Windows play an important role in the function and aesthetic of your property. They allow you to view the outdoors, let in natural light and fresh air, and enhance your home’s curb appeal.
When it comes to choosing a reliable window installation company, look for a local provider with years—ideally decades—of experience servicing Florida homes. This will ensure they have a deep understanding of our unique climate and homeowner needs.
Single-Hung Windows
Having top-tier windows and doors installed in your home is one of the best investments you can make. They’ll increase your comfort and reduce energy costs, while ensuring your family’s safety and security.
Single-hung windows have a simple design, featuring one fixed and one movable sash. This simplicity helps them to be more affordable than double-hung options. They also allow for more air flow while being easier to clean and maintain.
Wright’s Impact Window & Door offers single-hung windows that are Miami-Dade rated and designed to resist straight-line winds, storms and hurricanes. These impact windows will protect your family, assets and belongings from dangerous wind-borne debris while adding a stylish, sophisticated look to your home or commercial property. These windows are also eligible for PACE financing.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are designed to complement both contemporary and traditional architecture with sleek functionality. These window types offer a minimalist aesthetic and expansive views, enhancing the beauty of any living space. They allow one or both sashes to open, which maximizes ventilation and helps regulate indoor temperatures.
Due to their simple design, slider windows are typically less maintenance-intensive than other types of replacement windows. They do not contain any hinges or cranks, making them easier to clean and maintain.
Additionally, they are a great option for hard-to-reach spaces that can’t accommodate other window types like double-hung. However, they can be more prone to water pooling in the sill. It is important to install proper drainage holes to avoid water damage over time.
Picture Windows
Picture windows offer a captivating glimpse into the world outside your home. They frame picturesque landscapes or bustling cityscapes, or showcase your own lush backyard oasis. These large fixed windows are a perfect complement to any architectural style, but are especially attractive in homes with a more traditional or rustic aesthetic.
Because they do not open, picture windows are highly energy efficient. They reduce air leaks and improve insulation, keeping your indoor temperature stable throughout the year. Choose argon gas-filled frames to further enhance your windows’ energy efficiency and reduce your home’s utility costs.
Clean your new picture windows regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Maintaining the seals and frames of your new windows prevents air leaks and ensures optimal performance in Miami’s diverse climate.
Bay & Bow Windows
Typically three or more windows angled to create additional space within the home, bay and bow windows are great for a cozy reading nook or an extension of a window seat. They also offer a more expansive view of the outside landscape and can enhance your Miami home’s aesthetic with an architectural flair.
Unlike traditional double-hung windows, which require a space for their horizontal swing, bay and bow windows can be opened to allow in a breeze and improve ventilation. You can further upgrade the performance of these windows by choosing energy-efficient options like low-E coatings and argon gas fills.
Both types of windows are available in a variety of materials, including durable fiberglass and vinyl. These materials are resistant to rot, rust, and mold, and they provide superior insulation that reduces your energy costs while enhancing your comfort.
Impact-Resistant Glass
Many South Florida homeowners prefer impact windows because they provide a level of protection against the winds and debris that come with hurricanes. These windows have a laminated interior glass that keeps the shards of broken glass together in a strong binding material such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB). They also include Low-E coatings and argon gas fills, which improve energy efficiency.
The impact-resistant glazing in these windows has been tested to ensure it meets Miami-Dade County and Florida product approval requirements, including Small Missile Impact Testing and Cyclic Pressure Testing. They can resist up to a Category 5 hurricane. In addition to protecting against hurricanes, they can also deter break-ins and reduce external noise. CM Glass offers both sleek aluminum horizontal roller and insulated impact windows that are designed to meet the highest standards of style, function and durability.
