Call (561) 264-1337

This page is written for CWS homeowners in Boca Raton who own a window that is not a stock rectangle. Arched tops, hexagons, radius corners, trapezoids, oversized picture windows with operable side units. These windows were ordered to fit a specific opening, and when they fail, the fix is rarely off-the-shelf. If you have a CWS geometric window that is fogged, binding, leaking, or simply not closing the way it used to, call (561) 264-1337 and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS is a Florida manufacturer, so their windows are built for heat, humidity, and hurricane code. That means they use heavy aluminum frames, laminated glass in impact models, and substantial weatherstripping. But no window is immune to time, salt air, and the specific stress that comes with non-rectangular geometry. Here is what we actually see on CWS jobs in Boca Raton:

• Seal failure in radius and arched units. Curved and angled glass puts uneven stress on the spacer bar that holds the insulated glass unit together. On CWS radius windows, the seal along the curved edge tends to fail first because the bend creates a natural weak point. You will see fog or a milky film that will not wipe off. We replace the IGU with a matching curved unit, not a flat glass retrofit that distorts the view and voids the thermal performance.
• Operable sash sagging on CWS casement and awning units. Geometric windows often include an operable section below or beside a fixed pane. On CWS models with heavy laminated glass, the friction hinges and pivot hardware wear faster than they would on a smaller rectilinear window. The sash starts scraping the frame on the bottom corner, then the crank feels tight, then it will not seat fully. We reset the sash, replace the hardware, and re-square the frame so the reveal stays even all the way around.
• Weeping system clogs on mid-rise Boca Raton condos. Any CWS window near the coast accumulates salt and fine sand in the weep holes along the bottom track. When the weeps clog, water pools inside the frame and eventually finds its way into the drywall below the sill. We see this a lot in buildings along A1A and in the older condo corridors off Palmetto Park Road. We remove the sash, clear the weeps, test with water, and often add a coarser screen to keep the salt film from packing the channel again.
• Glazing bead shrink and frame stress at the corners of shaped windows. Trapezoids, pentagons, and half-rounds concentrate stress at their corners. On CWS windows that have been through a few hot summers and a couple of storm seasons, the vinyl glazing bead can pull away from the aluminum frame at those acute angles, leaving hairline gaps that whistle in a north wind. We re-glaze, reseat the bead, and check the structural square before calling it done.
• Failed balance systems in CWS vertical sliders used in geometric assemblies. CWS makes some tall vertical slider configurations that homeowners pair with fixed transom shapes above. The coil balances inside those sliders can fatigue, especially if the window is oversized or the glass is impact-laminated. You will notice the sash will not stay up, or it drops hard when you release it. We replace the balance assemblies and adjust the track tension, then cycle the window a dozen times before we leave.

Our CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Process

When you call us about a CWS window, here is how the job goes from start to finish. No surprises, no scope creep, no second appointment left hanging.

1. 1
   Call and describe what you are seeing. A live person answers the phone, any hour. We ask about the window shape, when the problem started, and whether water or air is coming through. That tells us what to bring.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and diagnostics. We measure the opening twice, the sash twice, and the glass twice. CWS geometric windows are rarely square, so the diagonal measurement matters as much as the width and height. We also identify the series if the original labels are still present.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM vs. quality aftermarket. If CWS hardware is still available and the warranty is intact, we use it. If the part is discontinued or the homeowner is out of warranty, we source aftermarket components that match the original spec, not just whatever fits. You get a straight answer on both options before we order anything.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We set the glass, replace the hardware, re-seal the frame, and anchor the unit the way it was meant to be anchored. Uniformed technicians, background-checked, and careful in your home the way we would be in our own mother’s.
5. 5
   Test and walkthrough. We run the window through full cycles, check the seal with a moisture meter, and verify the reveal is true. Then we walk you through exactly what we did and what we guarantee.
6. 6
   Paperwork and warranty registration. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Durations are stated. No fine print that covers neither of you.

What CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Boca Raton

Here are the price ranges we quote for CWS custom and geometric work in Boca Raton. These are honest starting points, not bait numbers.

• Seal replacement on a CWS radius or arched fixed window: $240-$420 per insulated glass unit, depending on shape and glass type.
