Direct Answer

American Commercial Glass (ACG) is a Florida-based authorized installer of ESWindows commercial systems, including the ES8000 storefront, ES50 high-performance window line, and ES Curtainwall.

Bonding: $3 million single / $6 million aggregate.

ESWindows Commercial Product Line

Three core systems. One authorized installer.

ESWindows manufactures a full commercial aluminum envelope. ACG installs the three systems that appear most often on Florida commercial specifications: the ES8000 storefront, the ES50 commercial window line, and the ES Curtainwall.

ES8000 Storefront

The ES8000 is ESWindows' primary DirectSet aluminum storefront for ground-floor and 2-story commercial construction. Pre-glazed with screw-spline construction, it accepts an integral ES-9000 door adaptor and carries active Miami-Dade NOA for Large Missile Impact applications. Standard in retail, medical, office, and institutional envelopes across Florida.

ES50 Window Line

The ES50 is a wide-stile commercial swing door and window line used on hospitality and multifamily projects where a heavier frame profile is specified. With a 5-inch stile width and LMI + SMI impact ratings, the ES50 handles the structural and impact demands of Florida's coastal commercial market. Coordinates with ES8000 storefront systems as the entrance component.

ES Curtainwall

ESWindows produces both stick-built and unitized curtainwall systems rated for mid- to high-rise commercial use. The ES-7525 stick curtainwall carries LMI + SMI impact ratings plus blast resistance (GSA Condition 2). The GW-7000 unitized curtainwall is Miami-Dade certified for LMI + SMI at DP +100/‑140 psf. ACG installs both systems on office, hospitality, and government envelopes.

Why ESWindows on Florida Commercial Projects

What makes ESWindows the right specification.

Florida commercial projects carry compliance obligations that eliminate systems without the right approvals. ESWindows and ACG together cover those requirements without piecemeal sourcing.

Miami-Dade NOA + FBC Product Approvals

ESWindows products carry active Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) numbers across the storefront, window wall, and curtainwall lines. ACG manages the NOA submittal process and coordinates the product approval documentation required under the Florida Building Code for HVHZ-permitted projects in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

Thermal Performance and Impact Ratings for HVHZ

The ES8000T thermally broken storefront (NOA 21-0914.03, exp. Aug 2031) and the GW-7000 unitized curtainwall both satisfy the concurrent thermal and hurricane-impact requirements that apply to Florida commercial projects — particularly ENERGY STAR-governed occupancies and LEED-targeted hotel and multifamily builds.

Single-Manufacturer Envelope vs. Piecemeal Scope

Specifying ESWindows for storefront, window wall, and curtainwall across a single project produces system-to-system coordination from one manufacturer's engineering team. Mullion profiles, thermal break geometry, and finish programs align across product categories, which reduces RFI exposure and simplifies the submittals package.

ACG's Direct ESWindows Commercial Relationship

ACG's standing as an authorized ESWindows installer means project pricing, lead-time coordination, and technical support flow through a direct channel — not a distributor layer. For Florida commercial schedules where glazing procurement lead time is on the critical path, this direct relationship matters.

Florida Code & HVHZ Compliance

HVHZ, wind load, and NOA — what it actually means.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) designation applies to Miami-Dade and Broward counties under the Florida Building Code. Every glazing system installed in HVHZ must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval with verified impact test results. ACG handles the submittal and coordination process for ESWindows systems on HVHZ projects.

HVHZ Counties and Wind Load Requirements

Miami-Dade and Broward counties require that fenestration products be tested and listed under an active Miami-Dade NOA. Wind speed design criteria in HVHZ typically exceeds 170 mph (Exposure D per ASCE 7). Design pressures for glazing in HVHZ commercial projects commonly range from ‑60 psf to ‑130 psf depending on building height, roof zone, and wall zone classification. ESWindows ES8000 is rated to DP +130/‑130 psf LMI.

