Generally, PGT price ranges fall into the mid range to high end for all replacement windows and patio doors (both impact and non-impact). The company is considered a very reliable manufacturer that delivers durable and well made vinyl and aluminum windows. Scroll down to view all of our PGT impact windows price list and pricing information on all of their available windows and doors.

My Take On PGT: The company has a reputation for honoring warranties and standing behind their products. All in all, the company manufactures vinyl and aluminum windows that are well designed and use a sloped, two step sill that is popular with contractors. The downside to PGT is their limited distribution, they should be pretty easy to find throughout Florida, but their presence outside of the state is fairly minimal. I like PGT windows, their both well made and relatively affordable. I wish they were available in more states and locations.

PGT Winguard vs Pella Hurricane Shield Cost (Florida Impact Windows 2024)

Project Type: 1 French Door (w/ Energy Shield Glass), 3 Picture Windows
Location: Florida
Data Source: 2024 Price Quote Comparison

Window Series Total Quote Installed
PGT Winguard Series $41,000
Pella Hurricane Shield $28,000

"Hello, I'm replacing four patio sliding doors, but turning them into a french door and 3 fixed windows. These would be impact and I have received the following quotes. (This also includes all costs like haul away fees, etc.)"
Doug, Homeowner

Editor's Advice:

Doug, this is a significant price difference, and it's worth breaking down. The PGT Winguard series is a well known impact window with a long track record in Florida, but $41,000 for this scope does feel quite high. The Pella Hurricane Shield is less proven in the impact window space (I don't hear about it that often), but at $28,000, it represents much stronger value if the installer is reputable and the product meets local code requirements.

My Take: Assuming both bids include comparable installation quality and glass packages, the Pella Hurricane Shield looks like the better overall value. However, I would confirm product ratings (DP, SHGC, U-factor) and installer reputation before making a final decision.

Dane — Website Editor

Bottom Line: The Pella Hurricane Shield quote comes in nearly 30% lower than the PGT Winguard bid. While PGT has a longer track record in impact windows, the price difference makes Pella the better value in this scenario—assuming comparable installation quality and performance ratings.


PGT Winguard vs Simonton StormBreaker Plus Cost (Florida Impact Windows)

Project Type: 8 Impact Windows
Location: Florida
Data Source: 2023 Price Comparison

Window Series Total Quote Installed Average Installed Cost
Simonton StormBreaker Plus $12,827 $1,603
PGT Winguard $12,036 $1,504

"Dane, I have narrowed down my bids to two companies that I am willing to work with. These bids are for 8 impact windows. One is offering Simonton StormBreaker Plus for $12,827. The other is a PGT Winguard series although not sure which series for $12,036. Which is the better choice?"
Terry, Homeowner

Editor's Advice:

Terry, these two window price quotes (and window series) are fairly close in quality. However, the PGT Winguard has a slightly stronger reputation, while Simonton StormBreaker Plus is a solid mid-range option. Therefore the PGT Winguard is the clear winner in this match up. However, if this were my project, I would switch my focus to the online reviews and reputation of the installation companies. Honestly, this will make a lot more difference than the windows themselves at this point.

Dane — Website Editor

Bottom Line: These two quotes are very close in both price and product quality. With only about a $100 per window difference, the deciding factor should be the installation company’s reputation and experience rather than the window brand itself.


PGT Winguard Impact Window Price Quote – 15 Double Hung (Black/Black)

Project Type: 15 Double Hung Windows (Black Frames)
Location: South Carolina
Data Source: 2023 Price Comparison

Window Series Quantity Total Quote Price per Window
PGT Winguard (Black/Black) 15 $48,000 $3,200

"Good morning, thank you for providing great tips on your website! I am shopping for replacement, impact, vinyl windows in Mount Pleasant, SC. We do like black/black for the window. Received 1st quote of $48k for 15 standard sized, double-hung PGT Winguard black/black. We are waiting on a 2nd quote. I'm willing to pay a premium for black, but $48K seems like insanity. Is my thinking out of line? Would you kindly send me any lists or suggestions that you can offer?"
Daniel, Homeowner

Editor's Advice:

Daniel, I agree that $48,000 for 15 windows is quite excessive. Many manufacturers charge up to 30% more for a custom color like black on the interior and exterior frame (although black is quickly becoming a standard color for many manufactuers). My advice is to continue your search for quality impact windows. I am sure that there are options and brands out there that are less cost prohibitive. I will send you my impact windows list for your consideration.

