Frequently Asked Questions
The CWS-7700 is the heavy-duty aluminum impact hinged (French) patio door in CWS's Hurricane Guard line. We install it with corrosion-resistant adjustable hinges and stainless-steel hardware, which is the build that earns it the heavy-duty designation. It's available in both single and double configurations, so we can fit it to a standard or wide opening.
Yes. The CWS-7700 is HVHZ-approved with an LMI (Large Missile Impact) rating, and we install it under Miami-Dade NOA 24-0116.12 and Florida Product Approval FL46530. That makes it suitable for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade and Broward. We'll confirm the current approval and your jurisdiction's requirements at the time of quote.
The CWS-7700 hinged patio door is approved from a minimum of 47.5 by 79.5 inches up to a maximum of 77 by 96 inches per the configuration on file. It's rated to a design pressure of +60/-60 psf, which is the wind load it's built to resist. We measure your opening and verify the size and required design pressure before ordering.
The CWS-7700 offers a wide range of laminated impact glass packages, including several Low-E options. For example, the LoE366 with PVB interlayer reaches a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) as low as 0.19 for strong heat rejection, while clear laminated glass runs up to about 0.45 SHGC for more light. All of the documented packages carry a U-factor of 1.07. We'll help you pick the package that fits your sun exposure and budget at quote.
The CWS-7700 comes in clear, gray, and bronze glass options across its laminated packages, with no-grid configurations on file. The frame is aluminum and is non-thermally broken per the certified glass-package notes, so the energy performance comes mainly from the Low-E and laminated glazing rather than the frame. We'll review the tint and glass choices with you when we quote.
Installed price depends on whether you choose a single or double configuration, the size of the opening, the glass package, and the condition of the existing frame, so we don't quote a flat number. The CWS-7700 is a heavy-duty HVHZ-rated aluminum door, so it's priced as a hurricane-rated product. 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.
