AfterTrusted Custom & Geometric Windows for Fountainebleau Homeowners
Custom and geometric windows in Fountainebleau typically cost between $1,400 and $6,800 per window installed, depending on size, glass package, frame material, and whether the unit is impact-rated. Most custom orders take four to eight weeks from template to installation. If you’re reading this, you’re likely dealing with an opening that a stock window won’t fit, or a design idea that needs someone who actually builds solutions rather than selling what’s on the truck.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been serving Fountainebleau and surrounding Miami-Dade neighborhoods since 2011. This is Ed Winslow’s company, and his name is on every job we take. We cut our teeth in this market, where Mediterranean and mid-century architecture produce window openings that stock catalogs simply don’t cover. Call (727) 620-6983 and a real person answers, any hour of any day. We’ll talk through your opening, your idea, and what it’s going to take to get it done right.
What Our Custom & Geometric Windows Service Includes
Custom and geometric windows in Fountainebleau are not one product; they’re a category of made-to-order glazing tailored to your specific opening and the look you want. Here’s exactly what we handle, and how we approach each one.
Custom Impact Windows
When building codes demand hurricane protection but the window isn’t a standard size, custom impact windows are the answer. In Fountainebleau, where Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code applies, every window opening faces a different exposure condition, and a stock impact unit won’t always match the structural requirements of an older masonry wall or a non-rectangular rough opening. Winslow Windows & Doors designs and orders frames built to your millimeter measurements, with glass packages from manufacturers like PGT and CGI that carry the proper Miami-Dade NOA for the opening. We then install them yourself, with anchor spacing and sealant details verified for the product’s specific certification.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Geometric & shaped windows include trapezoids, triangles, pentagons, parallelograms, and radius-corner rectangles, the shapes builders use to create architectural interest without radically altering the roofline. Fountainebleau has a high concentration of 1970s and 1980s homes where clerestory and transom windows were built as pure geometry, and when those units fail, a square replacement would destroy the daylight pattern. We template each unit with a digital profile so the factory gets the exact angles, and we handle the engineering required to ensure the new frame carries the glass load without deflecting the seal. The result matches the original shape, but with modern thermal performance and the option for impact glass.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched & curved windows are typically half-round or elliptical units that sit above doors, picture windows, or in gable ends. Curved windows, including full-radius and eyebrow units, go further by bending the frame and glass along an arc. These shapes are more than decorative; they impose significant structural and thermal stresses on the wall system, which is why we measure the opening in three planes and often reinforce the rough frame before the unit arrives. We work with manufacturers that can produce true curved units in either vinyl or aluminum, and we coordinate delivery with installation so a finished window doesn’t sit in a Florida garage picking up moisture damage.
Oversized Openings
An oversized opening means a window or door that exceeds current standard production specs, which in today’s market often starts around 40 square feet of total glazing. These openings, common in the lakefront properties and renovated ranches around Fountainebleau’s Fontainebleau Park and Blue Lake areas, introduce lateral load paths that smaller windows don’t. Winslow Windows & Doors calculates the glass deflection and frame performance against Miami-Dade’s wind loads, then orders an oversized unit with the right intermediate reinforcement. The specific product could come from ViewLux or ECO Window Systems depending on the design pressure number, and our installers set it with a crane or lift crew when the unit weight demands it.