Dane — Website Editor

Bottom Line: Paying $3,000 per impact window is too expensive. Custom frame colors do add significantly to the per window cost. Continue your search for less expensive impact windows.

Window Replacement Prices

Hello Dane, after 22 years of lousy builder grade aluminum windows in our otherwise terrific 4000 sq.ft. house, we are looking to change out 22 window openings. Because of 8 half rounds (half 36 inch, half 72 inch) and some other large openings, it’s a total of 35 separate windows for this job. Here in the Tampa Bay area PGT is very popular and highly advertised.

We have an EAS bid (pricey at $52K, but an impressive presentation) and our best offer is from a small 50 year old local company with an almost $0 advertising budget who stopped selling PGT and switched to CWS because of cost, at about $35K. Two PGT bids and a Lowes bid for Pella’s are in between the high and low bids. One PGT bid was $48K.

I really value your opinion after reading your Q & A website. What’s your gut reaction to my offers? Also, are all half rounds and other fixed panes roughly the same since there’s no mechanical hardware involved? I’ve never seen much said about fixed pane brands, and we have 12 including the half rounds. It would be nice to get a PGT impact windows price list.

Thanks so much. You guys are a big help for those of us guessing which way to go.

Davisd- Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

David, I would definitely put PGT and CWS on par with one another in terms of quality and craftsmanship. They are both good brands. The EAS bid seems excessive to me, especially since you have solid bids in the other two.

Going with a local company with a good to great reputation sounds like the call to me. They know the product, believe in it, and they will be around should there be issues down the road. You would be saving $13K with the CWS over the PGT, which is a whole lot of cash that you can use on other parts of the home, etc.

Bottom line, assuming the local company has good reviews, and assuming the CWS series is comparable to the PGT series, then my call would be the CWS — a quality option in Florida for sure. Unfortunately, I don't have the PGT impact window price list, but you are seeing the rough price list based on what you are getting in terms of a bid.

PGT Impact Windows Price List

I've received two different prices from my building contractor -- the Viwinco Oceanview or the PGT WinGuard. We have 3 sliding glass doors and 25 windows.

Viwinco Oceanview Model: $8815 (Doors), $18,790 (Windows)

PGT Windward Model: $9990 (Doors), $21,010 (Windows)

Andrea - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Andrea, I would say the Winguard is definitely the better window and door, but with the price difference between them, it makes it very tough to say what the better option is for you. I think this one comes down to how long you are staying in the home. Less than 10 years, I'd go with the less expensive Viwinco windows. Over 10 years, I'd opt for the PGTWinguard.

Winguard Series Costs

Hi, I live in florida and I am replacing 5 windows 36x62 WHITE LOW E AND HALF SCREEN for $2620.00 is that a good price or should I talk them down lower. The price started at $3275 but I had a competitor called weather tight mike who offered 2800.

Peter - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Peter, $524 each fully installed with a low-e glass at that measurement sounds like a very fair price to me. This is assuming that the installation quality is good and hopefully includes a 1 or 2 year labor warranty on the windows in case something installation related happens. But to answer your question, the price sounds fair. Of course, it never hurts to ask the company if this is their lowest price, you never know!

PGT EnergyVue Windows Prices

The EnergyVue non impact series will typical cost between $1,000 and $1,200 per window installed. The PGT EnergyVue generates the best performance numbers in the company's lineup (non impact). Nice looking and streamlined, the EnergyVue series is an excellent option without the huge impact windows cost price tag.

Custom Window Systems Comfort Shield $37,860 $2,524

"Dane, I've narrowed my quotes down to two - both of the companies that will do the installation have good reviews online. So that's good. We require new construction installation and that has bumped up the price alot apparently. Which is the better window here?"
Fred, Homeowner

Editor's Advice:

Fred, both of the bids are quite pricey. However, new construction windows do add on $250 to $350 per window. My advice here is to go with the PGT EnergyVue window, which is comparable in quality to the Comfort Shield. You will save money and not compromise on quality.

