Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-VT30 is a hurricane-resistant modular glass railing from ES Windows's Railing & Guardrail Systems line, built for modern residential and commercial applications. It ships pre-assembled and pre-glazed on a 3-inch post, and it is impact-tested. We install the ES-VT30 on balconies, terraces, and overlooks where you want a clean modular glass railing with the option for curved glass.
Yes. The ES-VT30 supports concave and convex glass with a maximum curvature radius of 100 inches, and its posts can vary straight-to-angular at plus or minus 10 degrees to follow your railing line. Exposed glass is limited to one-third of the total railing height by design. We lay out the curvature and post angles during measurement and confirm them on your quote.
The ES-VT30 is engineered for 5/8-inch and 7/16-inch laminated glass. Laminated glass is what gives the railing its impact performance, since it holds together if struck. We confirm the glass makeup that fits your project at quote.
The ES-VT30 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 railing's rating matches your jurisdiction's permit requirements.
The ES-VT30 is offered in anodized, painted, and wood-grain finishes, so you can match it to a modern aluminum look or a warmer wood-grain appearance. The finish choice lets the railing coordinate with the rest of your exterior. We will go over the finish options so the ES-VT30 suits your home or building.
The ES-VT30 uses posts embedded in the slab, with a 6-inch embed diameter, 5-inch embed depth, 4 1/2-inch post embed, and 6-inch edge distance, so correct embedment and anchorage are essential. Installed pricing depends on the run length, whether you want curved or angled sections, the glass makeup, and the slab conditions, so there is no single price. Contact Armor Pro for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure your railing and quote the ES-VT30.
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.
