CWS WeatherLite Hinged Sunroom Door (1000 Aluminum Guardian)

No. The WeatherLite Hinged Sunroom Door is a non-impact product and is not approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade or Broward. It's an outdoor-living enclosure door built for weather sealing and security, not for storm impact. If you need an impact-rated entry door on your home, we'd quote a CWS impact line separately.

The 1000 Aluminum Guardian is built as a solid-core, outswing prime door rated up to 37-1/4 inches wide by 81 inches tall, with a design pressure of +40/-40 psf. That design pressure is the wind load the door is built to resist, though it remains a non-impact door. We measure your opening and confirm the size and rating your project needs before ordering.

This is a heavy aluminum outswing door with a solid-core slab and a solid lockset, which is why we recommend it where weather sealing and security matter most. The outswing design and solid construction help it seal tightly against wind-driven rain on an enclosed porch. We install it as the hinged-door option in the WeatherLite line for homeowners who want a more substantial door than a typical screen-room slider.

The 1000 Aluminum Guardian uses a heavy aluminum frame, the shared framing platform across the CWS WeatherLite enclosure line. Aluminum gives the door its weight and durability while resisting Florida humidity. We install it as the solid hinged-door option within that sunroom family.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the door size, the configuration, and the condition of your existing opening. The 1000 Aluminum Guardian is a heavier, more solid door than a typical screen-room slider, which factors into the cost. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.

No. WeatherLite is CWS's outdoor-living enclosure system, and the sunroom windows, doors, and the Convertible garage screen are all non-impact and not rated for HVHZ. They're built for ventilation, light, and weather screening on porches, lanais, and pool cages, not for storm protection. If you want an enclosed space that also meets impact code, that's a different product, and we can explain the options.

WeatherLite is offered in three glazing tiers on a shared powder-coated aluminum frame: glass (the premium, energy-efficient, Low-E option), acrylic (a 4-mil UV-resistant rigid sheet popular for pool enclosures), and soft-vinyl (a flexible 10-mil film that returns to shape and suits budget porch enclosures). The tiers are different choices for different uses rather than strict good-better-best, and we help match the tier to how you'll use the space.

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.
