Fast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Lantana
Custom and geometric windows in Lantana typically run $800 to $1,500 per standard impact-rated opening, while large arches, curves, or oversized spans climb to $2,500 and up depending on the opening size and design pressure.

We’re the local crew that opens the wall first, tells you what’s behind it, and prices the job honestly before we touch the new glass.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this business in 2011, and that’s not a marketing line. It’s a promise that when something goes sideways on a Lantana install, the owner answers for it. Our crews have worked Lantana’s CBS-block neighborhoods long enough to know what’s waiting behind a 1962 wall on East Ocean Avenue: undersized jambs, corroded frames, waterproofing that gave up years ago. We don’t pretend the surprise doesn’t exist. We plan for it, price it, and tell you before the saw comes out.
Reviews from Lantana homeowners consistently mention the same things: live answers at odd hours, background-checked techs in uniform, and a written quote that matched the final invoice. That’s not accidental. We schedule Lantana jobs with local traffic in mind and we stock common marine-grade parts for the town’s older housing stock so we’re not waiting on a truck from a warehouse two counties away. No trip charge inside the county, and if you’ve got a written estimate from another company, bring it in for a free second opinion.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Lantana
Custom Impact Windows
Lantana sits smack in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris zone, which means impact glazing isn’t an upgrade here. It’s the law. Our impact windows in Lantana carry Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA documentation on every configuration we order, and we match design pressures to the actual opening rather than slapping a generic +/-100 rating on whatever fits. For a 1950s CBS block home on Hypoluxo Road, that often means a custom size, because those original openings were never built to modern code dimensions.

Geometric & Shaped Windows
From hexagons on Ocean Breeze bungalows to trapezoids on newer Lantana Point builds, geometric windows make or break a facade. What we’ve learned from Lantana’s salt-heavy air is that the frame material matters as much as the glass. Non-marine-grade aluminum from inland suppliers corrodes at the jamb within a few seasons here. We order marine-grade finishes as standard for this town, and we tell you exactly which manufacturer and product line goes into the quote. For the full picture on our shaped-window work, see our Custom & Geometric Windows service page.

Arched & Curved Windows
Arched windows on Lantana’s mid-century homes look beautiful right up until the inspector asks for the large-missile impact paperwork. Curved and arched glass still has to meet the same impact standards as rectangular units in this wind zone, and that requires a laminated interlayer rated for the opening’s shape and size. We handle that engineering up front, not as an afterthought, and we’ve seen too many unpermitted handyman installs fail final inspection because the paperwork didn’t match the glass. If you want it done once, do it with a permit and a real product approval number behind it.

