Frequently Asked Questions

The Comfort Shield horizontal sliding window is a vinyl non-impact window that opens side-to-side on durable sash rollers rather than going up and down. We install it on inland Florida homes where the code does not require impact glazing and the opening is wider than it is tall. Sliders are an easy-to-operate choice over a kitchen counter or in a bedroom where a tall sash would be awkward to reach.

The Comfort Shield slider is built from a minimum of 21.5 by 11.5 inches up to a maximum of 96 by 62 inches, so it covers some of the widest openings in the Comfort Shield line. That makes it a strong fit for broad horizontal openings. We measure your rough opening and confirm the buildable size with CWS before ordering.

Yes. AutoLock automatic locking is standard on the Comfort Shield slider, so the window secures itself when you slide it shut without a separate latch step. An optional limited-opening device is also available if you want to cap how far the sash can slide, which is useful for child safety or ventilation control. We can spec the limited-opening device for you at quote.

With the dual-pane Low-E 270 insulating glass and argon, the Comfort Shield slider reaches a U-factor as low as 0.27 and a SHGC around 0.20. The triple-pane Low-E 270 with argon improves the U-factor to about 0.20 for better insulation. Both packages cut Florida solar heat gain, and we'll help you pick the one that fits your comfort and budget targets.

No. The Comfort Shield slider is a vinyl non-impact window rated AAMA Performance Class R25 to R50, and it is not approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade or Broward. If your project requires impact protection, we install CWS's impact-rated lines instead. We'll confirm what your specific opening and jurisdiction need at the time of quote.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the size of the opening, the glass package you choose, and the condition of the existing frame. The Comfort Shield slider is part of CWS's value-oriented vinyl line, which keeps it budget-friendly for inland projects. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.

No. Comfort Shield is CWS's vinyl non-impact line, built for inland Florida residential and light-commercial projects where the building code does not require impact glazing. It does not carry a Miami-Dade NOA and is not for coastal HVHZ exposure. If your address needs impact glass, we'd move you to StormStrong for entry coastal impact or Hurricane Guard for HVHZ.

Comfort Shield is the broadest CWS non-impact line, with seven configurations: single-hung, double-hung, casement, awning, sliding window, picture window, and a sliding patio door. That range lets us handle most of an inland home from one line. To see how the styles look together on your elevation, you can use our Window and Door Designer and Visualizer.

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.
