Product Overview - Double Hung Windows

Double hung windows are the traditional choice for Florida homes where the architecture calls for vertical lines and a familiar look. Both the upper and lower sash glide vertically, and each tilts inward so you can clean the exterior glass from inside your home. That’s a real advantage in Greenacres, where pollen, afternoon rain, and the occasional dust kick-up mean your windows need regular attention.

The impact series we install pairs this classic profile with laminated impact glass, which uses a PVB interlayer to hold the glass together and in the frame if something strikes it. You get the traditional aesthetic without the old weakness. Around Greenacres, we see these specified often on ranch homes, two-story colonials, and renovated mid-century properties where a sliding window would look out of place but the owner still wants HVHZ-rated protection. The frame materials we work with include aluminum and vinyl, so you’re choosing between a slimmer sightline and a thermally efficient profile depending on your priorities.

TruePane Windows & Doors treats every double hung opening as part of a structural system. The window only performs as well as its installation, and we set every unit according to AAMA 2400/2410 practice here in Greenacres. Call our team at (754) 339-0784 and we’ll walk you through exactly what fits your home and your wind zone.

Hurricane & Compliance Performance

Laminated Impact Glass - The laminated glass in our double hung units carries a PVB interlayer that keeps the pane intact and in the frame if impacted. When a storm throws debris at your Greenacres windows, the glass may crack, but it won’t shatter into your living room. That’s the core protection difference between impact-rated and standard glazing.

Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval - Each configuration we quote carries its own Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval numbers. These aren’t generic badges, they’re issued per specific size, frame, and glass combination. We verify the numbers on your exact quote before anything gets ordered.

FBC/HVHZ Compliance - TruePane Windows & Doors specifies double hung configurations engineered to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That’s the standard governing Palm Beach County construction, and it goes substantially further than what inland states require.

TAS 201 / TAS 202 / TAS 203 Testing Context - HVHZ-rated products are evaluated under the TAS protocol family: TAS 201 covers large-missile impact, TAS 202 covers cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 covers forced-entry resistance. When a configuration carries a Miami-Dade NOA, it has been tested against these provisions.

Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone - We match the design pressure of every double hung unit to the wind zone where it will be installed, up to +/-100 and never higher. Over-specifying doesn’t make a window safer, it just makes it more expensive. Your quote reflects what your Greenacres location actually requires.

Energy Performance Options - Low-E insulated glass is available on our double hung impact windows when you want to combine impact protection with better thermal performance. Tinted and clear options give you control over light transmission and privacy without changing the frame profile.

Color & Glass Options

The finish you choose for your double hung windows shapes how the whole facade reads from the street. White and almond stay classic and bright, which works well on many Greenacres ranches and contemporary builds. Bronze and black create stronger contrast and read more modern, and they’re a sharp choice for Mediterranean or Spanish-influenced architecture. Tan is the quiet option when you want the frame to disappear against stucco or beige exterior walls.

Glass selection follows a different logic. Laminated impact glass with the PVB interlayer is the hurricane-protection baseline, and it’s what makes your double hung windows code-compliant in HVHZ territory. Low-E insulated glass layers in thermal performance and helps keep your cooling costs from climbing during Greenacres summers. Tinted glass reduces glare on western exposures. Clear glass maximizes natural light without color shift. Screens are available as half screen or full screen depending on how much of the opening you want open at once.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Greenacres

An impact window with a valid Miami-Dade NOA only performs when it’s installed correctly, and in Greenacres that’s a genuine craft issue. We start every double hung project with a pre-install inspection: opening dimensions, existing frame condition, squareness, water intrusion history. If the rough opening is out of plane, a new window won’t fix it, and we’ll tell you before we touch anything.

Our crew sets each unit level, plumb, and square. We shim precisely, fasten on the schedule the product requires, and seal the perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. The installation practice follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards. After the window is set, we perform a final water test on the opening to catch any infiltration issue before trim goes back up. Cleanup is included, and we leave the opening clean enough for your paint or drywall crew to work around.

For Greenacres specifically, we account for coastal exposure, the local wind zone, and what the Palm Beach County permitting office will ask for. HVHZ jurisdictions want the NOA number, the Florida Product Approval number, and an installation record to match. We make sure your paperwork lines up with what’s physically installed on your home, so the next inspection doesn’t turn into a phone call. Improper installation compromises the entire NOA-rated system, which is exactly why we don’t cut corners on the structural work.

Frequently Asked Questions - Double Hung Windows

What wind zone or design pressure is the Double Hung Windows rated for? We match design pressure to your Greenacres wind zone, up to +/-100, never higher. Your quote will specify the exact DP rating for your configuration once we know the opening size and location.

What is the lead time on double hung impact windows? Lead time depends on the line you select, the size and glass configuration, and the manufacturer’s current production queue. We’ll give you a real delivery window when you place the order, and we schedule installation around it. Call (754) 339-0784 for current estimates on the line you like.

Does my permit require a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval submittal? Yes, for Greenacres homes in HVHZ territory, the permit submittal typically requires the Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval numbers for the exact configuration being installed. We provide both on your quote, matched to what’s physically ordered.

Can I customize the size or configuration? Double hung impact windows are built to your opening dimensions within the manufacturer’s approved size ranges for that configuration. We measure, verify what sizes carry NOA approval, and quote exactly what fits and passes. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll measure your openings free.

How do I maintain the frame and sashes? The tilt-in sashes make glass cleaning simple from indoors, and the frames only need periodic washing with mild soap and water. Keep the tracks clear of sand and debris if you’re near the coast. Beyond that, annual inspections during hurricane season are the best habit.
