Frequently Asked Questions
The AR7720A is offered in 25 standard architectural shapes, including half circle, eyebrow, trapezoid, arch, and quadrafoil. It's a fixed (non-operating) accent window built on the WinGuard 7720 picture platform, so we install it above doors and standard windows to finish off a custom look. We'll help you pick the shape that matches your opening and elevation.
Yes. The AR7720A is LMI (Large Missile Impact) rated and HVHZ-approved for installation throughout Miami-Dade and Broward's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. It's part of PGT's WinGuard Aluminum line, which carries one of the deepest Miami-Dade NOA libraries in the industry. We confirm the applicable approval for your shape and size at the time of quote.
The AR7720A's fixed architectural shape runs from a minimum of 14.5 by 14.5 inches up to a maximum of 42 square feet. It carries a strong design pressure rating of +90/-130 psf, which is well-suited to high-exposure South Florida elevations. We verify the rating against your exact shape and dimensions before ordering.
The AR7720A offers a wide range of insulated impact glass packages, from Energy Shield to Energy Shield Max, SolarControl LowE2, and argon-filled versions, all on a 1-inch laminated insulating glass unit. U-factors run from 0.39 to 0.47 and SHGC from 0.21 to 0.36 depending on the package and whether you add grids. We'll recommend the package that best balances heat control and clarity for your home.
The AR7720A comes in White as standard, plus Bronze, Black, and Clear Anodized finishes. For grids, you can choose a 1-inch raised/flat profile or a 9/16-inch flat grid-between-the-glass style. Because architectural windows are usually paired with standard units, we match the finish and grid to the rest of your install.
No, the AR7720A is a fixed architectural-shape window, so it does not open or vent; it's an accent unit designed to complete a custom window arrangement. Installed cost depends on the shape you choose, the glass package, and the opening, so Armor Pro provides a free estimate rather than a flat per-window price. We typically install these alongside the operating WinGuard windows below them for a coordinated look.
WinGuard Aluminum is PGT's flagship aluminum impact line and runs the full operation range on one extrusion platform: single hung, horizontal roller, casement, awning, fixed picture, architectural shapes, plus sliding glass doors and French doors. Because every style shares the same frame family, a whole house can be specified consistently instead of mixing systems opening by opening. It's been PGT's reference impact-window platform in Florida since 1998.
Yes. Every WinGuard Aluminum product is large-missile impact-rated and eligible for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The line carries one of the deepest Miami-Dade NOA libraries in the industry, glazed with PGT's Diamond Glass laminated impact glass. The exact design pressure depends on the size and configuration of each opening, which we confirm against the Florida Building Code on your quote.
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.
