AfterFast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Medley
Custom and geometric windows in Medley almost always mean commercial or industrial glazing, and the rules here are unlike anywhere else in Florida. Medley sits in Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so every custom opening, whether it’s an arched transom over a loading-bay office or a radius storefront on NW 87th Avenue, must carry a Florida Product Approval with a large-missile impact rating. No exceptions. Our Custom & Geometric Windows team works these industrial corridors weekly, and we spec every frame, gasket, and fastener for the diesel exhaust, salt air, and humidity that eat inferior glazing alive. Call (727) 860-0593 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Medley’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Medley is a different animal. Virtually the entire municipality is zoned industrial, so the work here is commercial: high-cycle sectional doors on distribution centers, impact-rated storefront systems on warehouses, and custom glazing on office frontages that face truck traffic all day. For properties that need full roofing services, we also offer Roof Replacement & Installation in Medley. We’ve been responding to those calls since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do. Facility managers along NW 107th Avenue know our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to measure openings that were never square to begin with.
The Done Right Promise matters here more than anywhere. A standard residential window company will sell a Medley building owner a pretty geometric window with inland-spec aluminum and tempered glass, collect the check, and disappear. Within three or four years, the powder coat is chalked to bare metal, the gaskets have hardened in sulfurous air, and the opening can’t be legally reinstalled because it never had Miami-Dade NOA approval. We don’t play that game. Upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and a promise that stands for a century.
When you call Winslow about custom or geometric windows in Medley, you reach a real person, not a voicemail loop. Ed owns the company, publishes his address and license number, and answers the phone at 2 a.m. the same way he does at 2 p.m. That’s the difference between a contractor and a neighbor.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Medley
Custom Impact Windows
Every custom opening in Medley falls under Miami-Dade County’s NOA system, the strictest hurricane-impact certification regime in the United States. That means a custom arched window over an office door needs the same large-missile rating as the 12-foot storefront below it. We fabricate Impact Windows in Medley from PGT and CGI with laminated glass, stainless steel hardware, and thermally broken frames rated for Medley’s wind-speed design zone, which is the highest in the continental US. A typical custom impact window in Medley runs $1,800 to $4,500 installed, depending on opening geometry and design pressure.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Triangles, trapezoids, octagons, parallelogram transoms. Medley’s older warehouses and office frontages are full of these, and the uneven masonry openings common to 1970s and 1980s industrial construction make measurement an art. We field-measure every opening before fabrication, and we account for the thermal racking and truck vibration that hit west-facing frontages along NW 107th Avenue all day. Custom geometric units in Medley typically run $1,200 to $3,800 per opening, with NOA-rated impact glass adding materially to the cost but legally required on every permitted install.
Arched & Curved Windows
An arched transom over a loading-bay office looks simple until the radius is off by half an inch and the frame binds. We cut custom radius thermally broken frames from ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass systems, then mate them with curved impact-rated laminated glass that holds its large-missile rating through daily wash-downs and 120°F attic-side temperatures. On one distribution center off NW 107th Avenue, our techs replaced a failing arched transom that had been fabricated with inland-spec aluminum and standard tempered glass. Within four years, the painted finish was chalked to bare metal at the jamb seams and salt-laden diesel exhaust had etched the outer lite so badly the plant manager couldn’t tell forklift traffic from daylight. We specified a CGI custom radius thermally broken frame with stainless steel hinges and a Miami-Dade NOA laminated unit. It’s still clean five years later.
Oversized Openings
Medley’s showrooms and distribution hubs want glass walls, and the mullion patterns on west-facing warehouse frontages take a beating. Oversized custom window mullions rack under daily thermal cycling and constant truck vibration, causing insulated glass units to lose argon fill and fog within five years if the frame wasn’t assembled with stainless steel fasteners and HVHZ-rated connectors. We build oversized openings that stay square. Expect $2,500 to $7,000 for a complex custom opening in Medley, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any deposit changes hands.

Trusted Brands We Service in Medley
We’re an authorized installer for ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and Therma-Tru, along with four other premium brands, and we handle Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing - Medley projects as well. That matters in Medley because the local building stock demands products that survive salt air, diesel exhaust, and Miami-Dade’s HVHZ wind loads, not whatever a big-box retailer has in aisle seven. Our techs stock the gaskets, rollers, hinges, and fasteners specific to commercial glazing failure modes in Medley, which means fewer return trips and faster turnarounds on warranty work. A live person answers every call about brand compatibility, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more financial sense.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Medley Homes
- Chalked and pitted frames within 2-3 years. Powder-coated aluminum on custom radius or geometric windows pits along the jamb from constant diesel exhaust and humidity, especially where the coating got scratched during installation at uneven masonry openings common to older Medley warehouses. We spec marine-grade finishes that hold up to daily wash-downs.
