Frequently Asked Questions
The AW640A is PGT's ClassicVue Max premium non-impact aluminum top-hinged awning window. It hinges at the top and cranks outward, so it can stay open for ventilation even during light rain, and it comes standard with a nesting handle and multi-point locking. We install it in South Florida non-HVHZ openings where you want airflow plus security, often over a sink, in a bathroom, or paired into a larger window assembly.
No, the AW640A is a non-impact aluminum awning, sold into Florida non-HVHZ counties where the code does not require impact glazing. It does carry Miami-Dade NOA 23-0816.16 for its tested structural performance, but that is not an impact-glass rating. If you need true hurricane impact protection, its counterpart is the WinGuard AW740A, and we'll confirm which one your jurisdiction and opening require at quote.
The AW640A awning runs from a minimum of about 22.5 by 17 inches up to a maximum of roughly 60 by 39 inches, and it's rated up to a design pressure of +90/-150 psf in its strongest configuration. Actual design pressure depends on the size and anchorage, so larger units carry lower ratings. We'll size the window and confirm the design pressure that fits your opening when we quote.
The AW640A offers Low-E glass packages with a U-factor of 0.71 to 0.72, a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) from 0.16 to 0.27, and visible transmittance from 0.05 to 0.45, plus a condensation resistance of 18. You can choose clear, bronze, gray, or green-tinted Low-E glass to balance light and solar control. For South Florida sun, we'll recommend a lower-SHGC package and walk you through the trade-off with how much daylight you want.
The AW640A comes in PGT's standard aluminum finishes of White, Bronze, Black, and Clear Anodize, with custom colors available, on a 2.75-inch frame. It uses a nesting handle as standard hardware, and grids are offered as a 1-inch raised or flat grid or a 9/16-inch flat grille between the glass. We coordinate the finish and grid with your other ClassicVue Max windows so the look stays consistent.
There's no flat price because the installed cost depends on the window size, the glass package and grid you choose, the frame finish, and the substrate the unit anchors into, since the AW640A is tested for many anchor conditions across concrete, metal, and wood. The condition of the existing opening also factors in. Armor Pro gives a free, no-obligation estimate; we'll measure the opening and price the AW640A for your project.
No — ClassicVue Max is a non-impact aluminum line, so it can't be installed in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of Miami-Dade and Broward, and it doesn't carry the Miami-Dade NOAs the impact lines do. It's built for Florida counties outside the HVHZ where the code does not require laminated impact glazing. Any opening that needs storm certification calls for WinGuard Aluminum instead, which is the impact line above it in the catalog.
ClassicVue Max is the premium non-impact aluminum tier, built to a coastal standard rather than a builder-basic one. It carries the same EnergyShield, EnergyShield Max, and Solar Control Low-E glass packages and the same full four-color aluminum palette as the flagship WinGuard Aluminum line, plus a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The aluminum construction is engineered to resist salt, heat, and moisture. It's the choice for a non-HVHZ home that still wants premium glass and finishes.
PGT has built impact windows and doors in Venice, Florida since 1980 and is the largest impact-window and -door manufacturer in the country. It was the first company to develop impact-resistant products that met Miami-Dade County's hurricane code after Hurricane Andrew, and the line is engineered specifically for Florida conditions. PGT is now part of the MITER Brands family, alongside WinDoor, ECO, and NewSouth, but the products are still made in Florida under the PGT name.
