ES Hurricane Windows
Full-featured hurricane impact windows for less
ES Impact Windows has become one of the most popular manufacturers in the past few years because ES Windows standard line of impact windows include many features that other companies charge 15-25% more for. ES Windows are well known for their unique architectural window shapes and designer glass. Now, as a global leader in hurricane impact windows and glass production, they have a 3.6 million square foot manufacturing plant in Columbia, and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
We understood the value of being able to offer our customers the most cost-effective upgrades for their impact windows, such as reinforced aluminum, heat-strength glass, screens, and additional color options. Options typically offered at a premium, now come as a standard with ES Windows. In almost all cases, ES Windows will be stronger and more affordable than any other hurricane window manufacturer.
Three product lines, hundreds of options
ES Window options offer three lines of impact windows: Multimax Elite, Prestige, and Commercial. Each ES Impact Window line has a wide range of different products to choose from. Available in all the standard styles and options: single hung windows, casement windows, horizontal rollers, fixed windows, sliding glass doors, and french doors.
Better hurricane protection with ES Windows
ES Windows provides some of the strongest (and most cost-effective) options. ES’ Elite Line has some of the strongest pressure resistances (PSF) out of all premium impact windows with the best pricing. ES’ Multimax line which is their no-frills entry-level impact window and door line, offers the strongest windows available at it’s price point.
ES Windows’ heat-strength glass is two times stronger than the standard annealed glass. Most other manufacturers will charge an additional 10 to 20% depending on the size of the window. But this options comes as a standard offering with all of ES’ impact windows.
ES’ Elite line have a minimum PSF of +80 -80 which is 10% stronger than PGT, CGI & ECO. Because of the strength, larger spans are available for high-end homes with large windows.
ES Multimax is one of the most cost-effective impact window options you can get in Florida. Multimax offers more premium options as a standard than any other entry-level priced impact window and door manufacturer, including CGI Sparta, ECO, PGT, and Lawson.
All windows and doors come standard with stainless-steel hardware (other manufacturers charge 5% more for this). All french doors come with a 3-point locking system. The only difference between the Multimax line and Elite line is a slightly smaller frame (1/2″) on the Multimax.
Tinting
ES Impact Windows are also available in Low E with gray tint. Their process is different than other manufacturers; the Low E coating is on the gray tint, not on the other clear pane of glass, giving the glass a true gray color and lower SHGC (as low as 0.28). Most manufacturers will charge 10 to 15% more for the same option.