- Non-NOA custom glazing that fails impact tests. Decorative office fronts or showroom windows spec’d before code changes often can’t pass large-missile impact tests once sealing gaskets harden in sulfurous air. The owner is left with uninsurable units that can’t be legally reinstalled. We replace them with NOA-rated laminated units, not another temporary fix.
- Fogged insulated glass in oversized mullion patterns. West-facing Medley warehouse frontages rack under thermal cycling and truck vibration. If the frame wasn’t assembled with stainless steel fasteners and HVHZ-rated connectors, the argon leaks out and the unit fogs within five years. We rebuild the mullion pattern to the opening’s actual design pressure.
- Hardware corrosion on high-cycle openings. Standard aluminum hinges and handles corrode fast in Medley’s salt-laden air, and on any window near a loading dock, the hardware sees more cycles per year than a residential window sees in a decade. We use stainless steel hardware rated for industrial environments.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Medley
Let’s talk real numbers for Medley specifically. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, which is most of what we do in Medley, run $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-building packages for commercial frontages can push $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and wind-zone requirements. What moves the price here is usually the number of openings, the design pressure your building needs, floor height, and frame material. Medley’s industrial stock demands thermally broken aluminum with stainless hardware, which costs more than inland-spec vinyl but won’t fail in three years. Call (727) 860-0593 for a free in-home measure and a written quote. Fixed pricing, no change orders.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in Medley, FL
For a standard custom arched or geometric impact window in Medley, budget between $1,800 and $4,500 installed. A full storefront or oversized multi-lite opening runs $2,500 to $7,000 depending on glass type, mullion complexity, and how much engineering the opening needs. The honest truth is that Medley’s HVHZ code makes every custom opening more expensive than the same job in Broward or Palm Beach County, and that’s before you factor in the stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade finishes that keep the unit alive. Cheap spec costs more within a decade. We’ll show you both numbers, side by side, and let you decide. Estimates are free, and we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate from another contractor.
Florida Pays You Back
Medley building owners have real incentives on the table, and we help you stack them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though program availability and eligibility rotate. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many carriers apply windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. We don’t guarantee any of these numbers; your carrier and program administrator set the final figures. What we do guarantee is the paperwork: every install gets the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation your building needs to qualify in the first place. Impact windows beat hurricane shutters every time because the protection is permanent. You don’t hang panels, you don’t store them, and you don’t die on a ladder in a storm because you forgot to put them up before the first feeder band arrived.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in Medley
Yes. Miami-Dade’s HVHZ building code applies to all permitted glazing regardless of building use, so a custom arched window over a warehouse office door needs the same Florida Product Approval and large-missile rating as a residential coastal home. Commercial or industrial designation changes nothing. If your unit lacks NOA approval and you need to replace or reinstall it, you cannot legally do so without bringing it up to current code. Call (727) 860-0593 and we’ll verify your opening’s approval status for free.
Because standard aluminum hardware corrodes in Medley’s salt-laden, diesel-polluted air, and the failure point is usually the hinge or latch on a window that faces truck traffic all day. Stainless steel costs more upfront but survives daily wash-downs, humidity, and cycle counts that residential hardware never sees. Replacing corroded hardware on a custom window usually means pulling the sash, which costs far more than the hardware premium. We’d rather install the right hardware the first time. Get a written quote with both options, side by side, by calling (727) 860-0593.
Yes, we can match the curve and the sightlines, but the replacement unit must carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, which the original likely never had if it predates the current code. We reverse-engineer the radius from the existing opening, then fabricate a new curved impact-rated laminated glass unit in a frame rated for the opening’s actual design pressure. The replacement won’t be a visual copy of the original single-pane unit, because current code requires laminated impact glass. It will be legal, insurable, and built to survive Medley’s environment. Call (727) 860-0593 for a free measure and a written quote.
In most cases, yes, provided the entire assembly carries a valid Florida Product Approval and the wind-mitigation inspection documents the NOA numbers for each configuration. The credit depends on your carrier’s underwriting model and the inspector’s report, not on the window’s shape or mullion complexity. We provide the product approval documentation for every unit we install, and we’ll walk you through what your inspector needs to see. The inspection itself typically runs $75 to $150. Call (727) 860-0593 and we’ll explain exactly what paperwork your carrier will want.
Fogging happens when the insulated glass unit loses its argon fill and moisture enters the air space, and in Medley the culprits are almost always mullion racking from thermal cycling, truck vibration, or frame assembly with standard fasteners that work loose. The fix is a new IGU in a frame assembled with stainless steel fasteners and HVHZ-rated connectors, with the opening measured to its actual design pressure rather than a one-size-fits-all number. We rebuild the frame, not just the glass. Call (727) 860-0593 for a free evaluation of your fogged unit.
