In every company or industry there is always competition right? So we get this question ask by us all the time ,who really makes the best impact window ? Custom Windows or PGT?
We sell them both but for different reasons.
Lets start out with a little history lesson first. PGT was the first to bring impact windows to the market in Florida after hurricane Andrew with the Wind-Guard all aluminum framed windows and sliding doors.
Yes, they owned the market for a long time and did very well and made a great product. By the way here is there web address www.pgtindustries.com so make sure you drop by and checkout there new line of vinyl impact windows.
Custom Made For The Florida Trade.
Next, along comes Custom Windows – they are the first company in Florida to bring out vinyl impact windows and sliding glass doors that meet the Energy Star rating. There slogan “Custom Made for the Florida Trade ” took off in Florida in the retail market with local contractors and their window took the market by storm. Check their web site at www.cws.cc .
And The Best Window Is?
Well, they both are great window companies and we sell them both, but the fact is every home and client and application is different. Some clients are all about energy savings so we lean more towards Custom Windows. They use Cardinal Glass with some special glazing and they also handle the “Neat” glass technology that keeps your windows cleaner and spot free.
So, if your home sets along the coast or a body of water our choice of PGT impact windows may be the best application? They have a long history with there Win-guard line of products. After Hurricane Charlie hit our area PGT impact windows prove to work and save homes and lives, I am sure of it.
Let Mark, George, Dan, Paul and Sean
From Absolute Windows guide you through the best possible choice for your home or business application for impact windows and doors.

Very nice, however, in our opinion and the opinion of many, when you are located near water or on water, the decision to choose a vinyl impact window that resist the deteriation of salt makes more sense than aluminum. VINYL IS FINAL! What are you thinking Glen?
Thank you Ron for your comment. Yes I do agree with your statement about the vinyl impact on the coastline. But I was looking at PGT and how many they have installed on the coastline.
Yes, PGT had a head start on the aluminum impact window business after hurricane Andrew. CWS has the head start on the vinyl impact window market.
Both are great companies and both have there place in the impact window marketplace. Remember every installation is different mainly because of where your home is located.
Thanks,

PS. I like the “Vinyl Is Final” solgan and “Florida Made For The Florida Trade”
