AfterTrusted Custom & Geometric Windows for West Palm Beach Homeowners
Custom and geometric windows in West Palm Beach are not a stock-order item. They’re built to a homeowner’s exact opening, angle, and architectural intent, and they fail differently than standard rectangles do. A five-sided trapezoid over a front entry in El Cid, a radius arch in a 1926 Mediterranean revival off Flagler Drive, a full-height octagon in a Northwood Hills sunroom: each one carries the same risks - warped frames, failed seals, glass that no longer matches, and installers who measure once and hope. TruePane Windows & Doors has built and set shaped windows across Palm Beach County since 2008, and every job starts the same way: we measure the opening twice, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. If you’re looking at a window that’s fogged, binding, or simply wrong for the opening, call (561) 264-1279 and talk to a person who knows the difference between a true radius and a close-enough.
What Our Custom & Geometric Windows Service Includes
Custom Impact Windows
A custom impact window is not a standard impact window with a different sticker. It’s a laminated-glass assembly engineered for a specific opening, a specific wind load, and a specific elevation on your house. In West Palm Beach, where Florida Building Code requires impact protection on most residential structures, a custom-sized impact window has to meet the same Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval standards as an off-the-shelf unit, but it also has to be glazed to an opening that may be 40 years old and a quarter-inch out of square. We order these from manufacturers who cut and temper to our field measurements, then we set them with the same attention we’d give a window on our own homes. The result is a shaped impact window that actually protects the opening it was built for, not one that sort of fits and leaks at the corners.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Geometric windows take the shape the architect wanted and the house demands: trapezoids, parallelograms, half-rounds, quarter-rounds, pentagons, octagons, and a few we can’t name because the homeowner drew them on a napkin. These windows are ordered from shop drawings, not from a catalog, and the difference between a good one and a bad one comes down to the shop drawing itself. TruePane pulls the actual field dimensions, verifies the rough opening on all four sides, and sends the manufacturer a drawing that accounts for the home’s actual framing, not the framing the original blueprints assumed. When the unit arrives, we dry-fit before we set, and we don’t caulk over gaps. A geometric window that’s out of true by even half an inch will show it in the sightline, and the founding rule at TruePane has always been: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched and curved windows are the highest-risk shape in residential glazing because the radius has to be exact. A semi-circle that’s a degree shallow or a spring line that’s off by a quarter inch means the window fights the rough opening for its entire service life, and the seal is the first thing to let go. We see this in the older neighborhoods of West Palm Beach - Grandview Heights, Prospect Park, the historic districts south of Banyan - where original arched openings were framed by hand and no two are identical. TruePane measures the radius with a field template, not a tape measure and a prayer, and we order the unit with frame reinforcement suited to a curved lite. If your arched window has a cracked spring-line joint or condensation you can’t wipe off, that’s the first sign the last installer didn’t measure the curve. We do.
Oversized Openings
An oversized opening means a window or a fixed panel that exceeds stock sizing: picture windows, floor-to-ceiling glazing, or a combination of fixed and operable units in one rough opening. The engineering matters more here than anywhere else, because a 10-foot-by-8-foot lite of tempered glass carries weight and wind load that a 3-by-5 double-hung never will. TruePane handles the structural side as well as the glass side: we check the header, verify the existing lintel or add one where the original framing was inadequate, and we specify mullion reinforcement and proper perimeter anchoring for each manufacturer. In West Palm Beach’s coastal exposure, an oversized window that’s under-engineered is a liability in the first hurricane season. We build these openings to stay square and stay sealed, and we register every warranty in writing before we leave.

