CWS Custom & Geometric Windows in Delray Beach: What to Know First
CWS custom and geometric windows in Delray Beach are repaired and replaced by TruePane Windows & Doors as an independent CWS service provider, not a factory affiliate. Most CWS owners call us for arched, radius, and oversized openings that big-box installers won’t touch, and we typically complete a custom CWS repair or replacement in one visit after measuring twice and ordering the correct unit. Pricing runs honest and itemized, with a free estimate before any work begins, because a curved window should not come with a curved bill.
This page is for the homeowner in Delray Beach who owns a CWS window that no longer closes square, fogs between the panes, or leaks in a corner no one can reach. You’ll find what actually fails on these units, what it costs to make them right, and how we handle the job from first call to final wipe-down. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule a free estimate.
How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Radius sash warping on older CWS 5500 Series architectural units. The laminated glass in a curved CWS sash holds its shape, but the aluminum cladding around it does not. After ten-plus years of South Florida sun, that cladding expands and contracts at a different rate than the laminated core, and the sash begins to bind at the apex. We see this constantly in the Lake Ida and Seagate neighborhoods. The fix is a sash rebuild, not a full window replacement, using a factory-spec aluminum profile and the original glass where it’s still sound.
- Failed argon seals on CWS 8080 Series picture windows with radius tops. Delray Beach humidity finds the smallest breach in a seal and turns a curved picture window into fogged glass within a season. The telltale sign is condensation you can’t wipe off, because it sits between the lites. We don’t patch failed seals; we replace the insulated glass unit and register the new IGU warranty in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
- Geometric corner weld failures on trapezoid and pentagon CWS units. Welded corners on shaped windows take enormous stress where the frame angles turn. When a corner weld splits, the window loses its structural grip and the operable sash drifts. We reinspect every corner joint during our estimate, because a split corner is repairable early and a full frame replacement later.
- Improperly flashed CWS custom windows in second-floor Delray Beach openings. We have repaired more water damage above CWS geometric windows than any other failure, and the cause is almost never the window itself. It’s the flashing installed around it during original construction or a past remodel. Our techs pull the interior trim, locate the real leak path, and reflash so the window sheds water the way the manufacturer intended.
- Obsolete CWS hardware on casement geometric windows. CWS locking hardware on specialty-shaped casements from the early 2000s is often no longer in production. We source original CWS hardware first, and when it’s gone, we use a machined aftermarket equivalent that matches the existing mounting points. We will tell you which one we used, and why, and put it in writing.
Our CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Process
Here’s how a CWS job goes when you call TruePane Windows & Doors in Delray Beach:
- 1
We answer the phone. A live person, 24/7, takes the details on your CWS window and schedules the estimate.
- 2
A background-checked technician comes out and measures the opening twice, including the radius and apex points on curved units. We read the rough opening before we quote anything.
- 3
We decide OEM vs. quality aftermarket with you in the room. If a CWS original part is available, we use it. If it’s not, we show you the aftermarket equivalent and explain the difference, in writing, before any order is placed.
- 4
We install or repair, with every warranty layer registered and every duration stated before we leave that driveway. No fine print that covers neither.
- 5
We test the unit, clean the glass, and walk you through what was done. You should understand the work as well as we do.
- 6
We stand behind it. The Done Right Promise is on every CWS job we do. If it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.
What CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Delray Beach
Custom CWS work does not have one price. Here are the honest ranges we see across Delray Beach:
- CWS sash rebuild on a radius-top window (single unit): $350 to $750, depending on the aluminum profile and glass condition.
- Insulated glass unit replacement for a CWS curved picture window: $425 to $1,100, driven by the radius and whether the glass is tempered or laminated.
- Full replacement of a CWS geometric window (trapezoid, pentagon, arch): $1,200 to $4,800, depending on impact rating, frame material, and opening size.
- Corner weld repair on a CWS shaped window: $180 to $450 per corner, including refinishing.
What moves the price: the window’s radius, whether it’s impact-rated, second-floor access, and whether we’re matching existing finishes. You’ll get a written line-item quote before we order anything. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate. No surprise line items on the bill, ever.
Why Delray Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work
We’ve served Delray Beach and the surrounding communities since 2008, founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler out of a simple frustration: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. Our techs know CWS frames the way a mechanic knows engine blocks, and when a CWS job turns out to be a full replacement that calls for another line, we quote PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. We’ll be there when we say. Done right is the baseline, not the goal.
FAQs
If a CWS window is still under its manufacturer warranty, we do everything possible to preserve it, including sourcing factory-authorized parts and following OEM service procedures. If the warranty has lapsed or the part is obsolete, we tell you plainly and provide a quality aftermarket alternative, with every detail in writing.
If the frame is sound and the glass is intact, a repair is usually the smarter money. If the corner welds have split, the frame is rot-compromised, or the old unit is no longer code-compliant for impact zones, we tell you to replace. We show you the evidence and let you decide.
Some are, some aren’t. CWS still supports many of its lines, but hardware from early-2000s geometric windows is often discontinued. We source original parts first and use a machined aftermarket match when the originals are gone. You’ll know which one before we order it.
Most CWS repairs are completed in a single visit. Full custom replacements, especially curved or impact-rated units, take longer because the unit is made to order, measured to the precise rough opening, and installed when it arrives. We’ll give you a written timeline at your estimate, and we stick to it.
Repairs typically run $180 to $1,100 depending on the failure, and full custom replacements run $1,200 to $4,800 depending on size, shape, and impact rating. Call (561) 940-2917 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule your free estimate, and if it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee; it is a conversation. We put everything on paper before we take a dollar.
