Frequently Asked Questions
The CWS-7400 is the aluminum impact casement in the CWS Hurricane Guard line, side-hinged so it cranks outward for ventilation and seals tight when closed. It uses a fold-away zinc crank, stainless-steel hinges, and a color-matched low-profile handle, and a companion direct-set approval lets us pair it with fixed lites in a single assembly. We recommend the aluminum CWS-7400 over the vinyl casement when you want narrower sightlines and a stronger structural frame for taller or higher-pressure openings.
Yes. The CWS-7400 is HVHZ-approved and LMI impact-rated, so we can install it in Miami-Dade and Broward. It carries Miami-Dade NOA 24-0116.11 and NOA 25-0929.09 (both expiring 2029-03-04) along with Florida Product Approval FL46531.R0. We confirm the governing NOA for your exact opening at the time of quote.
The CWS-7400 casement is built to a maximum of 37 inches wide, and the aluminum frame supports panel heights up to about 74.25 inches. Its configuration-level design pressure is +60/70 psf, and the product is structurally rated to +70/-82 psf. We size each unit to your opening and confirm the final design pressure on your quote.
The CWS-7400 offers a wide range of laminated glass packages with Low-E 270, Low-E 340, and Low-E 366 coatings in clear, gray, and bronze tints, all built on a 0.090 PVB or SentryGlas interlayer. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient ranges from about 0.54 on clear non-Low-E glass down to 0.21 on a Low-E 366 gray laminate, with visible transmittance from roughly 0.59 down to 0.20. Because the aluminum frame is non-thermally-broken, the unit's U-factor is 1.09; we'll help you pick the package that best balances heat control and daylight for your rooms.
The CWS-7400 is approved in XX, XO, and OX configurations, so it can be built as a pair of operable casements or as an operable casement combined with a fixed lite. A companion direct-set approval also covers paired fixed-lite-with-operable assemblies, which is useful for wider window walls. We lay out the operable and fixed sections to match how you want the room to ventilate and view.
Installed pricing for the CWS-7400 depends on the size, the glass package and tint, the configuration, and the condition of your opening. Armor Pro is your installer, so we handle measurement, HVHZ permitting, and installation, and we provide a free in-home estimate. Reach out and we'll measure, confirm the NOA and design pressure for your opening, and give you a firm installed price.
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.
