Therma-Tru Custom & Geometric Windows in Palm Beach: What to Know First
Custom and geometric Therma-Tru windows in Palm Beach typically run $1,400 to $4,800 per opening depending on shape, size, and glass package, with most installations completed in one to three days once the unit arrives. We’re an independent Therma-Tru service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we quote the work honestly and stand behind it with our own warranty, not someone else’s script. If you own a Therma-Tru unit with an arch, a radius, or an unusual shape and it’s fogged, binding, or leaking, this page tells you what’s actually going on and what it costs to make it right. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate.
Key Takeaways:
- Therma-Tru custom and geometric shapes come with longer lead times and tighter tolerance requirements than standard rectangular units
- Most failures we see are seal, sash alignment, or weatherstripping issues, not structural glass failure
- We register both warranty layers in writing and back every job with our Done Right Promise
- Palm Beach salt air and hurricane code requirements change what replacement options make sense
- Call (850) 801-5596, a live person answers, 24/7
How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Therma-Tru built its name on entry doors, but their window lines show up in hundreds of Palm Beach homes, often in arched transoms, radius-top units, and half-rounds over front entries. Here’s what we actually find when we open one up:
- Fogged glass in arched units: Therma-Tru’s Classic-Craft and Slim-Line series use insulated glass units that eventually lose their seal, especially in shapes where the spacer bar has to follow a curve. When the seal fails on a radius IG, condensation gathers at the lowest point of the arc. We reglaze with a new custom-shaped IG cut to the same radius, and we register the replacement glass warranty in writing before we leave the driveway.
- Binding sashes on geometric frames: A tall geometric unit (think octagon or trapezoid) puts stress on the hinge side if the original rough opening settled even an eighth of an inch. Palm Beach’s sandy soil shifts, and we see frames out of square on houses as young as fifteen years. We reset or shim the frame true, re-hang the sash, and adjust the hardware so the unit opens and closes with one hand.
- Weatherstripping gaps at the apex of radius tops: The curved weatherstripping on Therma-Tru arch windows wears at the crown first, where the sash compresses the seal hardest against the frame. We replace the full sweep with OEM-spec material and test the seal with a smoke pencil so you can see there’s no daylight left, not just hear us say it.
- Leaking around custom picture window flanges: On Therma-Tru fixed geometric windows installed without proper flashing, the corners of the nail flange are the weak point. We’ve pulled trim off geometric windows in West Palm and found nothing but caulk holding back twenty years of driving rain. We remove, reflash with modern tape, and reset the flange so water sheds the way it should.
- Failed balance systems on operable geometric units: Some Therma-Tru double-hung and casement lines used coiled balance springs that lose tension over time, particularly in the salty air near the Intracoastal. A window that slams shut or won’t stay open is a balance issue, not a frame issue. We replace the balance with the correct poundage-rated spring, not a generic guess from a parts bin.
Dale Kessler grew up in El Cid, west of the Intracoastal, where his father spent weekends repairing jalousie windows on forty-year-old Florida houses. He’s been measuring and setting windows across Palm Beach County long enough to know that most “window failure” is really an installation or parts problem with a specific cause. If the frame is right and the glass is rated, the rest is just following through.
Our Therma-Tru Custom & Geometric Windows Process
When you call us about a Therma-Tru geometric window, here’s how the job goes:
- 1
The call: You reach a live person, any hour. We ask about the shape, the symptom, and how long it’s been happening. We schedule a time that works for you.
- 2
The measure: A background-checked, uniformed technician measures every opening twice, including the radius, the diagonals, and the depth of the frame pocket. Twice, every time, because geometric units don’t forgive a sloppy measurement.
- 3
The parts decision: We show you OEM Therma-Tru parts and quality aftermarket alternatives side by side, on paper, with prices. You see exactly what you’re paying for and what warranty each option carries.
- 4
The work: We remove the old unit or weatherstripping, prep the opening, set the new or repaired unit square and true, and flash it to Palm Beach code. Every opening gets insulated and sealed the way a man would do it in his own mother’s house.
- 5
The test: We operate the window, check the seal with a smoke test, verify the locks engage cleanly, and walk you through what we did. You sign off only after you’ve put your own hands on the window.
- 6
The paperwork: Before we leave, both warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated. No fine print, no “you’ll get it in the mail,” no arguing later.
Most single-window jobs are done in one visit. Custom-shaped replacement units get ordered, then installed when they arrive, with a clear timeline on paper before we start.
What Therma-Tru Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Palm Beach
Pricing depends on the shape, the glass package, and whether we’re repairing or replacing. Here are real ranges for the work we do most often:
- Reseal fogged arched or radius IG unit: $425 to $950, depending on size and whether the sash requires deglazing or a full new IG unit
- Replace weatherstripping on a geometric unit (arched or angled): $180 to $420, materials and labor included
- Reflash and reset a leaking fixed geometric window: $600 to $1,400, depending on access and cladding removal required
- Replace a custom shaped Therma-Tru unit (half-round, octagon, trapezoid): $1,400 to $4,800 per opening, installed, including new flashing and interior trim where needed
- Impact-rated geometric replacement (Palm Beach code, hurricane zone): $2,200 to $5,500 per opening, depending on the shape’s wind-load requirements and glass package
What moves the price: whether the existing frame is salvageable, access (second-story arches over entryways cost more to reach safely), and whether the shape is a standard radius or a true custom cut. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, and the price on that quote is the price on the invoice. No change orders, no surprise line items. Call (850) 801-5596 for an exact quote on your opening. Estimates are free.

FAQs
Yes, custom-shaped replacement units are cut to the exact radius, angle, and dimensions of your existing opening, measured twice by a technician on site before any order is placed. The new IG unit or full sash is manufactured to those measurements, not pulled from a shelf. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll walk you through what your specific shape requires, free estimate included.
No, our repairs use OEM-spec parts and materials chosen to preserve the original warranty, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. As an independent Therma-Tru service provider, we don’t answer to the factory, but we do the work in a way that keeps your coverage intact. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate and we’ll explain what your specific window qualifies for.
If the frame is square and the sash is in good shape, resealing or reglazing the IG unit typically costs $425 to $950, which is substantially less than a full replacement at $1,400 to $4,800. Replacement makes sense when the frame has rot, the sash is binding beyond adjustment, or the unit doesn’t meet current Palm Beach impact code. We’ll measure, test, and show you the numbers for both options before you decide. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule a free assessment.
Most custom-shaped replacement units take two to four weeks from measurement to installation, depending on the complexity of the shape and the glass package. Repairs like weatherstripping, rebalancing, and resealing are usually done in a single visit. We’ll give you a written timeline before any work starts, and we’ll be there when we say. Call (850) 801-5596 and a live person will give you straight answers.
Yes, when a permit is required, we pull it, and we’re on site for the inspection. Palm Beach building code has specific requirements for impact-rated glazing in wind-borne debris zones, and we don’t cut corners on code. We’ll tell you upfront whether your job requires a permit and factor it into the written quote. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate that includes the full scope of work.
