AfterGeometric & Shaped Windows in Pembroke Pines, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
Geometric and shaped windows bring something most rectangular units can’t: a real architectural moment. Triangles, hexagons, octagons, radius tops, even true arcs. In Pembroke Pines, we see them used everywhere from Mediterranean-inspired entry facades to modern builds looking for a clean focal point above a front door or staircase. The catch is that in Florida, a beautiful shaped window still has to hold up to hurricane wind loads. That’s where TruePane Windows & Doors comes in. We fabricate and install impact-rated geometric windows across PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO, and Mr-Glass lines, all engineered for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Call (863) 208-6105 to start a project or schedule a measurement.
Product Overview - Geometric & Shaped Windows
Most shaped windows sold in Florida fall into one of two camps. There’s the decorative unit with a standard glass package that would never pass a Miami-Dade review. Then there’s what we sell: a custom-fabricated impact window that happens to be triangular, hexagonal, octagonal, or curved. The shape is the design feature, but the engineering underneath is identical to what you’d find in a high-performance rectangular impact window.
Each unit is made to the exact rough opening we measure on site. That matters more with shaped windows than any other product because there’s no “close enough.” A half-inch off on a radius top means a window that looks wrong from the street and leaks at the first storm. We’ve installed shaped units across Pembroke Pines, from Chapels Trail to SilverLakes to Grand Palms, and the same issue comes up each time: the builder framed the opening years ago, the original window was junk, and now the homeowner wants the shape kept but the performance upgraded. That’s the job. Aluminum and vinyl frame options, laminated impact glass, and finishes that match the rest of the house. Architectural detail without sacrificing wind-zone protection.

Hurricane & Compliance Performance
Laminated Impact Glass
The core of every shaped window we sell in Pembroke Pines is laminated glass with a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer. When debris hits, the glass may crack but the interlayer holds the pane in the frame. That’s the difference between a broken window and a breached building envelope during a storm.
Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval
Each geometric configuration carries its own Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval numbers. These are issued per configuration, not blanket-listed, so we verify the exact numbers on your specific quote before any permit submittal. No exceptions.
FBC / HVHZ Compliance
Every shaped unit we fabricate is engineered to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That’s the standard Pembroke Pines building officials enforce, and it’s the one that actually matters when a storm tracks through Broward County.
TAS 201 / 202 / 203 Testing Context
HVHZ-rated products are tested under the TAS protocol family. TAS 201 covers large-missile impact, TAS 202 simulates cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 addresses forced-entry resistance. Our geometric units sit inside that same testing framework.
Design Pressure Matched to Your Wind Zone
We do not over-spec design pressure to sell a bigger window. Each unit is matched to the wind zone where it will be installed, up to +/-100. No more. That keeps the price honest and the performance exactly where the engineering says it should be.
Energy Performance Options
Low-E and insulated glass configurations are available for shaped windows, which helps in a climate like Pembroke Pines where the sun hits west-facing glass hard from March through October. Tinted options serve the same purpose with a darker aesthetic.
Color & Glass Options
Finish selection in Pembroke Pines tends to follow the architecture. White and Almond work well on the Mediterranean and Spanish-influenced homes common across the western neighborhoods. Bronze and Black show up more on contemporary builds and homes with dark trim packages. Tan splits the difference and reads warm against stucco.
On glass, the choice usually comes down to sun control and privacy. Clear glass keeps sightlines honest. Tinted glass cuts glare and adds a little daytime privacy without a film. Low-E insulated glass is what we recommend for shaped windows that get direct afternoon sun, since an oddly shaped piece of glass is harder to retrofit with a window treatment. Laminated impact glass is the foundation under all of it; the other options stack on top of that base.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Pembroke Pines
Installation is where shaped windows live or die. A rectangular window has four square corners and forgiving tolerances. A hexagon has eight joints that all need to line up with the rough opening, the exterior finish, and the interior trim. There’s no fudging it.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the opening. We check the framing, look for rot or termite damage, and verify the actual dimensions against the plan. Then the unit is set level, plumb, and square, which on a radius top means shimming with patience and checking with a digital level at multiple points. The perimeter is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, followed by the exterior sealant system per AAMA 2400/2410 practice. We water-test the installation before we clean up and walk the job with you.
One thing we tell every Pembroke Pines homeowner: an NOA-rated window installed out of square is no longer an NOA-rated window in practice. The approval covers the product as installed within the manufacturer’s tolerances and the code’s requirements. Coastal exposure, wind zone, and permit submittals all depend on the installation being done by someone who knows the HVHZ rules. That’s the only way we do it.
Frequently Asked Questions - Geometric & Shaped Windows
Design pressure is matched to the specific wind zone where the unit is installed, up to +/-100, and no higher. We calculate the required DP based on your address in Pembroke Pines, the window’s location on the house, and the local building code requirements.
Since every shaped window is fabricated to order, lead times run longer than stock rectangle units. Typical production runs four to eight weeks depending on the configuration, glass package, and finish. We confirm the timeline on your quote before you commit. Call (863) 208-6105 to get the current schedule.
Yes. The building department in Pembroke Pines will ask for the Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval numbers that correspond to your exact configuration. We pull those documents before submittal and include them in the permit package. No numbers are guessed; each configuration has its own approval.
That’s the entire point of the product. Triangles, hexagons, octagons, trapezoids, radius tops, and true arches are all fabricated to the opening you have. We measure, you approve the drawing, and the unit is built to those dimensions.
A rinse with mild soap and water twice a year is usually enough for the frame. Keep the weep holes clear of debris, and don’t use abrasive cleaners on the finish. In Pembroke Pines, salt spray and pollen are the two things we see most; both wash off easily with regular maintenance.
