Frequently Asked Questions
The StormStrong 6100 Oriel is the impact-rated vinyl single-hung from CWS's entry-tier StormStrong line, built on the same vinyl extrusion as the standard 6100 single-hung. The Oriel configuration uses a taller fixed upper lite over a shorter operable lower sash, so you get more uninterrupted glass up top while still being able to open the bottom for ventilation. We install it on Florida coastal replacement and new-construction projects outside the Miami-Dade and Broward HVHZ where you want a budget-friendly impact window with a different sash proportion than the standard single-hung.
Yes. The 6100 Oriel is a Large Missile Impact (LMI) certified window, so it's a true impact unit, not just a heavier non-impact pane. It carries Florida Product Approval FL18148.R5 for statewide use. Keep in mind StormStrong is engineered for Florida coastal counties outside the HVHZ and is not HVHZ-approved for Miami-Dade or Broward, so we'll confirm the correct rating for your specific jurisdiction at quote.
The 6100 Oriel single-hung is rated up to 53-1/8 inches wide by 76 inches tall in its O/X (fixed-over-operable) configuration. It carries a design pressure of +50/-50 psf, which is the wind load the unit is built to resist. We measure your rough opening and confirm the size and design pressure your project requires before ordering.
The 6100 Oriel uses an insulated impact package with a laminated lite bonded by a SentryGlas ionoplast interlayer, which is a stiffer, stronger interlayer than standard PVB. The fixed upper sash is a 7/8-inch insulated unit of 3/16-inch annealed glass, a 1/4-inch airspace, and a 7/16-inch laminated lite, while the operable lower sash is a 7/8-inch insulated unit with a 5/16-inch laminated lite. We'll walk you through the exact makeup for your order so you know what's going into the opening.
The 6100 Oriel has a vinyl frame, the same extrusion platform CWS uses across the StormStrong 6100 single-hung and 6150 picture window. Vinyl is low-maintenance and a cost-effective choice for impact replacement work in coastal Florida. We install StormStrong as CWS's entry-tier vinyl impact line for homeowners who want certified impact protection without stepping up to a premium series.
We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the size of the opening, the glass package, and the condition of your existing frame. The StormStrong line is CWS's entry-tier vinyl impact series, so it's one of the more budget-friendly certified impact options we install in coastal Florida. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.
No. StormStrong is impact-rated to 50 psf design pressure and carries Florida statewide approval, which covers coastal counties outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone but not Miami-Dade or Broward. For an HVHZ address we step up to the aluminum Hurricane Guard line. StormStrong is the value impact choice when your county requires impact glass but not the highest pressures.
StormStrong is deliberately narrow: two vinyl families on one extrusion platform, the 6100 single-hung (including an Oriel variant with a taller fixed upper sash) and the 6150 fixed picture window. There is no casement, awning, slider, or door in the line. If your project mixes those styles, we either spec them from another line or move the whole package up to Hurricane Guard so everything matches.
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.
