Six styles, each made to the size of your opening, with impact-rated options for South Florida homes.
A fixed top sash over a bottom sash that slides up. The classic, simple style for most rooms.
Two or three side-by-side panels that slide on a track. Removable panels make cleaning the tracks easier.
Side-hinged windows that open outward with a handle and close tight against a multi-point lock for security.
Hinged along the top and opened with a handle, with the screen on the inside. Pairs well with a fixed window.
A non-operating window with a large frame for light and wide views, sized to match nearby operating windows.
Arches, circles, ovals, half-rounds and trapezoids, used alone or paired with casement or awning windows for matching sightlines.
Canal-front houses, townhouses and condo units in larger buildings each put different demands on a Fort Lauderdale window, so each gets its own choice. Walls facing the water in Las Olas Isles or Harbor Beach take salt spray and open-water gusts. Condo units also need the association’s approval, and homes in the Sailboat Bend historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes.
That is why each window is chosen opening by opening. Every opening is measured, and each window is ordered in a size and rating covered by its Miami-Dade NOA. Then we file the city permit for you, so the approval is in place before installation day.

What South Florida homeowners say about working with our team.
The ES lines pair impact glass with coastal-grade parts: Multimax uses laminated glass by Tecnoglass, and Elite has heat-strengthened glass as standard. Fort Lauderdale gets about 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, by the city’s count, so a Low-E coating such as Solarban 70 helps cut the solar heat coming through.
Aluminum and vinyl (uPVC) frames are both available with impact ratings. Along the Intracoastal and the canals, compare the hardware as well as the frame: the ES Elite and Multimax aluminum lines come with corrosion-resistant hardware for coastal areas as standard. Aluminum frames can be anodized, painted or finished in wood grain to suit the house.
Historic homes need a closer look. Fort Lauderdale’s historic design guidelines say hurricane-resistant windows tend to have wide frames that do not match historic proportions and are not appropriate for historic buildings, and they point to shutters or fabric storm panels instead. In Sailboat Bend or Himmarshee, ask the city’s historic preservation staff before choosing any window.
USA Home Improvement exclusively sells ES Windows, in aluminum and vinyl. Your project manager matches the series to your building type, each wall’s exposure and your budget, then confirms its approval for the opening. Permits, the Notice of Commencement and HOA steps are covered on our Fort Lauderdale permit steps page. We handle the city permit on every window job.
Built for single-family homes and rated for large and small missile impact in South Florida’s hurricane zone. Heat-strengthened glass and corrosion-resistant hardware come standard, with frames for concrete or wood construction.
Developed for multi-family buildings, with laminated glass by Tecnoglass, clear or gray glass and coastal hardware as standard, and Solarban 70 Low-E glass for energy efficiency. Finishes come in white or bronze.
The premium line, with narrow sightlines, thermally broken aluminum, insulating glass and coastal hardware as standard. Two-tone finishes and custom colors are available for a custom look.
Vinyl frames for homeowners who want low maintenance, sound insulation and energy efficiency, with large-missile impact rating capabilities. Ask whether vinyl meets the rating each opening needs.
We install impact windows throughout Broward County from our Hallandale Beach office, including Fort Lauderdale and the cities around it, plus nearby Miami-Dade and Palm Beach county cities.
We install single-hung, horizontal roller, casement, awning, fixed picture and architectural shape impact windows, in aluminum or vinyl frames. Your project manager helps you pick a style for each opening, because a canal-facing living room and a small bathroom window rarely need the same window.
Not always. Fort Lauderdale’s window and door checklist calls for impact-resistant products unless the openings are shuttered, so approved shutters are an accepted alternative. Impact windows work without anyone putting panels up before a storm, which matters if you travel or cannot lift heavy panels.
ES Multimax was developed for multi-family buildings and comes with laminated glass by Tecnoglass and coastal hardware as standard, with Solarban 70 Low-E glass for energy efficiency. Your association may set the product, color and installation rules for the building, so share your board’s rules with us before we quote.
They can be. The ES uPVC line offers large-missile impact rating capabilities, low maintenance and sound insulation. Near salt water, compare the hardware as well as the frame, since the ES Elite and Multimax aluminum lines come with corrosion-resistant coastal hardware as standard.
No. Impact windows are tested against wind pressure and flying debris, not standing water. During Hurricane Irma in 2017, the National Hurricane Center measured 2 to 4 feet of inundation along coastal Broward, so low-lying and canal-front homes in Fort Lauderdale need a separate flood plan.
Yes. The estimate is free and there is no obligation. Financing may be available for qualified homeowners through independent third-party providers, and terms depend on the program and location. For a waterfront home in Las Olas Isles or Harbor Beach, ask us to quote coastal-hardware options side by side.
