Frequently Asked Questions

The CA640A is PGT's ClassicVue Max premium non-impact aluminum casement window that opens outward using a foldaway crank handle, with multi-point locking for a tight seal. It comes in single, double, and triple sash configurations and offers an optional wash hinge so you can clean the exterior glass from inside the home. We install it on South Florida non-HVHZ projects where homeowners want a clean sightline and easy crank-open ventilation.

No, the CA640A is a non-impact aluminum casement, sold into Florida non-HVHZ counties where the code does not require impact glazing. It carries Miami-Dade NOA 23-0816.11 for its tested structural performance, but that is not an impact-glass rating. If your opening needs true hurricane impact protection, we'd steer you to PGT's WinGuard impact line instead and confirm the right product for your jurisdiction at quote.

The CA640A is offered as a single sash from about 18.5 by 17 inches up to 37 by 76 inches at +90/-150 psf, a two-sash unit up to 74 by 63 inches, and three-sash XOX units up to 120 by 63 inches, both rated +70/-90 psf. Design pressure depends on size and configuration, so wider multi-sash units carry a different rating than a tall single sash. We'll lay out the configuration that fits your opening and confirm the design pressure when we quote.

The CA640A offers Low-E glass packages with a U-factor of 0.71, a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) from 0.16 to 0.27, and visible transmittance from 0.05 to 0.45, with a condensation resistance of 18. You can pick clear, bronze, gray, or green-tinted Low-E glass to balance daylight against solar control. For South Florida sun we'll usually recommend a lower-SHGC package and walk you through how much light you want to keep.

The CA640A is available in PGT's standard aluminum finishes of White, Bronze, Black, and Clear Anodize, with custom colors offered, on a 2.75-inch frame. It uses a foldaway nesting handle as standard, and an optional wash hinge lets you reach the outside of the glass from inside. Grids are offered as a 1-inch raised or flat grid or a 9/16-inch flat grille between the glass, and we'll coordinate the look with any AW640A awnings or PW640A picture windows in the same wall.

There's no flat price because the installed cost depends on whether it's a single, double, or triple sash, the overall size, the glass package and grid you choose, the finish, and the substrate it anchors into, since the CA640A is tested for many anchor conditions across masonry, metal, and wood. The condition of the existing opening also matters. Armor Pro gives a free, no-obligation estimate; we'll measure the opening and price the CA640A 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.