Dane — Website Editor

Bottom Line:Choosing the PGT EnergyVue windows for new construction in Tallahassee offers a cost-effective option without sacrificing quality, saving over $6,000 compared to Comfort Shield, while both options are reliable and highly rated.

Chris, Homeowner

Editor's Advice:

Chris, of the bids you have here, this is my opinion: if you go non-impact, then the best value is the Eastern Architectural Systems 143 series, which is definitely the better value over the EnergyVue. However, if you go with impact windows, then the best option is the Soft-Lite Barcelona series. Truthfully, I would probably go with the Barcelona regardless. This is a fantastic window that offers the best overall value of the bunch.

Dane — Website Editor

Bottom Line:

Impact windows: For non-impact windows, the EAS 143 Series offers the best value. For impact windows, the Soft-Lite Barcelona stands out as the top overall choice, delivering excellent quality at a competitive price.

PGT 5400 Windows Series Cost

Hello, we are replacing 12 windows and 2 sliding glass doors in our house in NE Florida. 10 of the windows are in block/stucco and 2 are in a wood frame.

We have a quote using CWS Aria horizontal sliders, MI 3540 single hungs, and MI 1615 sliding doors for $9571.50. The second quote is for PGT HR5410 sliders and SH5400 single hungs (not sure which sliding glass doors this quote includes) for $10,921.00.

Any advice on using CWS/MI vs. PGT products would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Jessica - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Jessica, I like the second bid a lot more -- PGT makes a good window and sliding door, as does CWS I might add. MI Windows on the other hand has a reputation as a low quality manufacturer and not a brand I would put in my own home.

I would much prefer you spend the extra $1400 and go with the PGT bid. I think it offers better long term value over the first bid.

That doesn't mean that you can't try and shave off some of the cost of the PGT bid though. Use that first bid as leverage to see how low that PGT dealer/company is willing to go for your business.

PGT Energy Vue Windows Cost

I have two quotes -- the Wincore 7700 Windows and the 5400 Energy Vue. Same price for 7 windows here in Ocala Florida. The cost is $2300. Which is the best option?

Mark - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Mark, both are good vinyl windows. $325 is a great price, really competitive.

Dane - Website Editor - from 2017

Click to read the full question and answer from our site editor -- PGT 5400.


[Mark's Answer]

Thank you for responding so quickly to my question. Both to my untrained eye seemed good & somewhat equal. I think PGT has better warranty that will be beneficial 50 yrs from now long after I'm dead and gone. I figure if they will put anything prorated that strong at 50 yrs & beyond they are more willing than Wincore to stand behind their product .

I think the only thing I noticed was the Wincore 7700 came with low E & argon gas, & the PGT only came with Low E. In Florida I think I can live without the low E due to are milder winters. Again thank you for quick response as your pro input is very influential to me in product purchased & I think I have chosen the better installer. These reviews and your PGT Impact Windows Price List stuff is great, kudos.

PGT 5400 Windows

The PGT 5400 window is a relatively new series or model and is part of their EnergyVue line. The 5400 series is a single or double hung with a clean profile and modern looking mainframe. Many contractors and installers consider single hungs low quality, but PGT seems to be flipping this traditional notion on its head. The 5400 is an especially good option for larger sized windows as it still maintains good energy efficiency and strength at these larger measurements.

Standard features include constant force balancing (option upgrade to a spiral blancing system), embedded tilt latch, tilt sash for easier cleaning, an autolock, a comfort lift handle, a beveled meeting rail and integrated corner keys. Best of all, the 5400 model is quite nice looking and should be an affordable option for many homeowners.


PGT 5400 vs Simonton Reflections 5300

I need 13 Windows. 7 are 36 x 62 ....6 are 36 x 70 trying to decide between the 5400 series and the Simonton Reflections 5300. Any help you can offer is welcomed, since the cost is upward of $10,000. Which brand would you suggest?

Lenny - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Lenny, both the PGT 5400 and the Simonton Reflections windows are good. I think I like the look of the PGT a bit better, but I think the numbers are going to be about the same -- not bad at all, but not great. What concerns me is the price for what are generally considered solid mid range vinyl windows. Obviously, I don't know anything about your installation needs so I can't speak to that, but you are paying $750 per window (assuming 13 windows at $10000). I'm not saying you are paying too much necessarily, but I think you need a couple more bids before you decide to go with either one of these -- and to see if these prices are too high.