Miami-Dade NOA HVHZ Compliant FBC Chapter 17

Impact Testing: ASTM E1996 and ASTM E1886

Products in HVHZ must pass ASTM E1886 (impact test method) and ASTM E1996 (performance specification for missile impact). Large Missile Impact (LMI) applies to floors 1–3 and uses a 9-pound 2x4 lumber missile at 50 ft/s. Small Missile Impact (SMI) applies at floor 4 and above, using 10 steel ball bearings at 130 ft/s. ESWindows ES8000, ES-7525, and GW-7000 all carry LMI ratings. ACG coordinates the impact test documentation required for permit submittals in HVHZ jurisdictions.

ASTM E1996 ASTM E1886 LMI / SMI Rated

Active ESWindows NOA Numbers (ACG Projects)

ACG submits the applicable NOA documentation with each HVHZ permit package. Key ESWindows NOAs in ACG's active project portfolio:

  • NOA 24-0321.07 — ES8000 Storefront, LMI, exp. Apr 2028
  • NOA 21-0914.03 — ES8000T Thermal Storefront, LMI, exp. Aug 2031
  • NOA 23-0724.09 — ES-7000 Window Wall, LMI, exp. Jul 2028
  • GW-7000 — Unitized Curtainwall, Miami-Dade certified, LMI + SMI

ACG Handles the NOA Submittal Process

For HVHZ projects, ACG prepares the product approval package including the applicable ESWindows NOA, glazing specs, and installation drawings stamped to meet Miami-Dade HVHZ permit requirements. This removes the burden from the GC's project manager and reduces the risk of a glazing hold-up during permit review. ACG's three Florida offices (West Palm Beach, Naples, Tampa) maintain active relationships with the applicable building departments across the state.

FAQ

Questions specifiers ask before they bid.

Who is an authorized ESWindows installer in Florida?

American Commercial Glass (ACG) is an authorized ESWindows installer operating across Florida from offices in West Palm Beach, Naples, and Tampa. ACG installs ESWindows commercial systems — including the ES8000 storefront, ES50 window line, and ES Curtainwall — on commercial projects statewide. License: FL CGC #1531993.

What ESWindows products does ACG install on commercial projects?

ACG installs the ES8000 DirectSet aluminum storefront (DP +130/‑130 psf, LMI-rated, NOA 24-0321.07), the ES8000T thermally broken storefront (NOA 21-0914.03), the ES50 commercial window line, and ES Curtainwall systems including the ES-7525 stick curtainwall (impact and blast rated) and the GW-7000 unitized curtainwall (Miami-Dade certified, LMI + SMI at DP +100/‑140 psf). ACG also installs the ES-7000/7100 window wall (DP +150/‑150 psf) on projects requiring pre-glazed window wall systems.

Does ESWindows have Miami-Dade NOA approval?

Yes. Multiple ESWindows products carry active Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approvals for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) use. The ES8000 storefront holds NOA 24-0321.07 (LMI, exp. April 2028). The ES8000T thermal storefront holds NOA 21-0914.03 (LMI, exp. August 2031). The GW-7000 unitized curtainwall is Miami-Dade certified for LMI and SMI. ACG handles NOA submittal documentation for applicable Florida projects in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

Is ACG a certified ESWindows commercial installer?

ACG is an authorized ESWindows installer for commercial projects. The company holds Florida General Contractor license CGC #1531993, carries $3 million single / $6 million aggregate bonding, and has installed ESWindows systems on 350+ Florida projects including hospitality, multifamily, medical, and commercial office scopes. ACG does not claim a higher certification tier than "authorized installer" — that is the manufacturer relationship designation that authorizes ACG to install ESWindows systems with factory technical support.

What is the lead time for ESWindows on a Florida commercial project?

Lead times depend on product type, finish, and glass specification. Standard ESWindows storefront systems (ES8000 series) typically run 8–14 weeks from approved shop drawings. Curtainwall and unitized systems require longer fabrication windows. Custom finishes and glass specifications add to lead time. ACG initiates the submittal and approval process early in the project schedule to protect the glazing lead time from becoming a schedule driver. Send plans early for a lead-time estimate specific to your project's product mix.

Where is ACG's coverage area for ESWindows installation?

ACG operates from three Florida offices — West Palm Beach, Naples, and Tampa — and covers commercial projects statewide. Regular ESWindows project coverage includes Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee, Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, and Duval counties. HVHZ projects in Miami-Dade and Broward are a regular part of ACG's commercial scope.
