AfterDouble Hung Windows in Wellington, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
Double hung windows give you two moveable sashes instead of one, so you can open the top for ventilation, the bottom for airflow, or both at once. In Wellington, that matters when the afternoon heat builds and you want cross-breeze without running the AC nonstop. Ours are impact-rated with laminated glass, built for Florida’s wind zones, and installed by TruePane Windows & Doors crews who’ve worked Wellington neighborhoods for years. We handle the permit paperwork, the measurements, and the installation so the finished window performs exactly as its Miami-Dade NOA rating says it will. Call (561) 349-4826 to talk about your project.
Product Overview - Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are the most traditional window profile you can put in a Florida home, and that’s precisely why Wellington homeowners keep choosing them. They read as classic from the street, fit the architectural language of nearly every subdivision from Olympia to Palm Beach Polo, and still deliver the impact protection a hurricane-prone region demands. Both the top and bottom sashes tilt inward for cleaning, which means no ladders to wash second-story glass from the outside. The vertical-glide operation uses counterbalanced sashes that stay put when you open them, so a gust doesn’t slam them shut.
What makes this product work in South Florida isn’t one thing; it’s how the parts come together. The laminated impact glass carries a PVB interlayer that holds the pane in the frame under impact, preventing the kind of breach that lets wind pressure enter a home and lift the roof. The frames are available in aluminum or vinyl, each with its own strengths: aluminum for narrower sightlines and long spans, vinyl for thermal performance and low maintenance. Both are factory-assembled around the glazing so the impact rating is engineered into the unit, not added on site. TruePane Windows & Doors installs these across our PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO, and Mr-Glass lines, and we’ll help you match the right configuration to your Wellington home’s exposure and window openings.

Hurricane & Compliance Performance
Laminated Impact Glass
Two panes of glass bonded to a PVB interlayer. If something hits the window, the glass cracks but stays in the frame, keeping wind and water out of the house. That barrier is what protects your roof from internal pressurization during a storm.
Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval
Each configuration carries a Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval number issued per specific size, glass, and frame combination. We verify the approval on your specific quote before ordering. If a size isn’t approved, we tell you upfront.
FBC / HVHZ Compliance
Engineered to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That’s the stricter coastal standard, not the inland wind load path. Wellington falls under HVHZ for building permits, so this matters for every opening we quote.
TAS 201 / 202 / 203 Testing Context
HVHZ-rated products undergo the TAS protocol family: TAS 201 for large-missile impact, TAS 202 for cyclic wind-pressure loading, TAS 203 for forced-entry resistance. That’s the testing framework behind the approval numbers, not marketing language.
Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone
We match design pressure to your specific wind zone, up to +/-100, and never higher. Over-specifying costs money without adding protection. Under-specifying fails the permit. We do the math per opening based on your Wellington address.
Energy Performance
Low-E and insulated glass options are available for the laminated impact units, which helps with solar heat gain on west-facing Wellington elevations. Tinted glass remains an option for glare control on rooms with heavy afternoon sun.
Color & Glass Options
Wellington’s housing stock runs from Mediterranean revival to British West Indies to clean contemporary, and the finish options cover that range. White and almond carry the traditional Florida look, bronze and black suit modern and estate-style homes, and tan blends into earth-toned stucco facades. Bronze is particularly popular in Equestrian Club and Palm Beach Point where darker trim defines the architecture. Aluminum frames can be anodized or painted; vinyl frames are solid-color through the extrusion so scratches don’t expose a different tone.
On glass, the base spec is laminated impact glass with clear panes, which gives you the closest thing to unobstructed daylight. Low-E insulated glass adds thermal performance and is worth considering for large west-facing window walls. Tinted glass cuts glare without heavy window treatments, which works well in media rooms, home offices, and any room where screens face the window. The laminated impact interlayer stays in every option. It’s not optional; it’s the storm barrier.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Wellington
An impact window only performs as well as the rough opening it sits in. We’ve pulled old windows out of Wellington houses where the original installers shimmed the frame crooked and filled gaps with whatever caulk was in the truck. That’s exactly how a NOA-rated product fails. Our installation practice follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards, and we set every window level, plumb, and square before fastening. The perimeter gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which seals the gap without bowing the frame. Then we finish the exterior with trim and the interior with clean lines.
We also know Wellington’s permitting culture. This is an HVHZ jurisdiction, so your building department expects a proper product approval submittal with the permit application. We handle that paperwork and coordinate inspections. Before we finish, we water-test the installation and walk the interior with you to confirm every opening operates smoothly. The goal is a window that opens like furniture and seals like a vault.
Frequently Asked Questions - Double Hung Windows
The design pressure is matched to your Wellington wind zone, up to +/-100, and never higher than the required structural load. Your specific rating depends on the window size, frame material, and glass package. We calculate that per opening when we quote, and it’s printed on the permit submittal.
Lead time depends on the line you select, the size, and the finish. Stock-size aluminum impact windows in white or bronze often land faster than custom vinyl units in less common finishes. Once we finalize your measurements and approval numbers, we’ll give you a written timeline so you can schedule around it. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll narrow it down for your specific configuration.
Yes. Wellington is in an HVHZ jurisdiction, so your building department requires product approval documentation for impact windows. Each configuration carries its own approval number, which we verify on your quote and include in the permit package we submit. Without that, the permit doesn’t clear.
Most sizes are available within the approved range for each line. Both sashes tilt in for cleaning, screens are offered in half or full configurations, and glass packages can be mixed per opening, so bedrooms might get Low-E while living areas use clear. If you have an unusual opening size, we’ll check the NOA for that dimension before quoting.
Wash the frame and tracks with mild soap and water a few times a year, and keep the track clear of debris so the sashes glide without resistance. The tilt-in sashes let you clean the exterior glass from inside, which matters on second-story installs. The laminated glass itself needs no special treatment beyond normal window cleaning.
