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.

ECO Window Systems Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
As an independent ECO Window Systems service provider in Fort Lauderdale, we measure, order, and install custom and geometric windows from ECO’s product lines with turnaround typically running 4-6 weeks for specialty shapes once the measured survey is signed. Our written quote is the final price - Haven Clause 1 - and every custom ECO unit ships with a documented photo record of the opening before we leave.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who already have ECO Window Systems products and need arched, curved, geometric, or oversized custom replacements, or who are specifying ECO for a new custom opening. If you’re comparing brands, we also work with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows - specified by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule your free measured survey.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- ECO 8100 Series fixed geometric windows: The thermal break in the aluminum frame separates at the weld corners after repeated expansion cycles in Fort Lauderdale’s high-humidity, high-UV environment. We see this most in south-facing geometric shapes where the dark anodized finish absorbs maximum heat. Our fix: we order replacement sashes with reinforced corner keys and specify a lighter finish or Kynar coating on the replacement to reduce thermal cycling stress.
- ECO 8200 Series impact-rated custom shapes: The laminated glass delaminates at the edges of curved or arched units, visible as a milky haze that starts at the sightline and creeps inward. This is almost always a seal failure accelerated by salt air intrusion at the glazing bead. We replace with OEM ECO laminated glass and upgrade to a dual-seal silicone/polyurethane glazing system, which we first specified for Intracoastal Waterway corridor jobs where salt exposure is constant.
- ECO 7500 Series oversized custom openings: The structural silicone between glass and frame degrades prematurely in units over 72 inches on any side, causing the lite to shift visibly in the frame during wind load. We document this with deflection measurements before removal, then reinstall with a backer rod and two-stage sealant system that exceeds the original specification.
- ECO geometric window hardware (multi-point locks on arched casements): The curved track wears unevenly because standard ECO hardware is designed for rectilinear operation; the cam throws bind at the radius points after 3-5 years. We machine custom strike plates or source upgraded stainless steel hardware from our ES Windows and CGI parts interchange where the geometry allows, documenting the modification for warranty continuity.
- ECO custom window weep systems: The factory weep slots in geometric bottom rails clog with Fort Lauderdale’s fine coral dust and organic debris, trapping water that roils the sill pan and breeds frame corrosion from the inside out. We clear the drainage path, install insect-resistant weep covers with larger free area, and slope the sill pan toward the exterior per Florida Building Code R612.6 - a detail ECO’s standard installation manual doesn’t emphasize for coastal applications.
Before
AfterOur ECO Window Systems Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. We arrive with a laser measure, digital level, and moisture meter. Sonia Raman checks every rough opening twice - “measure it right the first time or measure it twice on someone else’s dime” - and the customer keeps the dimensioned sketch. For geometric shapes, we template curved or arched openings with a flexible spline, not a tape measure alone.
- 2
Written scope and price. The quote specifies the ECO series, glass package, finish, and hardware. No line item changes without a signed amendment. This is Haven Clause 1: the measurement and the quote are the same document.
- 3
Parts decision. We default to OEM ECO components for warranty coverage. Where ECO lead times exceed 8 weeks or the part is obsolete, we source verified aftermarket equivalents from our multi-brand inventory - PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows - and document the substitution with engineering correspondence.
- 4
Installation with evidence. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with license numbers confirmed in advance per Haven Clause 3. We photograph the opening pre-work, the rough framing condition, the installed unit, and the sealant application. The customer receives the photo record within 24 hours.
- 5
Testing and sign-off. Every impact-rated custom unit gets a field operability test: sash movement, lock engagement, weep drainage verification with controlled water application. The customer signs the completion document; we file the warranty registration.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise. If the unit doesn’t perform as specified, we return and correct it. The promise is written into the Haven Standard, not offered as a courtesy.

What moves the price: shape complexity (true radius vs. segmented arch), impact rating requirement, glass package (Low-E, tinted, or clear), finish type (standard paint, Kynar, or anodized), and whether the existing frame can be retained or requires full removal. We do not quote from photos; every custom ECO unit requires the measured survey we keep on file. Call (754) 666-7478 to schedule yours - estimates are free, and we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Fort Lauderdale for ECO Window Systems Work
We’ve installed and serviced ECO Window Systems products in Fort Lauderdale since 2012, including a concentrated run of impact-rated geometric replacements in the Las Olas Isles and Coral Ridge areas where salt air and strict HOA design guidelines intersect. Our technicians carry ECO, PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows parts on most service calls - if ECO’s lead time doesn’t match your schedule, we can specify an equivalent performer from another verified line without starting the research over.
Every job leaves a documented photo record. Every quote is written and fixed. Every crew member is background-checked and uniformed with license number provided before arrival. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every custom ECO installation we complete. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it - we’ll review it at no charge.
FAQs
No - as an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, we use OEM parts and document every installation per manufacturer requirements, which preserves warranty coverage on the product itself. Our labor carries its own 365-Day Done Right Promise under the Haven Standard. Call (754) 666-7478 if you need warranty documentation for a previous install.
Standard custom shapes from ECO’s 8100 and 8200 series typically ship in 4-6 weeks from order; true radius or oversized 7500 series units can run 8-10 weeks depending on glass tempering and lamination schedules. We don’t quote delivery dates we can’t verify - the written scope includes the lead time we were quoted at order. For faster turnaround, we may specify an equivalent geometric unit from PGT or CGI if the opening allows. Call (754) 666-7478 to discuss timing on your specific shape.
We repair when the frame is structurally sound and the failure is isolated to glass, hardware, or sealant - roughly 40% of the ECO geometric calls we see in Fort Lauderdale. Full replacement is necessary when the thermal break has failed structurally, the frame is corroded from the inside out, or the custom shape requires updated impact certification under current Florida Building Code. We diagnose on the measured survey and tell you which path applies before any work is authorized. Call (754) 666-7478 for an exact assessment - estimates are free.
Yes - any replacement that changes the opening size, operability type, or impact rating requires a permit under Broward County amendments to the Florida Building Code. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and pass them before final payment. The permit number and inspection results are included in your job documentation. This is standard, not an upsell. Call (754) 666-7478 and we’ll confirm permit requirements for your specific project.
ECO has obsoleted several geometric profiles from the pre-2018 catalog, particularly segmented-arch and Gothic-top configurations. When this happens, we template the existing opening and specify the closest current ECO equivalent, or cross-reference to PGT, CGI, or ES Windows geometric lines that match the sightline and performance requirements. We document the substitution with dimensional drawings for your HOA or historical review board if needed. Call (754) 666-7478 - we keep discontinued ECO geometry records back to 2012.
