CWS WeatherLite Sunroom Patio Doors

No. The WeatherLite sunroom patio 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, not a code-approved impact slider. If you want an impact-rated sliding glass door for a primary exterior opening, we install those separately and can review the options with you.

They use an aluminum frame, which is the standard structure across CWS's WeatherLite sunroom enclosure products. Aluminum keeps the sliding patio door lightweight and suited to porch and lanai enclosures. We install these as part of the WeatherLite system to give an enclosed space a sliding way in and out.

Both are sliding doors in the WeatherLite sunroom line, but they sit in different glazing tiers within that family. The WeatherLite Glass Sliding Sunroom Patio Door uses glass, while the WeatherLite sunroom patio doors are the aluminum-framed enclosure sliders for opening a porch to the outdoors. At quote we'll explain the WeatherLite tiers so you can match the door to how you'll use the sunroom.

Yes, these aluminum-framed sliding doors are designed to open an enclosed porch or lanai to the outdoors, so we can install them as part of a new enclosure or work them into an existing WeatherLite setup. Because they're non-impact, we'd use them for the enclosure and point you to impact-rated doors if a primary opening needs code protection. We measure the opening and confirm the right configuration before installing.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the door's size, the WeatherLite glazing tier, and the condition of the existing porch opening. The WeatherLite line is CWS's budget-oriented outdoor-living family, which is part of why we recommend it for cost-conscious enclosure projects. 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.
