Arched & Curved Windows in Fountainebleau, FL

Arched and curved windows are custom-shaped openings – half-rounds, quarter-rounds, full ellipses, and eyebrow styles – that require precision fabrication and field-fit installation most standard window companies won’t touch. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been measuring, ordering, and installing these specialty shapes in Fountainebleau since 2011, and Ed Winslow personally oversees every our Custom & Geometric Windows services job. If you have an arched opening that’s leaking, fogged up, or simply original single-pane glass you’re ready to upgrade, call us at (727) 620-6983 – a real person picks up any time of day or night.

Fountainebleau’s housing stock leans heavily Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial – styles that were built with arched transoms, Palladian windows, and curved accent glass as defining architectural features. Replacing those openings isn’t a trip to the home-improvement store. The glass unit has to be fabricated to match the exact radius, the frame profile has to hold a curve without warping in South Florida heat, and the installation has to pass Miami-Dade wind-load requirements. That combination of custom fabrication, impact compliance, and architectural sensitivity is exactly what our Custom & Geometric Windows in Fountainebleau service was built around.

We’re an authorized installer for ECO Window Systems, both of which offer curved and radius units engineered for Florida’s coastal climate. Every estimate is upfront and itemized – no surprises on the invoice. And because we’re locally owned, you’re not calling a call center in another state; you’re calling a company with a published address, a state license, and Ed’s name on the door.

When You Need Arched & Curved Windows

• Foggy or cloudy glass inside the arch. Seal failure in a curved insulated unit is common in Fountainebleau’s humidity. Once moisture gets between the panes, the glass won’t clear – the unit needs to be replaced, not cleaned. This happens frequently in homes along SW 8th Street and the older subdivisions just north of the Tamiami Trail where original builder glass is finally giving out after 25-plus years.
• Single-pane arched glass that won’t meet current Miami-Dade code. If your home has a decorative arched transom that’s still original single-pane, it’s not impact-rated and it likely fails current Florida Building Code energy standards. Upgrading to a laminated, impact-rated curved unit protects the opening and can improve your homeowner’s insurance rating.
• Visible cracking or crazing on the frame. Curved window frames – especially older aluminum extrusions bent to radius – develop stress fractures over time when exposed to repeated thermal expansion in Fountainebleau’s summer heat. A cracked frame can admit water behind the drywall before you ever see a stain on the interior wall.
• Air infiltration around a curved opening. If you feel warm air or hear wind at the top of an arched window during a squall, the frame-to-rough-opening seal has degraded. Standard weatherstripping products don’t conform to curved frames; this requires a proper re-installation with flexible flashing and a correctly profiled frame.
• Renovation or addition that changes an opening to arched. Some homeowners remodeling in Fountainebleau choose to convert a standard rectangular opening to a Palladian or half-round style to match Mediterranean facade details. We handle the full scope – framing coordination, custom unit order, installation, and finishing trim – so one contractor owns the result start to finish.
• Storm damage to a specialty shape that other companies won’t measure. After a named storm passes through Miami-Dade County, many window contractors focus on standard replacement sizes and decline curved work. We don’t. We measure, we order, and we install – with the same Done Right Promise that covers every job we touch.

Our Arched & Curved Windows Process

1. Precision field measurement. Curved openings are almost never perfectly symmetric, even on homes built to plan. Our technician takes multiple radius measurements at the head, jamb, and sill, photographs the existing frame profile, and documents the rough-opening dimensions. For true ellipses or compound curves, we use a radius rod and flexible tape to capture the full geometry before a single order is placed. This step happens before any commitment on your part – the estimate is free.
2. Upfront pricing and unit specification. We present a written, itemized quote that breaks out the fabricated unit cost, installation labor, any required rough-opening modifications, and finishing trim. We do not bundle everything into a single number and dare you to guess what’s inside it. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion – no appointment fee, no pressure.
3. Factory fabrication through authorized brand channels. We order your curved unit through ECO Window Systems or ViewLux depending on the profile that best fits your opening and your performance goals. Both brands fabricate curved insulated glass units with laminated impact-rated panes to meet Florida’s current wind-load standards. Lead times for custom radius units in Fountainebleau typically run three to five weeks from approved order to delivery.
4. Protected removal of the existing unit. We remove the old frame and glass carefully to preserve the surrounding stucco and interior drywall trim. On Fountainebleau’s older Mediterranean homes, this is especially important – the arched molding profiles around these openings are often original plaster work that would be expensive to match if damaged. We protect the opening with a temporary cover between removal and installation if the new unit isn’t arriving the same day.
5. Installation, flashing, and seal. The new curved frame is set into the rough opening, shimmed level and plumb, and anchored to the structural framing. We apply a flexible flashing membrane around the entire perimeter of the curve – including the head – and finish the exterior with a weatherproof sealant rated for South Florida UV and humidity. Interior trim is re-installed or replaced to match the original profile.
6. Final inspection and cleanup. Our technician walks the job with you before leaving. We verify the unit opens and closes correctly (where applicable), check the seal for any gaps, and document the installation for your records – useful for permitting paperwork and homeowner’s insurance files. The truck doesn’t leave until you’re satisfied, and the Done Right Promise means we’ll come back at no charge if anything isn’t right.