I would try and find a CWS or Custom Window Systems rep in your area to give you a bid on whatever model they say is comparable to the 5400 PGT, perhaps the CWS 8000 model.

I would also check and see if perhaps there is a Zen windows in your area that could give you a bid on their Nirvana or Lotus model -- these are actually Soft-Lite Classic and Pro series windows. Try and see if any of these window brands are available as well -- Okna, Sunrise, Polaris and Soft-Lite.

For $750 out the door, you should be able to get a top tier vinyl window, instead of a mid range vinyl. But again, every project is different so the additional bids should tune you into the fair market price.

5500 Series Vinyl Windows Cost

Hi Dane. I live in 2nd floor, top floor condo in Sebastian Fl. Pricing for impact vinyl PGT 5500 for 1 picture 34×54 and 2 single hung 34×63 1 single hung 48×63 is $8200 installed plus fees. Does that sound high? Just trying to reduce outside busy intersection and train noise. Thank you if you can help? With 2 more trapezoid kinda big picture windows it is $12500 which is way too much for me. Thank you!

Karen - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Karen, that price quote sounds incredibly high to me. $1000 to $1500 for an impact window is about right. If you have to do some additional work, then I can see it hitting in that $2K mark, but nothing above that.

I'll give you the same advise I'm giving lots of consumers lately -- keep looking until you find a fair price. This is the only way you can be sure that the price quote you are getting is the fair market price that you deserve.

My top picks for storm windows and doors (which go from best to good) include the Soft-Lite Barcelona Impact Series, Soft-Lite Armor Impact Series, Sunrise Coastal Series, PGT WinGuard Series, Stanek UltraExtreme Series, CWS Windpact Series, Wincore 8000 series, the Simonton Stormbreaker Series, and the Viwinco OceanView Series.

PGT 5500 Window Bid

We need to replace 11 windows, three are 36” by 72” single hungs made by PGT. Their 5500 series. The rest are Custom Window Systems Lani windows -- one 50” by 60” slider, two 36” by 60” sliders, three 36” by 60” picture, and two 50” by 60” picture windows.

The total quote for everything was $12,000.

Thomas - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

Thomas, I've never heard of the Lani window from CWS. Is that an impact window? If so, $12K for 11 impact windows is not bad. Not great either, I'd keep collecting bids to see if that price is inflated or is industry standard for the project specifics.

WinGuard 5560 Windows

We have an estimate of $8636 for replacing our old single panes with 9 WinGuard 5560 series from PGT. 2 are 35”x 49, 2 are 52”x54”, 1 is 36”x52”, 1 is 52”x49”, 2 are 18”x49”, and the garage is 36”x36”. Is this a fair price? Greatly appreciate your response.

PT - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

PT, at first glance, that bid seems high to me. $960 fully installed is pretty steep. Of course, the real question is how much work is involved in the installation process. This might be where lots of that cost is going.

The only way to find out how fair or unfair the quote is to get a couple more. Look to see if any local companies carry the following brands: Custom Window Systems, Simonton (Impressions or Reflection series), Stanek, and Sunrise.

Feel free to send the bids my way once you get them and I'm happy to weigh in on what options might serve you best.

Dane - Website Editor- from 2018

[PT's Reply]

Hi Dane, thank you for your prompt response. This is a stucco over frame house with single pane aluminum frame windows to remove. One story. The bid does include grids in 4 of the windows.

PT - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

PT, stucco can be a costly affair since they often have to rip out 6 to 8 inches around the window, unless they are doing a retrofit install. The stucco rematch and color matching can be tricky and time consuming. This is another reason why it's important to get multiple bids so you can get some different opinions on the best approach to the install. Good luck on the project!

PGT Windows vs Pella

Hi Dane, we have three quotes on 4 windows and 4 8' patio sliding doors. We are close to the ocean so we need something that can hold up to the harsh conditions. None of the prices include installation. We have our own contractor who has been doing this for 20 years and he charges $75 an hour.

