Frequently Asked Questions

The CWS-7200 is the aluminum impact horizontal slider in CWS's Hurricane Guard line. We install it in both 2-track and 3-track configurations, which makes it a good fit for wider residential openings. The standard operating layout is XO or OX, meaning one fixed and one sliding panel side by side.

Yes. The CWS-7200 is HVHZ-approved with an LMI (Large Missile Impact) rating, and it carries Miami-Dade NOA coverage along with Florida Product Approval FL46525.R0. That qualifies it for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade and Broward. We'll confirm the current approval and what your specific opening requires at the time of quote.

The CWS-7200 slider is approved from a minimum of 21 by 13.5 inches up to a maximum of about 125.6 by 63 inches per the configuration on file, which is why it works for wide openings. It carries a design pressure of +35/-60 psf. We measure your opening and confirm the size and required design pressure before ordering.

The CWS-7200 uses a laminated insulated glass unit with a 0.090-inch PVB interlayer bonded to annealed glass on the inboard side, a 0.250-inch air space, for a total glass thickness of about 0.340 inch. The laminated PVB layer is what holds the glass together on impact instead of letting it break free. That laminated, insulated makeup is also what supports its impact rating and energy performance.

The CWS-7200 offers a range of laminated glass packages, including several Low-E options in clear, gray, and bronze tints. SHGC runs from about 0.62 on clear laminated glass down to roughly 0.24 on a LoE366 package for stronger heat rejection, and the documented packages carry a U-factor of 1.11. We'll help you choose the glass that fits your sun exposure and energy goals when we quote.

Installed price depends on whether you choose a 2-track or 3-track configuration, the width of the opening, the glass package, and the condition of the existing frame, so we don't quote a flat number. The CWS-7200 is an HVHZ-rated aluminum impact slider, 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.
