PGT® Custom Windows and Doors Bolsters Market Leadership with New Product Integration
PGT® Custom Windows and Doors, a flagship brand within the MITER Brands™ portfolio and a recognized leader in high-performance fenestration, has officially announced a strategic expansion of its product lineup. By integrating four highly successful product lines—the Sparta™ and Scout™ series, along with the FD 450 Estate and FD 160 French doors—PGT is reinforcing its position as America’s authority on residential protection and style.
This expansion is more than a simple catalog update; it represents a calculated move to provide homeowners, dealers, and builders with a “one-stop shop” for both impact-resistant and non-impact solutions. By bringing these established products under the PGT banner, the company ensures that every unit carries the brand’s hallmark of engineering excellence and rigorous quality control.
Empowering Homeowners Through Innovation
The integration of these lines is a direct response to the evolving needs of the modern construction and renovation markets. Today’s homeowners are looking for a rare trifecta: aesthetic beauty, uncompromising safety, and long-term value.
“These additions align with PGT’s commitment to offering innovative products that empower homeowners with safety, beauty, and enduring performance,” said Steven Starkey, Vice President of Sales, MITER Brands-South. “Our customers will now enjoy an even larger variety of high-performance products with desirable styles, colors, and hardware options, along with a true front entry door in the 450 Estate.”
A Closer Look at the New Additions
The expanded portfolio addresses distinct market segments, ranging from value-conscious impact protection to high-end architectural elegance.
1. The Sparta™ Line: Value-Driven Impact Protection
For many homeowners, the leap to impact-resistant windows can feel like a significant financial hurdle. The Sparta™ line is designed to bridge that gap. It offers PGT’s signature “Always On” protection—meaning the home is defended against severe weather, intruders, and ambient noise 24/7 without the need for shutters or fabric screens.
As a value-custom aluminum impact-resistant offering, Sparta provides a dependable shield at an accessible price point. It is the ideal solution for those who refuse to compromise on safety but are mindful of project budgets.
2. The Scout™ Line: Reliable Non-Impact Versatility
Recognizing that not every project requires impact-rated glass, PGT has introduced the Scout™ line to its aluminum window offerings. Built for builders who demand reliability and ease of installation, Scout provides a non-impact option that maintains the high aesthetic standards PGT is known for. Its versatile design makes it suitable for a wide variety of residential applications, from modern suburban developments to classic renovations.
3. The FD 450 Estate French Door: The Ultimate Entry Statement
Perhaps the most anticipated addition is the FD 450 Estate French Door. While many French doors are relegated to the patio, the FD 450 is a “true front entry door.” It combines the heavy-duty security of an impact-rated portal with the elegant craftsmanship of a high-end estate feature.
- Versatility: Can be used as a grand front entrance or a sophisticated transition to outdoor living spaces.
- Performance: Available with energy-efficient glazing and impact-resistant glass to meet the most stringent coastal building codes.
- Customization: Offers a wide range of hardware and finish options to match the specific architectural DNA of a home.
4. The FD 160 French Door: Refined Utility
Rounding out the door expansion is the FD 160 Impact-Resistant French Door. This line is engineered for high-performance hurricane protection in areas that require both durability and style, such as patios, garages, and side entrances. The FD 160 is designed to meet strict building codes while providing a slim, refined profile that maximizes natural light without sacrificing security.
The MITER Brands Advantage
As part of the MITER Brands family, PGT® Custom Windows and Doors benefits from a massive distribution network and a shared philosophy of “People First.” The inclusion of these products under the PGT name simplifies the procurement process for dealers and builders, who can now offer a more comprehensive suite of products under a single, trusted brand warranty.
For the homeowner, this means better curb appeal, improved energy efficiency, and a significant reduction in insurance premiums—benefits that are often associated with PGT’s high-performance aluminum and vinyl products.
