Frequently Asked Questions
The SH7700A is PGT's WinGuard Aluminum single-hung window, the most common operation style on Florida homes. The bottom sash slides up to open while the top stays fixed, which makes it a dependable, budget-friendly choice for bedrooms, living rooms, and most standard wall openings. It is built on the WinGuard 7700-series aluminum frame with PGT's proprietary Diamond Glass impact glazing.
Yes. The SH7700A is LMI (Large Missile Impact) rated and carries Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) 23-0707.10, valid through August 23, 2028. That approval clears it for installation throughout the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. We confirm the current NOA and the design pressure for your opening at the time of quote.
The SH7700A runs from a minimum of 14.25 by 24.75 inches up to a maximum of 53.125 inches wide by 84 inches tall. At those sizes it carries a design pressure of up to +80/-110 psf, which suits typical South Florida wind exposures. We size each unit to your opening and verify the rating before ordering.
The SH7700A uses a 13/16-inch laminated insulating glass unit and offers Energy Shield, Energy Shield Max, and SolarControl LowE2 packages, with optional argon fill. U-factors run about 0.51 to 0.58 and SHGC from roughly 0.20 to 0.33 depending on the package and grids. For South Florida heat, we usually recommend the argon Energy Shield Max or SolarControl LowE2 for the lowest solar heat gain.
The SH7700A comes in White as standard, plus Bronze, Black, and Clear Anodized aluminum frame finishes. Standard hardware includes a heavy-duty balance system, a patented bottom lock with a visual lock/unlock indicator, deluxe sweep locks, a vent latch, and integrated lift rails for easy operation. A Window Opening Control Device is also available where child-safety opening limits are desired, and grids come as a 1-inch raised/flat or 9/16-inch flat grid-between-the-glass.
Installed cost depends on the window size, the glass package, the number of openings, and the condition of each opening, so Armor Pro provides a free estimate rather than a flat per-window price. Single-hung windows like the SH7700A are typically the most economical impact operation style, which is why they make up the bulk of many whole-home jobs. We'll measure your openings, recommend a glass package for your exposure, and give you a written quote.
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.
