Overview

About the Scout Aluminum

Scout is PGT's builder-grade aluminum window, the most basic line in the catalog and the one that fits new-construction budgets where the address does not require impact glass. It is non-impact aluminum in four SKUs (single hung, horizontal roller, picture, and architectural shapes), offered in White and Bronze, and it exists to put a durable, code-compliant PGT window in a non-HVHZ home at the lowest price the brand makes.

Because the line is deliberately narrow, Armor Pro treats it as a spec-and-builder option rather than a custom one: pick the operation style and a standard finish, and it goes in. Owners searching for the former CGI Scout windows find the same product under the PGT name after the acquisition.

When a project wants more (premium glass packages, more colors, a lifetime warranty, or larger sizes) the step up is ClassicVue Max, PGT's premium non-impact aluminum line. When the address falls inside the HVHZ or the owner wants storm protection regardless of jurisdiction, neither non-impact line qualifies and the answer is WinGuard. Armor Pro uses Scout where the brief is genuinely budget new-construction outside the hurricane zone, and points homeowners up the range as soon as performance or appearance becomes the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

No — Scout is PGT's non-impact aluminum value line, so it can't be installed in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and doesn't carry impact certification. It's a builder-grade window built for new-construction homes outside the HVHZ where the code does not require impact glazing. If your address falls inside Miami-Dade or Broward, or you want storm protection regardless of jurisdiction, the answer is the impact-rated WinGuard line, not Scout.

Scout is deliberately narrow — four window styles only: single hung, horizontal roller, fixed picture, and architectural shapes, in white or bronze. There's no casement, awning, or sliding door in the Scout line, so a Scout-spec house pulls those openings from a different line. We treat it as a spec-and-builder option: pick the operation style and a standard finish, and it goes in.

Scout exists to put a durable, code-compliant PGT window in a non-HVHZ home at the lowest price the brand makes — the right fit for genuine budget new-construction outside the hurricane zone. When a project wants premium glass packages, more colors, a Limited Lifetime Warranty, or larger sizes, the step up is ClassicVue Max, PGT's premium non-impact aluminum line. The moment the address or the owner's risk tolerance calls for impact glass, neither non-impact line qualifies and the answer is WinGuard.

Yes. Like Sparta, Scout came over from the CGI acquisition and was rebranded under the PGT name, so owners who knew it as CGI Scout find the same product today. The change was the badge, not the windows. We can match and service Scout regardless of which name was on it when it was installed.
