Glazing 7/16 in laminated glass
Impact protection, built for South Florida
The ES-RL3031 is a hurricane-resistant modular glass railing ("barandales") that arrives pre-assembled and glazed for direct concrete embedment. It carries a 5 3/4-inch cap width over a reinforced 3-by-3-inch mullion/post and is engineered for 7/16-inch laminated glass. Embedment geometry is specified at a 6-inch embed diameter, 5-inch post embed, 5 3/4-inch embed depth, and 7-inch edge distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-RL3031 is a hurricane-resistant modular glass railing (barandales) that arrives factory pre-assembled and pre-glazed for direct concrete embedment, so the panels are ready to set rather than built up on site. It is built on a reinforced 3-by-3-inch post with a 5 3/4-inch rail cap and is engineered for 7/16-inch laminated glass. We install the ES-RL3031 as a code-rated glass guardrail on balconies, terraces, and stair landings.
Yes. The ES-RL3031 carries a Large Missile Impact (LMI) rating, which is why it is suited to exposed coastal balconies and terraces. The profile does not list it as HVHZ-approved, so for projects inside the Miami-Dade and Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone we confirm at quote whether the ES-RL3031 or another ES Windows railing carries the specific approval your jurisdiction requires.
The ES-RL3031 is engineered for 7/16-inch laminated glass, the interlayered safety glass used in guardrails because it holds together on impact, set on a reinforced 3-by-3-inch post under a 5 3/4-inch cap. The reinforced post is what lets a relatively slim 3-by-3-inch profile carry guardrail loads. We confirm the glass make-up and post layout for your project when we measure.
The ES-RL3031 is a concrete-embedded system, with embedment specified at a 6-inch embed diameter, 5-inch post embed, 5 3/4-inch embed depth, and 7-inch edge distance from the slab edge. Those numbers matter because the slab has to have enough depth and edge clearance for the railing to develop its rated strength. We verify the slab can take that embedment before we install.
Yes. The ES-RL3031 ships pre-assembled and glazed from the factory for direct concrete embedment, which means the glass is already set in the panels when they arrive. That reduces on-site assembly and helps keep the factory-set glazing tolerances. As your installer, we focus on accurate layout, embedment, and anchoring so the finished railing meets code.
Installed pricing for the ES-RL3031 depends on the length of railing, the finish, and the condition and edge clearance of the slab where the posts embed, so there is no single price. Because the system is concrete-embedded, proper embedment depth and edge distance are part of a code-compliant installation that we handle. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure and quote the ES-RL3031.
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.
