About PGT Innovations
PGT Innovations is the leading manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors for the hurricane-exposed markets of Florida and the broader Gulf and Atlantic coastal United States. Headquartered in Venice, Florida, PGT built its core business on products engineered to meet the stringent Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code impact requirements that govern fenestration in high-velocity hurricane zones.
The PGT product portfolio spans aluminum and vinyl impact windows, impact sliding glass doors, impact entry doors, and non-impact products for interior Florida markets. The WinGuard brand — PGT's flagship impact line — is widely specified by Florida builders, contractors, and homeowners as a combined impact-protection and insurance-premium-reduction product. PGT has grown through acquisition to include brands such as Western Window Systems, CGI Windows and Doors, and others under the MITER Brands umbrella.
As part of MITER Brands following the 2024 acquisition by that group, PGT Innovations operates within a larger fenestration portfolio while retaining its identity as the dominant impact-window brand in the Florida new construction and replacement market. Specifiers working in hurricane-zone markets should evaluate PGT's impact ratings, Miami-Dade product approval numbers, and local dealer availability as primary selection criteria.