Viwinco Ocean View Window: $12,286
PGT 5570 Window: $14,336
Pella 350 Series: $19,000

Nancy - Homeowner - from 2018

Nancy, the Viwinco is not a bad impact window, but I tend to think of it as ideal for more budget-conscious projects. The Pella bid is just too high, especially in relationship to the PGT. The PGT 5570 is the clear winner, but I definitely think you can negotiate this price and see if they will come down on the quote.

PGT vs Custom Window Systems

Hi Dane,I'm new to the Venice, FL area after moving from NJ. Entire home needs new windows. Quote was for 15 sliders with prairie grid. PGT 5500 new winguard vinyl series which are triple pane, laminated, and insulated with lowE coating. These include 1 larger FR, 6 medium sized ones say 48 x 60”, 2 small Bath, 1 garage, 1 small kitchen into lane and 4 BR windows. Quote was for $14000 and this was for full installation and any additional material needed to complete the job. Thank you.

Joe, the PGT Winguard vinyl window is quite a good window, however it’s tough to say whether the quote is fair or not. I think you need a couple more quotes to compare it to. I would see if a local company sells CWS, Custom Window Systems, in your area and tell them you want a quote on their most similar window to the triple paned PGT 5500 series. Also, see if you can find someone local who sells the Simonton Stormbreaker Plus Series.

Those two windows are pretty close in terms of quality and construction to the PGT5500. Get the two bids and see how they compare; sometimes you will get wildly different bids from local companies depending on how busy or not busy their work schedule.

[Joe's Response]

TY so much for getting back to me. We had another local company gives us a price for CW windows equal to PGT and quote came in about the same price as the 14K. We have 2 more companies seeing us this week that will give us quotes. Will ask about the Simonton comp’s windows. We’ll also ask the company (GJC Port Charlotte) that gave us the PGT 14K quote if CW or Simonton is an option that will save us money.

Thanks again Dane and greatly appreciate getting your feedback!


5500 Series Costs

We are looking to replace 8 single pane Windows with hurricane impact Windows. I have gotten two quotes. Which window is best and why?

Central Window in Vero Beach:
CWS 8100 series white vinyl windows with insulated impact glass, Low-e 366 coatings, argon gas, 5/8" flange frames, 5/8" flat white colonial grids between the glass.

Vero Glass & Mirror:
PGT 5500 series white vinyl insulated impact Windows , clear Low-exl 70 insulated impact glass w/ colonial grids.

The price difference is approximately $593. Thank you so very much!

[Site Editor's Answer]

Dana, these two impact windows are pretty close in quality, as are CWS and PGT in terms of quality and construction. In general, PGT is a bit more well known than Custom Window Systems, but both CWS and PGT are my top picks for impact windows on the south east coast. If it were me, I would turn to the quality of the installers as the deciding factor. If those are equal, I would probably go with the PGT only because they are a bit bigger operation.

PGT SH 5500 Impact Window Pricing

Hi Dane, I live in Tampa, Fl and am looking to replace my windows. Can you advise if what is a fair price to pay for a PGT SH 5500 impact window size 36W X 71L (no grid) and 73W X 51L (grid window) with a half moon grid? Thanks in advance. Look forward to hearing from you.

HP - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

HP, it's tough to quote prices because I have no idea about the installation portion of the project -- what's required etc. I'll throw out a number ($600 to $750 per window, fully installed), but honestly get a bid from PGT and see what the quote is. Also get one from CWS and perhaps on the Simonton Stormbreaker Plus and compare all three impact window quotes.

PGT ClassicVue Windows Prices

The PGT ClassicVue is the company's non impact aluminum window that should cost $850 to $1050 installed per window (medium sized window). Like most aluminum windows, this unit will be narrow and strong, but won't offer the same energy efficiency numbers as a premium vinyl window. The PGT ClassicVue Window can be ordered as a single hung, horizontal slider, fixed frame, casement, awning, and as a patio sliding door. All in all, the ClassicVue is a great option for aesthetic minded consumers who want strong and are willing to sacrifice some on energy efficiency.

PGT ClassicVue vs Simonton vs Pella Defender (Single Window)

Quick Take: Comparable pricing across brands; PGT ClassicVue and Simonton 6500 windows are the preferred options for a single replacement window project.

