Cws impact windows reviews.

I think pgt has a bit better brand recognition but i wouldn t say their windows are any better. Cws does make a very good hurricane window and they are not too crazy in terms of overall window cost or they shouldn t be. Energy efficient style effective. Hi in terms of impact windows pgt and cws both offer a nice selection and array.

The cws 8100 is a single hung vinyl impact window which seems to offer good quality and value. The sash recesses back into the frame allowing for a much higher design pressure instead of relying on small tilt latches to keep your sash intact when impacted. I don t like this feature but cws does tend to make a quality window despite the design flaw. We have replaced windows and 2 sliders with cws and our own installer the doors are very heavy that s a good thing and i love the double locking mechanism that prevents the window from being.

I purchased 20 hurricane impact windows from cws and i regret it immensely. The purchase was made in october 2017 through lowe s. It does however use a pocket sill which funnels water through the frame and out weep holes. 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.

Laminated glass is comprised of 2 panes of glass bonded together with a strong clear interlayer. The most common way to achieve impact resistance in windows and doors is to select a product that uses laminated glass. Our windows are scientifically researched engineered and tested to meet and exceed increasingly stringent coastal regulations. The windows arrived in early march 2018 for installation and upon inspecting them i called lowe s to tell them that i did not want the windows because they were scratched and dented.

The windpact plus single hung has been designed specifically for the costal impact resistant market not to tilt in resulting in the strongest and safest vinyl impact resistant single hung on the market. Another impressive statistic about cws is that they were the first florida window manufacturer to receive the energy star rating based on the most strict requirements for energy efficiency. I would put them both in the quite good category and i think they both offer a nice long term value for your money. Cws believes strongly in their windpact window products and backs it up in writing for a worry free consumer experience.

High impact windows are what you want if you want your house to have a better chance of surviving a hurricane.
