Frequently Asked Questions
The PW5420 is PGT's EnergyVue non-impact vinyl standard-profile fixed picture window, built on the same 3-1/2 inch vinyl frame platform as PGT's WinGuard line. As a fixed picture unit it doesn't open, so we install it where you want an unobstructed view and maximum daylight. It's suited for Florida non-HVHZ counties where the building code does not require impact glazing.
No. The PW5420 is non-impact, so we don't install it inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone where impact glazing is required. If you need an impact-rated picture window, its direct counterpart is PGT's WinGuard PW5520, which we install in HVHZ areas. We'll confirm which one your address and code require when we quote the job.
The PW5420 runs from a minimum of 10 by 16 inches up to a maximum glazed area of 50 square feet per fixed unit, with a design pressure rating of +80/-98.2 psf. For larger window walls we can combine multiple PW5420 units or pair them with operable EnergyVue styles. We'll lay out the exact sizes that fit your rough openings during the free measure.
EnergyVue offers the best thermal performance in PGT's residential catalog. On the PW5420 we can spec U-factors from 0.26 to 0.30 depending on glass, and SHGC as low as 0.20 with the Argon/Energy Shield Max package. Glass options range from Energy Shield (U 0.30, SHGC 0.34) up to Argon/Energy Shield Max (U 0.26, SHGC 0.20), and we'll recommend the package that best balances heat rejection and daylight for your exposure.
The PW5420 frame comes standard in White, Beige, Bronze, and Black, plus two-tone options of Bronze Exterior/White Interior and Black Exterior/White Interior. For grids you can choose 7/8" Traditional Simulated Divided Lite, or grids-between-the-glass in 9/16" flat, 13/16" flat, or 1" contour. We'll help you match the finish and grid pattern to your home's existing windows.
Installed price depends on the size of the opening, the glass package you choose, and the condition of the existing frame, so there's no single sticker price. As a PGT installer, Armor Pro gives a free in-home estimate where we measure, confirm the right glass and finish, and price the complete installed job. Because the PW5420 is non-impact, we'll also confirm at quote that your county doesn't require impact glazing for that 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.
