The Brands We Trust for Florida Installs
Choosing the right impact window manufacturer in Fort Lauderdale is one of the most consequential decisions in a window replacement project — because not all impact windows are created equal, and the manufacturer behind the product determines the quality of materials, engineering, warranty support, and long-term parts availability. At Planet Construction FL, we install all major impact window and door brands, and we bring manufacturer-neutral expertise to every product selection conversation. Our goal is always to match the right manufacturer's product to each project's specific performance requirements, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Most Window Failures Are Brand and Install Failures
The Planet Construction Approach
The window market is full of cheap impact products that meet the bare minimum code but fail early in Florida conditions. Hardware corrodes, frames warp, seals fail, and warranty claims become a nightmare. Choosing the wrong brand — or the wrong installer — means paying for the same job twice.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Call us for project-specific information and a free consultation.
Call (754) 301-6747How do I choose between impact window manufacturers?
The right manufacturer depends on your project's specific requirements — design pressure zone, window types needed, aesthetic preferences, budget, and warranty priorities. For standard residential replacement in Fort Lauderdale, PGT WinGuard aluminum provides the best combination of quality, availability, and value. For premium construction and high-rise applications, CGI is the preferred specification. For budget-sensitive projects, ES Windows provides code-compliant performance at competitive pricing. We discuss manufacturer options in the context of each specific project during the product selection conversation.
Does it matter which manufacturer's windows I choose for insurance purposes?
What matters for insurance wind mitigation credits is that the installed windows and doors are impact-rated and have valid Florida NOA documentation — not specifically which manufacturer produced them. All major manufacturers' products we install carry Florida approvals, and the installation documentation we provide — including NOAs, permit completion records, and installation photos — is the same format required for wind mitigation credit applications regardless of manufacturer.
How do manufacturer warranties compare?
Major impact window manufacturers provide limited lifetime warranties on the frame and glass components covering manufacturing defects. Hardware components typically carry 5–10 year warranties. Warranty terms vary in the specifics of what is covered, the claims process, and the transferability to subsequent homeowners — a consideration for resale. We review warranty terms for the specific products under consideration during the product selection process and can provide written warranty documentation for each manufacturer's products.
Are there Fort Lauderdale-made impact windows?
PGT manufactures impact windows in Venice, Florida — a Florida-based company serving the Florida market. Several other impact window manufacturers have Florida manufacturing or fabrication facilities. Purchasing from Florida-based manufacturers supports local manufacturing and typically provides shorter lead times and better parts availability than manufacturers who fabricate products out of state for the Florida market.
