The MG-1500 is the value-tier counterpart to the flagship MG-1000 slider, the same two-track, up-to-four-panel format at a lower price and a lower design-pressure rating. It is still aluminum and still carries dual LMI and SMI certification, so it qualifies for both low-rise and high-rise, but its 60 psf positive and 80 psf negative rating and 48-by-108-inch panel limit place it on the standard residential opening rather than the most exposed one.
Armor Pro specs the MG-1500 on patio and lanai openings where the budget leads and the exposure is moderate, the common HVHZ slider rather than the waterfront wall. When an opening faces open water or takes the full coastal wind load, the MG-1000 carries the higher pressure and larger panels; the MG-1500 is the value slider for the everyday opening.

Frequently Asked Questions
The MG-1500 is Mr Glass's value-tier residential sliding glass door, built on a 2-track aluminum frame that supports up to 4 panels (configurations like XO, XX, OXO and OXXO). It's the budget-friendly counterpart to the flagship MG-1000, with the same two-track, up-to-four-panel format at a lower price and a lower design-pressure rating. We spec it on patio and lanai openings where the budget leads and the exposure is moderate.
Yes. The MG-1500 is aluminum and carries dual LMI and SMI impact certification, so it qualifies for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone installations in both low-rise and high-rise applications. It holds Florida Product Approvals FL38057.1.R4 and FL38057.2.R4. We'll confirm the approval that applies to your opening at the time of quote.
MG-1500 panels go up to 48 inches wide by 108 inches tall, on a 2-track frame holding up to 4 panels. It's rated to roughly +60 to +65 psf positive and -80 psf negative design pressure, which suits standard residential openings rather than the most exposed waterfront walls. We verify the design pressure your specific opening needs before ordering.
For an opening that faces open water or takes the full coastal wind load, we'd point you to the MG-1000, which carries a higher design pressure and allows larger panels. The MG-1500 is the value slider for the everyday HVHZ opening with moderate exposure, not the most exposed waterfront wall. We'll assess your opening's exposure and recommend the right door at the free estimate.
The MG-1500 uses a 7/16-inch laminated impact glass (around U 1.158, SHGC 0.58 in clear), with tint options including Gray, Bronze, and Solexia. Adding a Low-E coating like Solarban SB70XL drops the SHGC substantially, for example to about 0.283 on clear glass, for better heat rejection in the Florida sun. We'll help you pick the tint and Low-E combination that fits your exposure.
The installed price of an MG-1500 depends on the size of the opening, the panel configuration, the glass package and tint you choose, and the condition of the existing opening. As the value-tier slider, it's a cost-conscious option for standard residential patio and lanai openings. Armor Pro provides a free estimate so you get an exact installed price for your project.
Mr Glass runs a deep catalog, and we install across most of it. On the residential side that means impact windows in single-hung, horizontal-roller (sliding), fixed picture, and casement and awning styles, plus a full range of doors: entry and outswing doors, architectural pivot doors, and sliding glass doors including the multitrack pocket slider. They also build a commercial line of impact and non-impact storefronts, window walls, curtain walls, glass railings, and aluminum louvers that we handle on light-commercial projects. We help you match the right Mr Glass product to each opening and pull the matching approval for your county.
Most of the line is, but it depends on the specific product. Mr Glass's premium residential windows are dual-certified to both Large Missile Impact (LMI) and Small Missile Impact (SMI), which covers them for high-rise and coastal work anywhere in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of Miami-Dade and Broward. Their value-tier windows and all of their doors carry the impact certification needed for the HVHZ as well, and a couple of commercial products (the MG-275 door and MG-4500 storefront) are non-impact and are not used in the wind-borne-debris zone. We confirm the exact product, rating, and approval for your address before we quote and permit.
A sliding glass door (SGD) glides on a bottom track and stacks panels to one side, giving a wide glass opening to a patio or lanai. The impact version uses laminated glass and a heavy reinforced frame tested to the HVHZ standard, so it protects the largest opening in most homes without needing shutters.
