Frequently Asked Questions
The SH5400 is PGT's EnergyVue non-impact vinyl single-hung window, built on a 3-1/2 inch welded vinyl frame. Single-hung is the most common operation style on Florida homes because the bottom sash raises to vent while the top stays fixed, which is simple, durable, and economical. We install the SH5400 in non-HVHZ counties as a like-for-like replacement for older single-hung windows.
No. The SH5400 is non-impact, so we don't install it inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone where the code requires impact glazing. Its direct impact counterpart is PGT's WinGuard SH5500, which we install in HVHZ areas. We'll confirm at quote whether your address requires the impact version.
The SH5400 runs from a minimum of 16.25 by 23.5 inches up to a maximum of about 52.125 inches wide by 84 inches tall in the O/X equal configuration, carrying a +65/-130 psf design pressure rating. That covers most standard Florida window openings as a direct replacement. We'll confirm the exact sizes that fit your rough openings during the free measure.
EnergyVue offers the best thermal performance in PGT's residential catalog, and on the SH5400 we can spec U-factors from 0.29 to 0.33. SHGC drops as low as 0.18 with the Argon/Energy Shield Max package with grids. Glass options run from Energy Shield (U 0.33, SHGC 0.31) up to Argon/Energy Shield Max (U 0.29, SHGC 0.20), and we'll recommend the package that best balances heat rejection and daylight for your home's exposure.
The SH5400 includes a standard sweep latch and vent latch, with an optional vent limiter and the ComfortLift handle that makes raising the sash easier. Frame finishes are White, Beige, Bronze, and Black, plus two-tone Bronze Exterior/White Interior and Black Exterior/White Interior. Grid choices include 7/8" Traditional Simulated Divided Lite and grids-between-the-glass in 9/16" flat, 13/16" flat, or 1" contour.
Installed price depends on the size of each opening, the glass package you choose, and the condition of the existing frames, so there's no flat per-window price. As a PGT installer, Armor Pro provides a free in-home estimate where we measure every opening, confirm the right glass, hardware, and finish, and price the complete installed job. Because the SH5400 is non-impact, we'll also verify that your county doesn't require impact glazing.
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.
