CWS Hurricane Guard Vinyl Multi-Slide Door (Impact)

No. This vinyl multi-slide impact door carries Florida statewide Product Approval FL20838 but is not HVHZ-approved for Miami-Dade or Broward. It is LMI (Large Missile Impact) rated, so it offers impact-resistant laminated glass, but it cannot be permitted in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. If your project is in Miami-Dade or Broward, we'd point you to an HVHZ-approved CWS door, such as the aluminum sliding glass door in the same line, and confirm the right product at quote.

The CWS-1150B multi-slide is approved from a minimum of about 50.7 by 36 inches up to a maximum of roughly 580 by 120 inches per the configuration on file. That very wide maximum is what lets it create expansive, multi-panel openings that a standard slider can't. We measure your opening and confirm the panel layout and achievable width before ordering.

The CWS-1150B multi-slide impact door is rated to a design pressure of +65/-80 psf per its Florida approval, which is the wind load it's built to resist. Combined with its laminated impact glass, that makes it a strong choice for wind-driven coastal openings outside the HVHZ. We verify the required design pressure for your specific opening before installing.

The CWS-1150B uses a vinyl frame, which is low-maintenance and resists corrosion in salt-air coastal environments without the repainting an aluminum frame can need. That makes vinyl a practical pick for a large patio opening exposed to the elements. We install it as the vinyl multi-slide variant in the Hurricane Guard line.

Installed price depends on how many panels and how wide the opening is, the glass package, and the condition of the existing structure, so we don't quote a flat number. Because this door can span very large openings and uses laminated impact glass, it's priced as a large custom impact product.

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.
