Frequently Asked Questions
The BD4050 is a hurricane-resistant balcony-divider railing (a "barandal") that separates adjacent balconies or terraces with a privacy glass partition. It has a top and bottom rail with a 3" kick-plate (toe) height on a 4" frame, and its continuous frame carries multiple glass modules. We install it on coastal balconies and terraces where neighbors share a divided balcony line.
Yes, the BD4050 carries a Large-Missile-Impact (LMI) rating, which is the wind-borne-debris standard for coastal use. It is, however, not HVHZ-approved, and the manufacturer notes that certifications may not cover every configuration, so we confirm exactly what is approved for your specific layout before we install. If your project sits inside the Miami-Dade or Broward High Velocity Hurricane Zone and needs an HVHZ-approved divider, we'll point you to the right alternative at the time of quote.
The BD4050's continuous frame is engineered to carry glass modules made of 1-1/8" laminated glass, which is what gives it both its impact resistance and its see-through privacy divider function. Optional glass-edge covers are available to finish the exposed glass edges. We'll confirm the module sizing and edge details for your balcony when we measure.
The BD4050 uses an aluminum frame with a 4" frame depth, a top and bottom rail, and a 3" kick-plate at the base, with the continuous frame holding multiple laminated glass modules across the divider span. This rail-and-kick-plate design is what lets it act as a structural balcony partition rather than just a decorative panel. We handle the framing and anchoring as part of the installation.
Yes. Armor Pro installs the ES Windows BD4050 balcony divider, and we can coordinate it alongside your impact windows and doors on the same project so the balcony work and the openings are handled together. ES Windows also offers a broader Railing & Guardrail line, including glass guardrails and windscreens, if you need more than a divider. We'll scope all of it during the site visit.
Installed pricing for the BD4050 depends on the length of the divider, the number of glass modules, any optional edge covers, and the condition of the balcony where it anchors. Because every balcony is different, we don't quote a flat price. Armor Pro provides a free estimate after measuring the balcony and confirming the configuration.
It is ES Windows's structural glass railing catalog: modular post and postless glass guardrails, a railing-gate system, glass windscreens (cortavientos), floating-glass railings, and balcony dividers. The systems ship factory pre-assembled and pre-glazed and are designed to be embedded in concrete or grout. We reference them mainly on coastal balcony, terrace, and rooftop-amenity projects.
Several members are impact-tested for coastal use; the ES-RG110 railing-gate, for example, is engineered for design loads up to plus and minus 145 psf, and the windscreen and some guardrail systems carry large- and small-missile testing. Because approval coverage can be configuration-dependent, we verify the specific rating and any Florida or Miami-Dade approval against your project's location and railing height before specifying.
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.
