New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

Mr-Glass Energy-Efficient Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We install and service Mr-Glass energy-efficient windows in Fort Lauderdale as an independent provider - not an authorized dealer - with written prices before any work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Most Mr-Glass energy-efficient replacements we handle in Broward County run from $420 to $1,180 per opening depending on series, glazing package, and whether the frame needs re-flashing. Turnaround from measured survey to installation is typically 10 to 14 business days for standard sizes, 18 to 24 days for custom geometries.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who already have Mr-Glass units in place and are seeing higher cooling bills, fogged glass, or frame fatigue - or who are comparing Mr-Glass against other lines for a replacement. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule your free measured survey. We’ll hand you the written price before any work starts.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Mr-Glass 300 Series fixed picture windows: seal failure and argon loss. The 300 Series uses a dual-seal warm-edge spacer that holds up well in dry climates but degrades faster in Fort Lauderdale’s salt-air corridor, especially in homes east of Federal Highway where the Intracoastal breeze carries chloride year-round. We see argon leakage rates of 40% or higher at the five-year mark in these units. Our fix: we test with a deflectometer to confirm seal breach, then replace with OEM-spec glass packs or, when lead times stretch, a validated aftermarket equivalent that matches the original U-factor of 0.30.
- Mr-Glass 500 Series single-hung windows: sash warp and weatherstrip compression set. The 500 Series vinyl formulation is rigid, which helps structural integrity but makes the sash susceptible to thermal bowing when south-facing units cycle between 72°F interior and 140°F surface temperatures in July. Compression-set weatherstrip then leaks conditioned air. We measure the sash diagonals to 1/16 inch, replace with dual-durometer bulb-and-fin weatherstrip rated for 200°F continuous exposure, and verify with a calibrated smoke pencil.
- Mr-Glass 700 Series Low-E coating degradation. The 700 Series uses a soft-coat Low-E on surface #2, which delivers excellent SHGC numbers (0.25 typical) but scratches if cleaned with abrasive pads - a common issue in Galt Mile condos where maintenance crews use standard protocols. We identify coating damage with a refractometer, source replacement glass with the identical pyrolitic coating stack, and document the condition with photos the customer keeps.
- Mr-Glass sliding glass door rollers and track: energy penalty from misalignment. When the roller assembly wears on Mr-Glass two-panel sliders, the sash drops and the weatherstrip no longer mates evenly. The owner feels a draft; the real problem is a 15% to 20% increase in air infiltration. We don’t just swap rollers - we level the track with a laser, verify the sightline gap at three points, then replace with stainless-steel roller sets rated for the door’s actual weight.
- Mr-Glass custom geometric units: silicone joint failure at mitered corners. Hexagons, trapezoids, and quarter-rounds in the Mr-Glass custom line rely on corner keys and silicone structural joints that shear under thermal expansion in Fort Lauderdale’s daily 20°F swings. We disassemble, clean the joint surfaces with MEK, re-bed with neutral-cure structural silicone rated for 50% movement, and clamp-cure for 24 hours before reinstalling.
Before
AfterOur Mr-Glass Energy-Efficient Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey you keep. Sonia Raman or a Haven-certified technician records every rough opening to 1/8 inch, notes exposure, existing frame condition, and any stucco or trim repair scope. You leave with the document.
- 2
Diagnostic glass testing. We test for argon retention, measure glass surface temperatures with an infrared gun, and check U-factor and SHGC against the original NFRC label when it’s still legible. If the label’s gone, we reference Mr-Glass’s published specifications from our files.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or validated equivalent. We quote OEM glass packs first. If Mr-Glass lead times exceed your tolerance or the series is discontinued, we present a validated aftermarket option with matching performance data - never a guess.
- 4
Written price before work starts. The measured survey and the quote are the same document. Haven Clause 1. No change orders unless you change the scope.
- 5
Installation and real-time documentation. Background-checked, uniformed technicians install with license numbers provided in advance. We photograph every phase: pre-condition, rough opening, sealed frame, and finished unit. You receive the photo record within 48 hours.
- 6
Post-install verification and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We verify operation, seal integrity, and sightline alignment before leaving. If anything’s not done right, we make it right - written into the Haven Standard, not a verbal assurance.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale for Mr-Glass Work
We’ve measured, ordered, and installed windows across South Florida since 2012, including a stretch of impact-rated sliding door replacements along the Intracoastal Waterway corridor near Las Olas where salt air taught us exactly how much punishment a poorly sealed frame takes. That experience carries over to every Mr-Glass job we touch.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. The price you get in writing is the price on the invoice - Haven Clause 1. And if Mr-Glass lead times or specifications don’t fit your opening, we draw from seven additional verified manufacturer lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. We specify by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock.
Every job leaves a documented photo record. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7.
FAQs
Mr-Glass’s original product warranty covers manufacturing defects and typically requires that glass pack replacements use OEM-spec components; our work does not void the glass warranty if we source OEM or validated-equivalent parts, though we always recommend reviewing your specific warranty terms. We document every part number and specification so you have the paper trail if a claim arises. Call (754) 666-7478 and we’ll review your warranty language at no charge during the estimate.
Properly installed Mr-Glass energy-efficient units with argon fills typically maintain performance for 12 to 18 years in Fort Lauderdale, but we’ve seen seal failures as early as year four in beachfront exposures east of A1A where salt and UV load is extreme. The 500 Series vinyl frames hold structural integrity longer but the weatherstrip needs inspection at year eight. We include a schedule recommendation with every written quote.
We repair when the frame is square, the glazing pocket is intact, and replacement glass or hardware is available; we recommend full replacement when the frame has settled out of plumb, the weep system is compromised, or the series has been discontinued and parts are no longer procurable. Our measured survey includes a repair-versus-replace recommendation with both prices in writing. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule.
OEM glass packs from Mr-Glass typically ship in 7 to 12 business days for standard sizes; custom geometries run 18 to 28 days. When lead times don’t fit your schedule, we stock validated aftermarket equivalents for common 300 and 500 Series configurations that match OEM U-factor and SHGC performance. We tell you both options and both prices before you decide.
Check whether the fog is between the glass panes (seal failure, requires glass replacement) or on the interior surface (humidity control issue, may not need glazing work). If it’s between the panes, note the series number from the sash label or the corner of the frame - it speeds our parts lookup. Call (754) 666-7478 for a free measured survey and written price; estimates are free.
