Frequently Asked Questions
The CWS-652D is a vinyl impact awning window in CWS's flagship Hurricane Guard line, top-hinged so it swings outward from the bottom for storm-shedding ventilation. Because the open sash sheds rain away from the opening, you can leave it cracked for airflow even during a passing shower. We install it on coastal Florida homes where you want ventilation plus impact protection, such as over a kitchen sink, in a bathroom, or high on a wall.
Yes, the 652D is LMI (Large Missile Impact) rated for Florida coastal installations, so its laminated impact glass is built to resist wind-borne debris. It is approved under Florida Product Approval FL15032. We'll confirm the rating and the approval that apply to your specific opening and address when we quote the job.
The 652D awning configuration is rated to a design pressure of approximately +65/-67.5 psf, which describes the wind load it's engineered to withstand. The product's structural specs also reflect strong negative-pressure capacity at the panel level. We confirm the exact rating that applies to your size and configuration at quote.
The 652D awning builds from a minimum of 20 by 17.875 inches up to a maximum of 48 by 36 inches. Awning windows are typically wider than they are tall, which fits that size envelope. We measure your rough opening and confirm the buildable size with CWS before ordering.
Both are vinyl LMI impact awning windows in the Hurricane Guard line, top-hinged and built for coastal Florida. The main difference is hardware: the 163E adds wash-hinge hardware that lets you clean the exterior glass from inside the home, while the 652D is the straightforward storm-shedding ventilation awning. We'll help you decide which fits your opening and budget at quote.
Installed price depends on the size of the opening, the glass package, and the condition of the existing opening, so we don't quote a flat number. Since the 652D maxes out at 48 by 36 inches, size is one of the cost drivers but awning windows are generally a smaller unit. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.
The aluminum Hurricane Guard products carry current Miami-Dade NOAs and are HVHZ-eligible end to end, covering single-hung, slider, picture, casement, hinged patio door, and sliding glass door. The vinyl Hurricane Guard products carry Florida statewide approvals with more limited HVHZ coverage. For a Miami-Dade or Broward project we generally spec the aluminum side, and we confirm the exact approval against your opening size before ordering.
Hurricane Guard is unusual in offering both substrates under one name. Aluminum carries the higher design pressures and the full HVHZ approval set, so it's the choice where the span, the pressure, or the HVHZ code demands it. Vinyl runs cooler thermally and lands at a lower price, which suits non-HVHZ openings where budget and energy lead. We can mix both within one house, choosing per opening.
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.
