Frequently Asked Questions
The Aria Picture window is an entry-level, fixed (non-opening) vinyl window from CWS's budget Aria line. We install it on inland replacement projects where the priority is a low-cost, energy-efficient fixed pane rather than coastal impact protection. Because it's a picture window, it doesn't open, so it's a good fit for letting in light and views where ventilation isn't needed.
No. The Aria vinyl picture window is a non-impact window and is not approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade or Broward. If your project requires impact protection, we'd steer you to an impact-rated CWS line such as Comfort Shield instead. We'll confirm what your specific opening and jurisdiction require at the time of quote.
The Aria Picture window is rated to a design pressure of +50/-50 psf in its standard fixed configuration. That tells you the wind load the unit is built to resist, but it is still a non-impact product, so it isn't a substitute for an impact window in coastal or HVHZ areas. We verify the required design pressure for your opening before installing.
CWS publishes the Aria Picture window in a standard fixed-window configuration rated to +50/-50 psf. Picture windows are typically sized to the opening, so we measure your rough opening and confirm available sizing with CWS during the quote. Since it's a fixed unit, the full glass area is dedicated to the view with no operating sash interrupting it.
The Aria Picture window uses a vinyl frame, which is CWS's entry-tier framing material in the Aria line. Vinyl is low-maintenance and a budget-friendly choice for inland replacement work. We install these for projects that want a clean, energy-conscious fixed window without the cost of an aluminum or impact frame.
We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the size of the opening, the glass package, and the condition of the existing frame. The Aria line is CWS's most budget-oriented vinyl series, which is part of why we recommend it for cost-driven inland projects. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.
No. Aria is CWS's entry-tier non-impact vinyl line, rated to roughly 50 psf design pressure with no impact rating and no HVHZ approval. It is a price-floor product for inland replacement work where budget is the priority and the code does not require impact glass. For any coastal exposure we'd spec an impact line such as StormStrong or Hurricane Guard.
On the CWS catalog the only Aria product built out for the public is the picture (fixed) window, which is designed to mull and match with an Aria single-hung where one is available through the dealer catalog. In practice Aria is a thin, vestigial line. If you want a fuller non-impact vinyl range, Comfort Shield covers single-hung, double-hung, casement, awning, slider, picture, and a patio door.
CWS (Custom Window Systems) is a Florida manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Ocala, with additional plants in Miami, Medley, and Jacksonville totaling more than 700,000 square feet. Because the line is engineered and built in Florida around the state's hurricane code, the products are designed for our climate rather than adapted to it. We install and service CWS products throughout South Florida.