Oversized Openings
Lantana has a surprising number of homes with original sliding glass wall sections and wide picture-window spans from the 60s and 70s, many of them single-pane aluminum with zero storm protection. Replacing an oversized opening with impact-rated glazing means heavier glass, reinforced framing, and sometimes a structural header upgrade. That’s a five-figure job when done right, and we write every allowance and every possible surprise into the contract before demo day, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We install and service shingle, tile & metal roofing - Lantana alongside custom and geometric windows from PGT, CGI, and CWS, three manufacturers whose products we’ve trusted on South Florida’s coast for over a decade. For Lantana’s brackish microclimate, we lean toward PGT’s marine-level finishes and CGI’s impact configurations when the opening is large or unusually shaped, because both hold up to years of lagoon and Atlantic salt air better than most. Since we’re an authorized installer for all three lines, warranty paperwork moves through us, not through a call center in another state.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Jalousie windows that can’t be retrofitted. The louvered glass jalousie style is everywhere in Lantana’s 1950s through 70s stock, and it cannot meet current Florida Building Code impact standards. Any permit for a remodel forces full replacement, which is why we plan for that line item from the first site visit.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames. Lantana gets hit from two directions: the Lake Worth Lagoon to the west and the Atlantic less than a mile east. That brackish humidity eats standard aluminum frames, hardware, and weatherstripping within a few years. Marine-grade finishes aren’t optional here.
- Rotted or undersized jamb framing behind old windows. When we open a 1960s CBS wall, the framing around the original window opening is often undersized for today’s heavier impact units, and the waterproofing membrane is frequently rotted through. That’s a code issue, not a cosmetic one.
- Unpermitted replacements missing design pressure engineering. We’ve followed too many handyman installs in Lantana where a geometric or arched window went in without any structural engineering for wind load. The first big storm finds the weak point, and the failed wind mitigation inspection finds the rest.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in Lantana, FL
A standard custom impact window in Lantana runs $800 to $1,500 per unit installed, with single-hung impact units falling in the $900 to $1,800 range. Large custom or oversized openings with geometric shapes go $2,500 to $5,000 each, depending on frame material, glass package, and design pressure. Whole-home packages across Lantana’s typical three-bedroom CBS homes land between $8,000 and $25,000, but a wall of corroded jalousies on a 1962 build can push that higher once framing repairs and waterproofing are factored in. We always give you a written line-item quote after a free in-home measure, so there are no allowances that become surprises. Call (561) 782-7525 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in Lantana
Because jalousies cannot meet Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris impact requirements, full stop. The louvered design has no structural glass rating and no way to retrofit it into compliance. So the moment a permit is pulled for a remodel that touches those windows, the building department requires impact-rated replacements, and the cost lands as a line item whether or not the homeowner planned for it. We build that reality into every Lantana quote from day one. Call (561) 782-7525 for an exact number on your house.
The framing is the big variable. In Lantana’s 1950s through 70s CBS homes, opening a wall around a jalousie or single-pane aluminum window usually reveals undersized jamb framing and rotted waterproofing, especially in neighborhoods close to the lagoon like Ocean Breeze. Those repairs are code-required before any new impact glass goes in, and they can add $500 to $2,000 per opening depending on what’s behind the stucco. We write a framing allowance into every contract so the change order is expected, not a shock.
Yes. Lantana is fully inside the wind-borne debris zone, so every exterior glazing opening, regardless of shape, must meet the same large-missile impact standard and carry the correct Florida Product Approval documentation. Arched and curved units need a laminated glass interlayer engineered for the specific radius and size, and the paperwork has to match the product exactly or the permit fails. We handle that engineering before we order the glass.
Most Lantana homeowners see a 15% to 25% drop in cooling load after replacing single-pane jalousies with Low-E impact units, because those old louvered windows leak conditioned air around every glass slat. On a 1960s CBS home near the lagoon, that often means $40 to $80 a month off summer FPL bills, especially with east and west facing openings taking direct sun. Your exact number depends on orientation and glass package. We can give you a realistic estimate after the in-home measure.
Replacing jalousie or single-pane windows with impact-rated units always qualifies as a wind-mitigation improvement, and most Florida carriers discount the windstorm portion of the premium after a wind mitigation inspection confirms the upgrade. The inspection runs $75 to $150, and Lantana homeowners typically see around 25% off the wind premium on average. Final credit is set by your carrier, not by us, but we’ll provide all the product approval paperwork your inspector needs. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Lantana
Here’s the honest range we quote in Lantana: impact windows generally $800 to $1,500 per window installed, impact single-hung $900 to $1,800, large or custom openings $2,500 to $5,000 each, and whole-home packages $8,000 to $25,000 plus framing and waterproofing repairs where the old openings demand it. What moves the price in Lantana specifically is the opening count, whether the home sits in the wind-borne debris zone (it does, all of it, legally), floor height and exposure, and the frame material. Marine-grade aluminum holds up best against the twin salt fronts, but it costs more than interior-market vinyl. We quote both and tell you honestly which one this climate needs. Every quote includes a free in-home measure and a written line-item breakdown. No allowances for finding a four-digit problem after the wall comes open; the allowance is already in the contract.
Florida Pays You Back
Lantana homeowners replacing jalousies or single-pane garbage with impact-rated geometric windows can stack more incentives than most people realize. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, subject to state funding cycles. Florida also waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which on a $15,000 package is real money. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost up to $600 a year on qualifying Low-E units. And most Lantana homeowners see roughly 25% shaved off the windstorm portion of their insurance premium after a wind mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150. We don’t guarantee any of these numbers because your carrier and the state set the final terms, but we’ll hand you the paperwork for every credit at the end of the job.
What Happens When We Open a Lantana Wall
Here’s what actually changes a quote in Lantana, and it’s the reason our numbers sometimes look different from a big-box installer’s. In the Ocean Breeze neighborhood off East Ocean Avenue, our crew replaced a wall of corroded jalousies in a 1962 CBS home with PGT custom impact windows. Once the stucco came off, the original jamb framing was undersized for any modern impact unit, and the waterproofing membrane had rotted through from decades of brackish lagoon air. We wrote the full framing repair and a Miami-Dade NOA upgrade into a change order before touching the new sash. The final install passed code on the first inspection and cut the homeowner’s cooling load by 22%.
That’s the job in Lantana. Not every home has that much rot, but enough of them do that we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before we order glass. Big-box installers sell a window. We sell a wall that actually holds the window through the next storm. Impact windows versus hurricane shutters comes up a lot, and the honest answer is that permanent impact glazing beats panels every time in Lantana, whether you need a roof replacement & installation - Lantana or just better protection. You’re not climbing a ladder at midnight before a storm, you’re not storing metal panels in a carport, and the protection is always on the house, not stacked in the garage.
