking direction that fit your opening at quote.

The ES-BF5010T sits on a 5-inch frame with a 2-inch threshold for serious water-infiltration protection, and it is rated to 15 psf water resistance. Because the frame is thermally broken, it keeps the energy numbers in check across all that glass, with a U-factor of 0.77 and an SHGC of 0.17. We will go over the threshold and glass details so the door performs on a large exterior opening.

The ES-BF5010T comes standard with heavy-duty pivots, hinges, and carriers, stainless-steel hinges and pull hardware, and a multipoint lock, plus an ADA sill so the threshold can meet accessibility requirements. That hardware set is built for the weight of folding panels and frequent use on an entertaining opening. We make sure the carriers and lock are set up correctly during installation.

Both fold a wall of glass away, but the BF5010T uses up to 16 panels at 42 by 120 inches that stack at the jamb, while the FX3050 folding door offers the largest single panels and a wraparound corner option. The choice comes down to panel proportion and how you want the open door to stack. Installed pricing for either depends on the opening width, panel count, glass package, and finish, so contact Armor Pro for a free estimate and we will quote the right one for your opening.

Yes. Prestige is ES Windows's premium aluminum impact line and carries Miami-Dade NOAs across its windows and doors for HVHZ use in Miami-Dade and Broward, including thermally broken variants. Exact design pressures depend on the product and opening size, which we confirm against your address before ordering.

Prestige is built around large-format and statement openings: the PSD5030 pivot door (a 2024 Glass Magazine award winner), the FX3050 folding door with panels up to roughly 8 by 16 feet, the 16-panel BF5010T bi-fold, and impact sliding glass doors. These are the openings homeowners want to disappear, and Prestige is engineered to make them disappear while keeping an HVHZ impact rating. We size and configure the door system to your opening during the consultation.

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.