Arched & Curved Windows Pricing in Fountainebleau

Arched and curved window replacement in Fountainebleau, FL typically runs between $650 and $2,800 per opening, depending on the size of the arch, the type of curve, and the glass specification. Half-round transoms on the smaller end of the scale – say, 24 to 36 inches wide – tend to fall in the $650 to $950 range for supply and installation. Full Palladian units with a large radius and impact laminated glass can reach $1,800 to $2,800 or more. Geometric & Shaped Windows like true ellipses or compound-curved eyebrow styles carry a fabrication premium over standard half-rounds because the mold and cut work is more involved.

Here’s a general breakdown of what drives the cost up or down in this market:

• Unit size and radius complexity: A 24-inch half-round is straightforward. A 60-inch full ellipse with a non-standard radius is a custom shop order with a higher fabrication cost.
• Glass specification: Standard insulated clear glass costs less than low-e coated, impact-laminated glass. In Fountainebleau, most homeowners opt for impact-rated units because it’s one opening that either meets the code or doesn’t.
• Frame material: Aluminum frames are the standard in this market and are well-suited to South Florida’s climate. Fiberglass-reinforced or vinyl-encased aluminum options are available through ECO Window Systems for specific applications.
• Rough-opening condition: If the framing around an old curved window has water damage or rot, that structural work adds to the total before the new unit goes in. We identify this at measurement, not mid-install.
• Access and height: Ground-floor arched windows are priced differently than second-story units that require staging or ladder work.

If your repair total for a single arched window exceeds $200, our standing $40 off any repair over $200 discount applies automatically – no coupon needed. Senior homeowners and veterans also receive a permanent 10% discount on all work. There is no trip charge for homes inside Miami-Dade County. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free, no-obligation estimate – we’ll come to you, measure the opening, and give you a written number before we leave the driveway.

FAQs – Arched & Curved Windows

Can arched windows be impact-rated in Fountainebleau?

Yes, Custom Impact Windows in arched and curved styles are available and installable in Fountainebleau. Manufacturers like ECO Window Systems produce laminated insulated glass units in custom radius shapes that meet Miami-Dade’s NOA (Notice of Acceptance) wind-load standards. The laminated glass is bonded with an interlayer that holds the pane together under impact, and the frame is engineered to transfer load to the structural rough opening. For any opening in Fountainebleau that faces wind exposure, we strongly recommend specifying an impact-rated unit rather than standard glass – the insurance and code implications are real. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll confirm which specifications apply to your specific address and opening.

How long does it take to replace an arched window in Fountainebleau?

The installation itself typically takes two to four hours per opening once the custom unit arrives. The longer part of the timeline is fabrication: custom radius units ordered through our authorized brand channels generally take three to five weeks from approved order to delivery in the Fountainebleau area. We give you a written production timeline at the time of your estimate so you’re not wondering. If you’re dealing with a broken or failed unit in the meantime, we can install a temporary protective cover at no charge while your custom unit is being fabricated.

Can you match the arch style on my Mediterranean home in Fountainebleau?

In most cases, yes. Fountainebleau has a high concentration of 1960s through 1990s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial homes built with specific arch profiles – full rounds, three-quarter arches, and Oversized Openings like Palladian configurations being the most common. Our measurement process captures the exact geometry of your existing opening, and we work with our fabrication partners to match the radius and frame profile as closely as the current product lines allow. Where an exact match isn’t possible, we discuss the options with you before ordering – never after. Call (727) 620-6983 to schedule a measurement visit and we’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s achievable.

Is it cheaper to repair a fogged arched window or replace it?

For curved insulated glass units, replacement is almost always the more practical path. Unlike flat glass, curved insulated units can’t be re-sealed in the field once the seal fails – the glass has to be factory-fabricated to the correct radius, and there’s no reliable way to dry out or re-seal a fogged curved unit on site. If the frame itself is in good condition with no structural damage or corrosion, we can sometimes replace just the glass unit inside an existing frame, which reduces cost. We assess this at the estimate visit and tell you which approach makes financial sense for your specific opening. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free, in-person look – estimates carry no obligation.
