Frequently Asked Questions
It's a multi-panel vinyl sliding door (model CWS-1149C) in CWS's Hurricane Guard line that opens up wide spans for an expansive patio or lanai connection. We install it for inland Florida homes that want a large walk-through opening but don't require impact glass. It's the non-impact version of the CWS multi-slide, so it's a more cost-conscious option where storm-rated glazing isn't mandated.
No. This door (CWS-1149C) is a non-impact product and is not approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade or Broward. If you need impact protection, we'd steer you to the CWS Hurricane Guard Vinyl Multi-Slide Door (Impact), which uses laminated impact glass in the same multi-panel design. We'll confirm what your jurisdiction and opening require at the time of quote.
The CWS-1149C 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 allows it to create large, multi-panel openings. We measure your opening and confirm the panel layout and achievable width before ordering.
The CWS-1149C non-impact multi-slide is rated to a design pressure of +65/-80 psf and carries Florida statewide Product Approval FL20834. That design pressure reflects the wind load the unit is built to resist, but it remains a non-impact door, so it isn't a substitute for impact glazing in coastal or HVHZ areas. We verify the required design pressure for your opening before installing.
The CWS-1149C uses a vinyl frame, which is low-maintenance and a budget-friendly choice for inland projects. Vinyl resists corrosion and doesn't need the periodic repainting an aluminum frame can require. We install it as the non-impact vinyl multi-slide variant in the Hurricane Guard line for homeowners who want a wide opening without impact glass.
Installed price depends on how many panels and how wide the opening is, plus the condition of the existing structure, so we don't quote a flat number. As a non-impact door, the CWS-1149C is generally more economical than its impact counterpart, which is part of why we recommend it for inland openings. 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.
