AfterDouble Hung Windows in Pompano Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
Double hung windows are the classic Florida workhorse: two sashes that glide vertically, tilt in for easy cleaning, and keep a traditional profile that suits everything from 1950s Pompano Beach ranch homes to new coastal builds. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we supply and install impact-rated double hung windows across our PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO, and Mr-Glass lines, so you get real hurricane protection without giving up the look you want. We’ve been installing these systems in Pompano Beach long enough to know that the difference between a window that performs and one that fails is almost always the install. Call (904) 893-3309 to talk through your project.
Product Overview - Double Hung Windows
A double hung window runs two movable sashes in a single frame. The top sash slides down, the bottom sash slides up, and both tilt inward when you want to clean the exterior glass from inside the house. That matters more in Pompano Beach than people expect: with salt air, afternoon storms, and pollen from the Australian pines, glass gets dirty fast, and a tilt-in double hung means you never need a ladder just to keep your view clear.
What separates an impact double hung from the standard version is the laminated glass and the frame engineering behind it. The glass carries a PVB interlayer that holds the pane together under impact. The frame is built to stay square under wind load, which matters when a storm pushes against the full elevation of your home. You get the traditional vertical-glide operation with modern hurricane-rated protection baked in.
Architecturally, double hungs work almost anywhere. They read as “Florida classic” rather than “modern statement,” which is why we see them most often on single-family homes, second-story bedroom windows, and whole-house replacements where the owner wants impact performance without changing the home’s character. Winslow Windows & Doors installs these daily across Pompano Beach, from Garden Isles to Harbor Village, and the feedback is consistently the same: they operate like a regular window, but you stop worrying when the cone of uncertainty points our way.
Technical Specifications
- Frame materials: Aluminum or vinyl, chosen by structural requirement and design preference. Aluminum frames are extruded for strength in larger openings and multi-story Pompano Beach homes. Vinyl frames offer a lower thermal profile for energy-focused replacements.
- Glass options: Laminated impact glass with PVB interlayer as the protective core; Low-E insulated glass for thermal performance; tinted glass for sun control; clear glass for maximum natural light.
- Finish options: White, Almond, Bronze, Black, and Tan. Bronze and Black have grown steadily in Pompano Beach over the last few years as darker frames moved into new construction. White and Almond remain the safe, timeless defaults.
- Screen options: Half screen (top sash only, common for second-story windows where you want airflow without the visual weight) or full screen (covers the entire opening).
- Sill options: Standard pitched sill profiles suited to HVHZ flashing and drainage practices.
- Design pressure: Matched to your wind zone, up to +/-100. Never higher than the window actually needs for its placement on the structure.
Hurricane & Compliance Performance
Laminated Impact Glass
Each sash carries laminated glass with a PVB interlayer. Under impact, the outer pane may crack but the interlayer holds the glass in the frame, keeping the window closed and the weather on the outside. This is the core protective mechanism in every impact double hung we install in Pompano Beach.
Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval
Every configuration carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval number. These are issued per specific size and frame combination, so we verify the exact numbers on your quote before any order goes in. That paperwork is what your building official looks for.
FBC/HVHZ Compliance
The product line is engineered to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That means the frame, glass, and anchoring were designed for the stricter of Florida’s two wind standards, which covers Pompano Beach and all of Broward County.
TAS 201 / TAS 202 / TAS 203 Testing Context
HVHZ-rated products are tested under the TAS protocol family. TAS 201 covers large-missile impact, TAS 202 covers cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 covers forced-entry resistance. Any product carrying Miami-Dade NOA status has been through this suite.
Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone
We spec design pressures to match the window’s actual position on your home, up to +/-100. A window on the leeward wall of a one-story Pompano Beach home does not need the same rating as a second-story opening facing the Intracoastal, and over-specing wastes money. We match it, we don’t inflate it.
