Frequently Asked Questions
The AR5440 is PGT's EnergyVue non-impact vinyl architectural-shape window, built to match the casement profile so you get continuous sightlines across arched bays and shaped openings. We install it where you want a fixed decorative shape over or beside operating EnergyVue casements. Because it is non-impact, it suits inland, non-HVHZ Florida projects where the code does not require impact glazing.
No. The AR5440 is a non-impact window, so it is not approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and we do not install it in Miami-Dade or Broward as a primary hurricane defense. If you need an impact-rated architectural shape, the AR5440's direct counterpart is the PGT WinGuard AR5540 on the same vinyl frame platform, which we can quote instead. We'll confirm which one your county and opening require before you order.
The AR5440 architectural shape (O configuration) runs from a minimum of 12.5 by 18 inches up to a maximum of 50 square feet. It carries a design pressure of +80/-98.2 psf for wind loads. We measure each opening and confirm the achievable size and rating at the time of quote.
EnergyVue is the best-performing thermal line in PGT's residential catalog, and the AR5440 ranges from a U-factor of 0.26 to 0.30 with an SHGC of 0.18 to 0.31 depending on the glass package. With the Argon/Energy Shield Max package the AR5440 reaches U-factor 0.26 and SHGC as low as 0.18, which is its strongest combination of insulation and solar-heat control. We'll match the glass package to your sun exposure and energy goals when we quote.
The AR5440 comes standard in White, Beige, Bronze, and Black, plus two-tone Bronze-exterior/White-interior and Black-exterior/White-interior. For decorative shapes we can add 7/8-inch Traditional Simulated Divided Lite grids, or 9/16-inch, 13/16-inch, or 1-inch Contour grids between the glass. We'll help you pick a finish and grid that match your casements and home style.
There is no flat price on the AR5440 because it is a made-to-order shape; the installed cost depends on the size and geometry of the shape, the glass package you choose, and the condition of the opening. As a non-impact window it is generally less than the impact-rated AR5540 counterpart. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after we measure your opening.
No — EnergyVue is a non-impact vinyl line, so it cannot be installed in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of Miami-Dade and Broward, and it isn't the right choice for any opening that needs a Notice of Acceptance. It belongs on inland Florida addresses where the building code does not require laminated impact glazing. If you're inside the HVHZ or you want storm protection regardless of jurisdiction, the impact counterpart is WinGuard Vinyl, which uses the same frame.
EnergyVue is the line for projects driven by the energy bill rather than the wind map. It posts the best thermal performance in PGT's residential catalog — U-factors from about 0.27 to 0.32 with the EnergyShield Max Low-E package — which is low enough to move a utility bill and clear ENERGY STAR for the climate zone. The welded vinyl frame also resists salt-air corrosion and never needs repainting. We spec it for inland, energy-focused homes where impact glass isn't required by code.
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.