Project Type: 1 Horizontal Sliding Window
Location: Saint Petersburg, FL
Data Source: 2026 Single Window Comparison

Window Series Project Quote Avg. Cost Per Window
PGT ClassicVue $1500 - $2000 $1500 - $2000
Simonton 6500 / Pella Defender $1500 - $2000 $1500 - $2000

"Dane, I need to replace my bedroom window that is 52 wide and 62 long. The window is difficult for me to open and close do to its size, so I would like to replace it with a horizontal sliding window. I have prices from Lowe’s and Home Depot due to most manufacturers don’t want to come out for a single window.

I am looking at the ClassicVue series, Simonton 6500 and the Pella Defender. I live near Saint Petersburg, FL.

All these windows are approximately $1500 for non-impact for impact rated windows. Do you like any of these windows? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Shannon - Homeowner - from 2026

Editor's Advice:

Shannon, I would rank the bids as you listed them: PGT ClassicVue, Simonton 6500 and Pella Defender. My emphasis would be on the first two options. A single window is tricky. Custom Window Systems is another option to take a look at...not sure if they offer replacement for one window or not.

Steve - Homeowner - from 2023

Editor's Advice:

Steve, those are pricey bids. I think you need two more bids to at least see if that price is warranted. Paying nearly $2,000 per window in 2023 is too much money in my opinion, unless there is significant additional work involved.

PGT Window Prices

Hi, I live in florida and I am replacing 5 windows PGT 36" x 62" WHITE LOW E AND HALF SCREEN for $2620 is that a good price or should I talk them down lower. The price started at $3275 but I had a competitor called weather tight mike who offered 2800.

Peter - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Peter, $524 each fully installed with a low-e glass at that measurement sounds like a very fair price to me. This is assuming that the installation quality is good and hopefully includes a 1 or 2 year labor warranty on the windows in case something installation related happens. But to answer your question, the price sounds fair. Of course, it never hurts to ask the company if this is their lowest price, you never know!

PGT Impact Windows Price List :: 2300 Series

The 2300 series is well made and looks good, and is one of PGTs best known models. It comes as a double hung, slider, or picture window and has a multi-chambered frame. The heavy vinyl and reinforced aluminum sash make it a sturdy, durable window. It doesn't have an interior wood finish but does include double strength glass. The double hung features a top sash that tilts in for easy cleaning. With a good glass package, an air infiltration around 0.04, and the DP50 rating, the PGT 2300 series is a darn good window. Scroll down to read all of our PGT impact windows price list on the 2300 series window.

(assumes medium sized window and normal installation)


PGT Scout Windows Prices

Similar to the WinGuard, the 2700 and 2800 series is a heavy duty impact window. It is similar to the Viwinco Oceanview as far as ratings, but many contractors think it looks much better. It has limited distribution, so it can be hard to find away from the coast. The 2770, a sliding glass door, goes well with these and has a good reputation as well.

Lance, at first glance it seems pricey, especially the sliding glass doors. I'd like to see you get a quote from CWS and see how their quote compares.

PGT Sliding Sliding Patio Doors Cost

Hello Dane, thank you for your reply. I am leaning towards the contractor with a more realistic price point ($25k) but also seeing if he can quote me with the PGT offering since those seem to stand above the rest in terms of quality.

Would it be fair to estimate a sliding door removal and replacement would be in the $4k-$6k ballpark for PGT? I'm trying to base this on what I saw the installation cost range would be for impacts and adding a generous buffer.

Adrian - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Adrian, I would say that's a good ballpark price for an impact sliding door. But my comment about arbitrary pricing still holds! Make sure you collect your 4 to 5 bids to get a better range of prices and products.

PGT 400 Windows Prices

The PGT 400 series was designed and marketed as an impact window and comes standard with an aluminum reinforced sash. The standard glass package wasn't rated for hurricanes but with upgrades it can serve as a hurricane window. It comes in various configurations, including optional nailing flange, extruded fin, simple buck frame, or J-channel. It is most often used in new construction applications.

With the right glass package, it can qualify for a tax credit. The 400 series is one of my picks for best affordable impact window on the market. Unfortunately, PGT is hard to find outside of Florida. This window might be comparable to the top of the line Polaris UltraWeld window.
