Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-RL5740 is a hurricane-resistant glass guardrail from ES Windows's Railing & Guardrail Systems line, built on a 4-inch aluminum frame with a 6 5/16-inch bottom rail. It is engineered for 13/16-inch laminated glass with a polished vertical edge, and it supports both straight and 80-degree-angle configurations. We install the ES-RL5740 on balconies, terraces, and stair runs where you want a clean structural glass guardrail with an impact-tested makeup.
The ES-RL5740 is designed for 13/16-inch (0.8125 inch) laminated glass with a polished vertical edge for a finished look on exposed panels. Laminated glass holds together if struck, which is what gives the guardrail its impact performance. We confirm the glass makeup and edge treatment on your order at quote.
The ES-RL5740 carries a Large Missile Impact (LMI) rating, meaning it is tested against the larger windborne-debris missiles used for coastal protection. Whether your opening also needs a specific HVHZ approval depends on the application and jurisdiction, so inside the Miami-Dade and Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, Armor Pro confirms the current approval on file before specifying it and makes sure the guardrail's rating matches your jurisdiction's permit requirements.
Yes. The ES-RL5740 supports both straight runs and 80-degree-angle configurations, so it can follow corners and turns on a balcony or terrace. We lay out the angles and panel breaks during measurement so the guardrail fits your specific railing geometry. We confirm the configuration on your quote.
Like the other systems in ES Windows's Railing & Guardrail line, the ES-RL5740 is a concrete- or grout-embedded aluminum system, with its 4-inch frame and 6 5/16-inch bottom rail anchored to the slab. Proper embedment and anchorage are what let it carry wind load, so this is work for an experienced installer. Armor Pro handles the measurement, embedding, and code-compliant installation.
Installed pricing for the ES-RL5740 depends on the length of the run, whether it is straight or angled, the glass and edge options, and the slab and embedment conditions, so there is no single price. As your installer, Armor Pro handles measurement, embedding, and code-compliant installation. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure your railing run and quote the ES-RL5740.
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.
