AfterSingle Hung Windows in Pompano Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
Single hung windows are one of the most common impact-rated replacement profiles we install in Pompano Beach. The design is simple: a fixed upper sash that never moves, and a lower sash that slides up to open. What makes the impact version different is the laminated glass and heavy-duty frame engineering built to hold up under hurricane conditions. Winslow Windows & Doors supplies and installs these windows across our PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO, and Mr-Glass lines, and we’ve fit them into everything from 1960s ranch homes in Pompano Isles to newer construction near the Intracoastal. If you’re pricing out impact windows, call (904) 893-3309 for a free on-site measurement.
Product Overview - Single Hung Windows
A fixed upper sash and an operable lower sash in laminated impact glass. That’s the profile, and it remains one of the most common impact-rated replacement choices in Florida homes for good reason. The single hung design keeps the window simple. Fewer moving parts than a horizontal roller or casement, no swing clearance needed, and a clean vertical line that suits the low-slung Florida ranch and mid-century layouts you see all over Pompano Beach from Cresthaven to Garden Isles.
For hurricane-prone construction, the single hung profile works because the fixed upper sash removes a failure point entirely. The upper sash is set permanently into the frame, sealed at all four sides, and never moves. The lower sash carries the operable hardware, and in the impact series we install, it’s built on reinforced aluminum or vinyl framing with corner keys and interlocking meeting rails. That’s the engineering that keeps the sash together when wind pressure starts cycling against the glass.
When we install single hung impact windows in Pompano Beach, we’re replacing the whole frame, not just swapping sashes. This matters. The window is only as strong as the rough opening it’s anchored into, and our crew sets every unit level, plumb, and square before the perimeter seal goes in. A window that’s racked even slightly will leak air and water long before any storm arrives.

Hurricane & Compliance Performance
Laminated Impact Glass. The glass is made with a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer sandwiched between panes. When debris hits, the glass may crack but the interlayer holds the sheet in the frame, keeping wind and rain out of your Pompano Beach home.
Miami-Dade NOA / FL Product Approval. Every configuration we quote carries Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) and Florida Product Approval numbers. These are issued per configuration, not per product family, so we verify the exact numbers on your final quote.
FBC/HVHZ Compliance. The units are engineered to Florida Building Code (FBC) High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. HVHZ is the strictest wind-code designation in the state, and Pompano Beach sits fully inside it.
TAS 201/202/203 Testing Context. HVHZ-rated products are tested under protocol family TAS 201 (large-missile impact), TAS 202 (cyclic wind-pressure loading), and TAS 203 (forced-entry resistance). These three tests together simulate what a storm actually does to a window.
Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone. We match design pressure to the specific wind zone of your Pompano Beach property, up to +/-100 psf. We don’t oversell higher pressure ratings than your location requires, because paying for a rating you don’t need is wasted money.
Energy Performance. Low-E and insulated glass options are available on these single hung units. In Pompano Beach, the Low-E coating cuts solar heat gain through east and west-facing windows, which is where most afternoon heat comes from.
Color & Glass Options
The finish options are white, almond, bronze, black, and tan. In Pompano Beach, white and almond remain the most common on older concrete-block ranches, while bronze and black show up on more contemporary builds near the beach and along the Intracoastal. Tan has become popular in the Mediterranean-style communities where stucco tones lean warmer. Pick a finish that matches your existing interior trim if you’re replacing windows room by room, or coordinate exterior and interior colors if you’re doing the whole house at once.
On the glass side, clear laminated impact glass gives you the protection without changing the way light enters the room. Tinted glass reduces glare, which matters on west-facing bedrooms in Pompano Beach. Low-E insulated glass is the upgrade for energy performance, pairing the impact interlayer with a low-emissivity coating and insulating air space. We’ll walk you through which glass makes sense for each elevation of your house during the quote visit.
Installation by Winslow Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach
A hurricane-rated window only performs to its NOA rating if it’s installed correctly. We’ve seen what happens when a properly engineered impact window goes into a sloppy opening: water leaks at the sill, air drafts at the jambs, and the whole system loses its performance envelope. That’s why our installation process in Pompano Beach starts before we ever set a window.
Every project begins with a pre-install inspection. We check the rough opening for rot, termite damage, and out-of-square framing, because an impact window cannot correct a bad opening. We measure each unit individually. Then we set the window level, plumb, and square, shimming as needed, and anchor it per the manufacturer’s approved installation method.
The perimeter seal uses AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which fills the gap between the frame and the rough opening without bowing the jambs. Our installation practice follows AAMA 2400 and 2410 standards, and we run a final water test on every unit before trim goes back on. Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought.
There’s a permitting side too. Pompano Beach sits in an HVHZ jurisdiction, which means proper NOA and Florida Product Approval submittals go with your permit application. We handle the paperwork as part of the project, and we know what the local building department expects. Coastal exposure along the barrier islands and intracoastal properties adds another variable, and we account for it in the product selection and anchoring method.
Frequently Asked Questions - Single Hung Windows
These windows are rated by design pressure matched to your Pompano Beach wind zone, up to +/-100 psf. The exact rating depends on the configuration and size of the window, and we’ll verify the number on your quote. Call (904) 893-3309 to get your property’s specific requirements.
Lead time varies by manufacturer line, configuration, and current demand. Most single hung impact window orders from our PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO, and Mr-Glass lines land in a few weeks, but we’ll give you a firm schedule when you place the order. Call (904) 893-3309 for current timing.
Yes. Pompano Beach is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone jurisdiction, so the building department will need the NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers for the exact configurations you’re installing. We provide those documents with your permit package. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll explain what your project needs.
Single hung impact windows are built to order, so sizes are matched to your openings rather than pulled from stock. Configuration options include half or full screens, glass type, and finish color. Custom shapes are limited compared to fixed windows, but standard rectangular openings offer wide flexibility. Call (904) 893-3309 to talk through your openings.
Rinse the tracks and sill with clean water a couple times a year to clear salt and sand, especially on Pompano Beach homes near the ocean. Check the weatherstripping on the lower sash each year, and lubricate the balance system as needed. The laminated glass itself needs nothing beyond normal cleaning with mild soap.
