Frequently Asked Questions
The Comfort Shield picture window is a vinyl non-impact fixed window built for unobstructed views, so it doesn't open. We install it on inland Florida homes where the code does not require impact glazing and you want a large, clean expanse of glass to bring in light and a view. It's commonly paired with operable windows on either side when you want both airflow and a big central view.
The Comfort Shield picture window is built from a minimum of 11.5 by 11.5 inches up to a maximum of 108 inches wide, with up to 40 square feet of glazing area. That makes it the line's choice for wide, dramatic view openings. We measure your opening and confirm the buildable size and glass area with CWS before ordering.
The Comfort Shield picture window uses a multichambered vinyl frame for structural rigidity and is rated AAMA Performance Class CW30 to CW50, the highest class in the Comfort Shield family. Because it's a fixed unit with no operating sash, it can be engineered for that stronger structural performance. That said, it is still a non-impact product, so it isn't a substitute for an impact window in HVHZ areas.
With the dual-pane Low-E 270 insulating glass and argon, the Comfort Shield picture window reaches a U-factor as low as 0.26 and a SHGC around 0.21. Stepping up to the triple-pane Low-E 270 with argon improves the U-factor to about 0.19, the best in the Comfort Shield line. Since picture windows are usually large, a good Low-E package matters here, and we'll help you choose the right glass for your project.
No. The Comfort Shield picture window is a vinyl non-impact window and is not approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade or Broward, despite carrying the line's highest AAMA Performance Class. If your project requires impact protection, we install CWS's impact-rated lines instead. We'll confirm what your jurisdiction requires 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, and large picture windows naturally use more glass. The Comfort Shield picture window 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.