Brands We Service for Custom & Geometric Windows
We install and service custom and geometric windows from a select group of manufacturers we trust. These aren’t white-label products; we carry direct authorization and factory training for each one of the brands we name.
ECO Window Systems builds aluminum frames to tight tolerances, and their custom shape department has handled some of the most complex geometric units we’ve specified in Fountainebleau, including full-height trapezoids and multi-pane radius assemblies. Mr-Glass has been our go-to for large and odd-shaped aluminum frames when weight is a factor, and we’ve pulled permits and passed inspections on their products across Miami-Dade county for years. ViewLux produces custom-sized, energy-efficient vinyl shapes that hit a strong price-to-performance point for homeowners who don’t need heavy commercial-grade aluminum on a smaller unit.
Whether you have one of these makes or any other custom and geometric window, we can help. If a unit fails and the original manufacturer’s replacement parts are discontinued, we’ll source a suitable system from any of the eight authorized brands we carry. And if you’re building new, we’ll match the brand to the engineering, not the other way around.
Signs You Need Custom & Geometric Windows Right Now
- Condensation between the panes - When fog appears inside the glass, the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. In a shaped window the seal failure is often caused by frame deflection, meaning a simple glass replacement won’t solve the root problem; the whole unit needs to be evaluated.
- Visible sagging or cracked frame joints - Geometric window corners carry stress concentrated in a few linear inches of frame. If you can see daylight through the mitres or the frame has shifted enough to bind the sash, the unit is no longer performing structurally, especially during high-wind events.
- Water staining on the wall or sill below the window - Custom shapes have more perimeter sealant line than rectangles. When a perimeter seal fails on a trapezoid or arch, water follows the wall plane downward. The stain you see on the drywall is usually the trailing edge of a leak that’s been happening for months.
- High energy bills with no other explanation - South Florida air conditioning runs constantly in summer, but an unexplained spike can trace back to a south- or west-facing custom unit whose Low-E coating has degraded or whose frame has warped enough to break the weatherstripping seal. Heat gain through a single failed large window can add a measurable load to your system.
- Original hardware is discontinued or broken - If your geometric window uses a proprietary hinge or lock that the manufacturer no longer sells, you’ll be told to replace the whole unit. That’s standard for many builders’ grade products from the 80s and 90s, and it’s frequently the moment a custom replacement becomes the only workable answer.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Process - Step by Step
Replacing a custom or geometric window has more moving parts than a stock swapout. Here’s how Ed Winslow’s crew handles it, start to finish.
- 1
Measure and template - We measure every side, diagonal, and radius of the existing opening, and for complex shapes we create a physical template so the factory sees the exact geometry, not just a set of numbers. Laser distance meters and digital angle finders let us record the frame precisely and share that with the manufacturer’s engineering team before the order is placed.
- 2
Engineering and documentation - We pull the product approval and NOA for your specific opening and confirm the unit’s design pressure rating meets Miami-Dade’s requirement for the location and height of the wall. If the submission requires supplemental engineering or an NCE (Notice of Acceptance) check, we handle the paperwork and file it with the building department before the permit is issued.
- 3
Factory order and delivery coordination - Once you approve the written line-item quote and we have the signed permit, we place the order and monitor the production timeline. Custom shapes can’t be pulled off a shelf, and rush scheduling from the factory often leads to incomplete quality checks. We communicate every production milestone with you by phone.
- 4
Removal and installation - On the scheduled day, our background-checked and uniformed crew arrives with the new unit, sets up protection for your floors and furniture, removes the old window, and installs the new one with the exact fasteners and sealant pattern specified by the product’s NOA. For oversized windows, we bring the right lifting equipment; nobody is pushing a 300-pound unit over a ladder by hand.
- 5
Permit closeout and Done Right walkthrough - We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector on-site, and close the permit. Then Ed or the lead installer does a final walkthrough with you to confirm the operation, seals, and cleanup meet our standard. If you find anything that isn’t right, call us, and we come back under the Done Right Promise.
How Much Does Custom & Geometric Windows Cost in Fountainebleau?
A typical custom or geometric window replacement in Fountainebleau runs $1,400 to $6,800 per window, installed. A mid-range trapezoid with impact glass and a vinyl frame sits around $2,500 to $3,900. Arched units, especially those requiring true curved vinyl or aluminum, run $2,000 to $5,500 depending on the radius and whether you need impact-rated glazing, while oversized openings or full-height custom shapes can reach $6,000 to $8,000 each when sunrooms, unique designs, or structural reinforcement are involved. The final number changes based on the size of the unit, whether impact glazing is required by code, the frame material you choose, and any structural work needed in the rough opening.
What affects the price the most is the engineering demand: a second-story opening facing open water or a large lake simply has a higher required design pressure, and that means a heavier frame and a more expensive glass package. What you don’t want to do is accept a number from someone who measured with a tape measure from across the yard. We measure, template, and quote from the actual opening, and the written line-item estimate you get is the price you pay if the job hasn’t changed. No change orders added on install day, no surprise upcharges after the old unit is out. Every estimate from us is free, and you’re welcome to take it and get a second opinion from another licensed contractor; we’ll still be here.

Frequently Asked Questions - Custom & Geometric Windows in Fountainebleau
Custom and geometric windows are made-to-order units built to match a non-standard shape or size, including trapezoids, triangles, arches, full-radius curves, and oversized openings. The custom window is an umbrella term for any window that can’t be pulled from a stock catalog, and a geometric window refers more specifically to shapes with angled corners and straight segments that create architectural patterns. In Fountainebleau, we see these most often in mid-century homes and 1970s to 1990s ranch-style properties where the original builder used shaped daylighting as a design feature rather than a straightforward rectangular fenestration.
Most custom and geometric window orders take four to eight weeks from template to installation, depending on the manufacturer’s production queue and whether the unit requires special engineering. The template process adds one or two days to the front end, and permitting in Fountainebleau under Miami-Dade code typically runs another week or two. We’ll give you a written schedule when you approve the quote, and we call you with updates at every milestone so you never have to chase a status number.
Custom and geometric windows in Fountainebleau cost between $1,400 and $8,000 per window installed, depending on the shape, size, glass package, and frame material. The biggest drivers are impact-rated glazing, oversize structural requirements, and the difficulty of the opening. For an exact number on your particular window, call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll schedule a free, no-obligation estimate with a written line-item price.

Every custom and geometric window installation carries the manufacturer’s product warranty plus Winslow Windows & Doors’ Done Right Promise. That’s not a typo; it’s a hundred-year standard. If the installation isn’t done right, we make it right. Written plainly, that’s the warranty we stand behind, and it comes from a company that publishes its address and license number and puts Ed’s name on every job.
Clear furniture and wall hangings within eight feet of the window so our crew has full access and can lay down drop cloths and runners. We’ll need a clear path from the door to the work area, and we’ll run through the full checklist on the phone a day before the install. The team takes care of the rest, leaving the existing interior trim in place matching to the new unit as needed, and we’ll walk you through the final inspection when the permit is closed.
