Where each brand stands
Mr-Glass vs PGT — answered
Is Mr-Glass as well-known as PGT?
PGT has more brand recognition because they sell nationally through big-box and dealer channels. Mr-Glass focuses on Florida and the Caribbean, where we are a leading manufacturer with thousands of installed projects and the same Miami-Dade NOA certifications.
Why is Mr-Glass cheaper than PGT?
PGT's price reflects multi-tier distribution (factory → distributor → dealer → installer). Mr-Glass sells direct from our Medley, FL factory — eliminating two layers of margin.
How does the warranty compare?
Both offer strong warranty programs. The difference is service speed: Mr-Glass handles every warranty claim directly, while PGT routes through the dealer who sold the window — which can mean weeks of back-and-forth.
Can Mr-Glass match PGT's product range?
Yes — our catalog covers single-hungs, sliders, fixed, French doors, sliding glass doors, storefronts and curtain walls, with the addition of our Mr-Shades roller-shade line for an integrated window-and-shade package PGT does not offer.
Which is better for hurricane protection?
Both brands meet the strictest Miami-Dade HVHZ codes. Mr-Glass tests several flagship lines at higher design-pressure thresholds, giving an extra margin of safety in Category 4 and 5 wind events.