Energy Performance
Low-E and insulated glass options are available for homeowners who want the impact protection plus a better thermal barrier. Low-E coatings cut solar heat gain (relevant here about eleven months a year) and insulated glass units reduce heat transfer through the frame cavity.
Color & Glass Options
Frame finishes are White, Almond, Bronze, Black, and Tan. White and Almond are the workhorses of Pompano Beach; they match most existing trim and keep the exterior looking clean and bright. If you’re on the beachside or living in a Mediterranean-inspired home in Hillsboro Shores, Bronze and Black frames look sharp against stucco and barrel-tile roofs. Tan works well where the home has earthy exterior tones and you want the windows to recede rather than frame themselves.
Glass is where the real decisions happen. Clear laminated impact glass gives you maximum light transmission and the classic double hung look. Tinted glass cuts daytime glare and reduces solar load, which you’ll feel on west-facing elevations in Pompano Beach. Low-E insulated glass adds a thermal layer for air-conditioned comfort and is a smart choice when the window faces direct sun. All glass options carry the impact-rated laminated construction, so protection is not something you choose between; it’s built in from the start.
Installation by Winslow Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach
A hurricane-rated double hung window is only as good as the install around it. The NOA and Florida Product Approval apply to a fully installed system: window, anchoring, sealant, flashing. If any one piece is done poorly, the whole assembly is compromised. That’s why we install per AAMA 2400 and 2410 practice, and that starts before the first screw goes in.
Every installation begins with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the framing, the existing flashing, any signs of water damage at the sill, and the condition of the surrounding stucco or siding. Pompano Beach’s humidity and afternoon downpours expose old leaks fast, and if we find one, we stop and show you before we proceed.
The window goes in level, plumb, and square. We shim precisely, anchor per the product’s NOA requirements for your wind zone, and seal the perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which provides an air and moisture barrier without pushing the frame out of alignment. Flashing is integrated with the existing WRB (weather-resistive barrier) so water sheds outward, not into the wall cavity. After install, we run a water test on the opening, then caulk the exterior trim, clean the glass and frames, and haul away the old units.
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County, a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so permit submittals generally require the NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation for every window on the project. We work with your contractor or directly with your building department to get the right paperwork matched to the right opening. We’re used to the process; it’s part of every single job we do here.
Frequently Asked Questions - Double Hung Windows
The double hung is rated by design pressure, not a single wind speed, and that number is matched to the opening’s position on your specific Pompano Beach home, up to +/-100 PSF. We spec the rating your elevation and wind zone actually require, never higher. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll confirm the exact rating for your project.
Lead time runs roughly 6 to 10 weeks for most impact double hung configurations in Pompano Beach, depending on the manufacturer, frame material, and glass package you choose. Custom sizing and specific finish selections can push toward the longer end. If you’re working against a closing date or a permit window, call (904) 893-3309 early and we’ll lock the order in.
Yes. Broward County is an HVHZ jurisdiction, meaning every impact window on the permit must be backed by a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval specific to that exact configuration. We provide the matching documentation with your order, verified against your quote, so the permit package goes through without a back-and-forth. Call (904) 893-3309 if you need help getting that paperwork organized.
Yes, within the NOA-tested size and pressure ranges for the product. Double hungs can be configured as a single unit, multiple side-by-side units, or combined with transoms and fixed panels depending on the design you’re after. Anything outside the tested range would not carry a valid NOA, so we’ll tell you honestly if a requested size won’t work and show you what will. Call (904) 893-3309 with your rough opening dimensions and we’ll map it out with you.
Maintenance is low but not zero. Rinse the tracks and sill channels once or twice a year, and more often if your Pompano Beach home sits close to the ocean where salt residue builds up. Lubricate the balance system and hinge points with a dry silicone spray annually, and keep the weep holes at the bottom of the frame clear so water drains properly. The tilt-in sashes make the glass easy to clean from inside the house, which you’ll appreciate on second-story windows.