Brands We Service for Custom & Geometric Windows
We are an authorized installer for ES Windows, and we’ve set enough of their units in West Palm Beach homes to know how their shop drawings translate to field conditions. Their curved and angled products are built to close tolerances, which rewards careful field measurement and punishes sloppy rough-opening work. When we quote an ES Windows shaped unit, we quote the exact glazing package, the exact finish, and the exact lead time, and we put that on paper next to any other line you’re considering.
We also service and install CWS and Mr-Glass units across Palm Beach County, and we’ve repaired more ECO Window Systems geometric frames than we can count, usually because the original installation shortchanged the flashing or the anchoring. The brand matters less than the way the window was set. Whether you have an ES Windows arch, a CWS trapezoid, an ECO octagon, a Mr-Glass radius, or any other make, we can help. The estimate is free, and it’s specific: line by line, with the brand, the glazing, the finish, and the warranty terms written out so you can read them before you sign anything.
Signs You Need Custom & Geometric Windows Right Now
- Condensation between the glass panes. A shaped window with a failed seal shows fog or moisture you can’t reach with a rag. The insulating gas is gone, the thermal performance is gone, and the only real fix for a custom-shaped unit is replacement of the insulated glass, which has to be ordered to the exact curve or angle.
- The window binds at one corner or won’t close square. Geometric windows don’t rack like a standard double-hung, but an out-of-true rough opening will transfer stress to the sash, the hinges, and eventually the seal. If an operable trapezoid or arch wing is rubbing the frame in one spot, the opening has moved or the frame was never square. Letting it go turns a glaze-and-set job into a full-unit replacement.
- Cracked glass at the point of the shape. A stress crack that starts at the apex of an arch or the acute corner of a pentagon is not a surface blemish. It’s a sign the glass is carrying a load it was never meant to carry, usually because the frame was twisted at set or the glazing pocket is too tight. Shaped glass under stress will keep propagating until it fails.
- Visible gaps or caulk joints pulling away from the frame. Caulk is not a structural connection, but failing caulk around a geometric window often signals deeper movement: settling, thermal expansion, or a unit that was shimmed into place instead of set square. Water that gets behind the frame rots the rough opening fast in West Palm Beach’s humidity, and by the time you see the stain inside, the repair is bigger than the window.
- Leaks at the spring line of an arch or the base of a trapezoid. These are the classic failure points for shaped windows in South Florida, where driving rain hits the lower curve of an arch and the wide sill of a trapezoid at an angle. If you’re mopping up water after a summer storm, call us before the next one. (561) 264-1279. We’ll find where the water is getting in, not just where it shows up inside.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Process - Step by Step
Here’s how it works when you call TruePane Windows & Doors for a custom or geometric window in West Palm Beach.
- 1
Phone consultation and appointment. A live person answers (561) 264-1279 when you call - day or night, weekday or weekend, not a voicemail tree. We ask what you’re seeing, where the window is, and when you noticed it. Then we set a time that works for you, and we show up when we say we will, in a company truck with a uniformed technician.
- 2
Field measurement and assessment. The technician measures the rough opening on all four sides, then measures the existing unit, then checks the framing behind the sheetrock or stucco where the situation calls for it. For arched windows we make a physical template. For oversized openings we check the header and lintel. This is the step that separates a window that fits from a window that fights, and we do it on every shaped unit, no exceptions.
- 3
Side-by-side written quote. We give you the price on paper, broken down by line item, quoting the manufacturers that make sense for your opening and your budget. You’ll see exact glazing packages, frame finishes, hardware, lead times, and warranty terms. No allowance games, no “we’ll figure it out later” line items. The price you see is the price you pay.
- 4
Ordering, fabrication, and warranty registration. We send shop drawings directly to the manufacturer and verify the order acknowledgement before the glass gets cut. When the unit ships, we schedule the install. Before we leave your driveway on install day, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, and copied to you. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job.
- 5
Installation, cleanup, and final inspection. The new window or glass is set square, anchored, flashed, and sealed to the manufacturer’s spec and Florida Building Code. Trim and surrounding finishes go back the way they came out. Then Dale Kessler’s rule gets applied: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We check the sightline, the operation, and the seal before we leave, and every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right - no paperwork fights, no arguing.
How Much Does Custom & Geometric Windows Cost in West Palm Beach?
Custom and geometric window pricing in West Palm Beach varies mostly by the shape, the glazing package, and whether the unit needs impact-rated glass. A standard arched fixed window in a bedroom, non-impact, typically runs $900 to $1,800 installed, while a shaded trapezoid over an entry door will usually land between $700 and $1,500. Full custom geometric windows - octagons, half-rounds, unique angles with impact glazing - tend to fall in the $1,800 to $4,500 range depending on size and manufacturer. Oversized fixed picture windows with impact glass and structural mullion reinforcement can run from $3,000 to $9,000 or more for the largest openings, but those need a site measurement to quote accurately. These are honest ranges based on jobs we’ve completed in West Palm Beach, not internet averages.
What drives the price: the glazing package (laminated impact glass costs more than standard tempered), the frame material and finish, the size of the rough opening, the difficulty of access, and the condition of the existing framing. A shaped window going into a rotted rough opening costs more because we replace the framing - we won’t set a new unit into decay. How to avoid overpaying: get a line-item quote that separates the window cost from the installation cost, ask whether the warranty will be registered in writing before the crew leaves, and be wary of any price quoted over the phone without a site measurement. A shaped window quoted blind is a number, not a quote. Our estimates are free, they’re specific, and they don’t change once you sign. Call (561) 264-1279 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Custom & Geometric Windows in West Palm Beach
A custom or geometric window is a window built to a non-rectangular or non-stock opening - an arch, a trapezoid, an octagon, a circle, or any shape a standard catalog doesn’t offer. These windows are fabricated from field measurements and shop drawings rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. In West Palm Beach homes, they’re common in entryways, gables, sunrooms, and architectural detailing from the 1920s through today’s coastal contemporary builds.
Most shaped windows take four to eight weeks from final measurement to installation, depending on the manufacturer, the glazing package, and whether the unit requires Miami-Dade impact certification. Rush orders are sometimes available at higher cost. We provide the lead time in writing on your quote so you can plan around it. Call (561) 264-1279 and we’ll give you a realistic date before you commit to anything.

We’ll assess the situation, board the opening if necessary, and get the replacement glass on order with the right template and right glazing.

Every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing.

Clear a path to the window and move furniture or wall hangings at least eight feet back from the opening, inside and out. If the window is a second-story shaped unit, we’ll need ladder access and a clear landing zone in the yard. We handle floor protection, dust control, and cleanup. We’ll walk through the specifics on the phone when you call (561) 264-1279, and the install crew will review the plan with you on arrival.
