How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS builds a solid window, but after working on hundreds of them across Fountainebleau, we’ve learned exactly where they give out and what to do about it. Here’s what we see most often:

• CWS Series 600 single hung: balance shoe fatigue. The constant up-and-down in humid Fountainebleau air wears the plastic balance shoe faster than you’d expect. The window sags on one side, binds mid-travel, or drops when you let go. We replace the balance system with a matched set, not just the failed side, so the sash hangs true.
• CWS 3-lite slider: roller assembly flat-spotting. Those big horizontal panels ride on nylon rollers that flatten over time, especially on west-facing walls that bake in the afternoon sun. You hear a grinding sound or the panel drags across the track. We pull the sash, swap in new roller assemblies, clean the track, and the panel glides like it left the factory.
• CWS casement windows: operator gear stripping. The crank mechanism on CWS casements uses a brass gear that can strip if the sash gets forced against a stuck hinge. The crank spins free and the window won’t open or close. We replace the operator, inspect the hinge arms for binding, and re-torque everything so it opens with one finger.
• CWS awning windows: failing hinge friction stays. Fountainebleau gets real wind driven rain in summer, and awning windows take the brunt of it. The friction stays that hold the sash open corrode and lose tension, so the window won’t stay cracked for ventilation. We install new stainless stays sized for the sash weight; they hold position and resist corrosion far longer than the factory originals.
• CWS Series 500 horizontal roller: sill track deformation. When water pools in the track after a tropical downpour, the aluminum can warp or the weep holes clog with debris and the sash starts to bind on the low side. We level the track, clear or enlarge the weeps, and re-bed the sill if water’s been getting behind the frame.

Our CWS Window Installation Process

When you call Winslow Windows & Doors about a CWS window in Fountainebleau, here’s exactly how the job goes:

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. No phone tree, no call center. We ask what the window is doing, what brand it is, and when it started. We schedule a visit that fits your day.
2. 2
   We inspect the window and the opening. A background-checked, uniformed technician shows up at the agreed time. We look at the sash, frame, glazing, weatherstripping, and surrounding wall for hidden water damage before we talk numbers.
3. 3
   We give you a written quote. Line items, not lump sums. You’ll see exactly what parts cost and what labor costs. If a repair makes more sense than replacement, we tell you that, even when it means a smaller job for us.
4. 4
   Parts: OEM when it matters, quality aftermarket when it’s smarter. For structural or impact-rated components, we use CWS OEM parts so your warranty stays intact. For wear items like rollers and weatherstripping, we often use aftermarket parts that outperform the originals in Fountainebleau’s heat and salt air.
5. 5
   Installation and testing. We set the window, level it, seal it, and cycle it multiple times. We check for drafts with a smoke pencil and confirm the locking points engage fully.
6. 6
   Cleanup and walkthrough. We leave your home cleaner than we found it. You test the window yourself. If anything isn’t right, the Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.
