Frequently Asked Questions
The CA5440 is PGT's EnergyVue non-impact vinyl casement window, hinged on the side so it cranks open with a foldaway handle for full ventilation and easy cleaning. It uses a multi-point lock for a tight seal and offers an optional TrueHold hinge upgrade for larger sizes. It is the non-impact counterpart of the WinGuard CA5540, built for inland, non-HVHZ Florida homes.
No, the CA5440 is a non-impact window, so it is not a hurricane impact product and should not be counted on for protection in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. It does hold Miami-Dade NOA 25-0710.02 (valid through September 17, 2030) for its tested wind-pressure and anchoring conditions, but that approval does not make it impact-rated. If you need an impact casement we install the WinGuard CA5540 instead, and we'll confirm which your opening requires.
With the standard hinge the CA5440 maxes out at 36 by 75 inches with a design pressure of +65/-114 psf, from a minimum of 17 by 20 inches. The optional TrueHold hinge upgrade increases the maximum to 40 by 84 inches and the design pressure to +65/-130 psf, so you can run a taller, stronger unit. We'll recommend the right hinge and confirm sizing for your opening at quote.
The CA5440 ranges from a U-factor of 0.28 to 0.31 with an SHGC of 0.15 to 0.26 depending on the glass package, which is among the best thermal performance in PGT's residential catalog. Its strongest option is the Argon/Energy Shield Max package at U-factor 0.28 and SHGC as low as 0.15. We'll help you choose the glass package that fits your sun exposure and energy goals.
The CA5440 comes standard in White, Beige, Bronze, and Black, plus two-tone Bronze-exterior/White-interior and Black-exterior/White-interior. The foldaway nesting handle keeps the sill clear for blinds and treatments, and you can add 7/8-inch Traditional Simulated Divided Lite grids or 9/16-inch, 13/16-inch, or 1-inch grids between the glass. We'll coordinate the finish across all your EnergyVue units.
There is no flat price on the CA5440 because the installed cost depends on the window size, whether you choose the TrueHold hinge upgrade, the glass package, and the anchoring substrate at your opening. As a non-impact window it generally costs less than the impact-rated CA5540 counterpart. Armor Pro gives a free, no-obligation estimate after we measure your openings.
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.
