Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-WS5032 is a hurricane-resistant glass-panel windscreen, or 'cortavientos,' from ES Windows's Railing & Guardrail Systems line, made for interior and exterior wind protection with corner options. It ships as factory-assembled, pre-glazed modules on a 5-inch frame, with support posts embedded in the slab for concrete-integrated stability. We install the ES-WS5032 on terraces, rooftop decks, and patios where you want clear glass wind protection that can turn corners.
Yes. The ES-WS5032 is rated for both Large Missile Impact and Small Missile Impact (LMI+SMI), so it is tested against both the larger and the smaller windborne-debris missiles used in coastal impact testing. That dual rating sets it apart from several other systems in the railing line, which carry only the large-missile rating. We confirm the impact certification on file for your project at quote.
The ES-WS5032 is impact-tested for both large and small missiles (LMI+SMI), which makes it well suited to coastal exposure. Whether your specific opening also needs a particular HVHZ approval depends on the application and jurisdiction, so inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covering Miami-Dade and Broward, Armor Pro confirms the current approval on file before specifying the windscreen and matches its rating to your jurisdiction's permit requirements.
The ES-WS5032 is engineered for 13/32-inch tempered-laminated glass, in straight or angled configurations and with coating options available. Tempered-laminated glass combines strength with the hold-together behavior that gives the windscreen its impact performance. We confirm the glass makeup and any coating you want at quote.
Yes. The ES-WS5032 is offered with corner options and supports both straight and angled configurations, so it can wrap a terrace or deck rather than running in a single straight line. We lay out the corners and panel breaks during measurement so the windscreen fits your space. We confirm the configuration on your quote.
Installed pricing for the ES-WS5032 depends on the total length, the number of corners and angled sections, the glass and coating options, and the slab conditions for the embedded posts, so there is no single price. As your installer, Armor Pro handles measurement, post embedment, and code-compliant installation of the pre-glazed modules. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure your space and quote the ES-WS5032.
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.
