Vinyl and aluminum impact windows and doors for Boca Raton and Palm Beach County homes
Contact usImpact Windows and Doors in Boca Raton, FL
Tropic Glass Enclosures installs impact windows and doors in Boca Raton for homeowners who are done with shutters, drafts and storm-week scrambling. Vinyl or aluminum, one window or the whole house. Our own crew does the work, start to finish.
We are a family-run crew and a certified PGT Gold dealer, and we have been putting glass into Palm Beach County homes for nearly four decades. Most people searching impact windows near me want two things: a real installer who shows up, and a straight answer. That is how we sell impact windows and doors.
What Impact Window Installation Involves
An impact window is laminated glass bonded to a tough inner layer, set in a heavy frame that is anchored into your walls. If debris hits it, the glass may crack but it stays in the frame. That keeps wind and rain out of the house, which is where storm damage really starts.
The install is heavier work than standard window installation. Openings get checked for rot and squared up, anchors go into solid structure, and every perimeter is sealed for wind-driven rain. Impact windows and doors only perform as well as the install behind them.
Our Impact Window Replacement Process
It starts at your house, not on the phone. We walk each opening, look at how the old units were set, and talk through vinyl versus aluminum for each room. Then:
Measure and Spec
We measure every opening, check the framing, and match each one to a vinyl or aluminum PGT unit.
Built-to-Size Order
Impact glass is made to order, so we lock in sizes and styles before anything is removed.
Protect and Remove
Floors and furniture get covered, then the old windows and doors come out one opening at a time.
Set, Anchor and Seal
Each unit is set level, anchored into the structure, and sealed against wind-driven rain.
Test and Walkthrough
We work every lock, slider and hinge with you, then clean up before we leave.
Same crew from the first opening to the last. Nobody new shows up halfway through.
When Boca Raton Homes Need Impact Glass
Most calls we get fall into one of these. If your project is something else, ask anyway.
Swapping hurricane shutters for impact glass
- Tired of hauling panels out of the garage every time a storm forms in the Atlantic? Impact glass stays put and protects the opening on its own.
Replacing original windows in older Boca Raton homes
- Plenty of houses west of Federal Highway still have their first set of single-pane aluminum windows. Leaky seals, sticky tracks, hot rooms.
Sliding glass door replacement on the pool side
- Big sliders take the most wind and the most daily use. A new impact slider fixes both at once.
Front entry impact door installation
- An entry door has to look right from the street and hold up in a storm. We install vinyl and aluminum impact doors that do both.
Condo impact window replacement along A1A
- Oceanfront buildings see salt spray all year. Most associations have their own rules on frame color and style, so bring those to the estimate.
Quieter rooms near I-95 and Glades Road
- Laminated impact glass cuts a lot of road noise. Homeowners near the busy corridors notice it the first night.
Commercial impact windows and storefront doors
- Offices and storefronts need protection without closing for a week. We plan the install around your hours.
Not every room needs impact glass. For interior spaces or tight budgets we also handle non-impact replacement windows, and we will tell you honestly which openings matter most.
What to Expect on Impact Door Installation Day
We work Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. The crew pulls one opening at a time, so your house is never left wide open overnight. Expect some noise and dust, kept to the rooms we are in.
Most impact window replacement in Palm Beach County needs a building permit, and many condo boards want to sign off too, so ask about both at your estimate. If you also want a back porch closed in, a glass patio enclosure can often be planned in the same visit.

What Impact Windows and Doors Cost in Boca Raton
Price comes down to the number of openings, their sizes, vinyl or aluminum frames, and how many are sliders or doors. A pool-side wall of glass costs more than a bedroom window. A whole-house job usually beats doing it in pieces.
We do not quote impact windows and doors over the phone, because a guess helps nobody. Book a free estimate and we will measure, price every opening line by line, and get back to you within 24 hours.
Impact Window Service From Jupiter to the Broward Line
Boca Raton is home base. Cross the Hillsboro Canal into Deerfield and you are in Broward's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, with its own product approvals. North of the canal, Palm Beach County still falls in the wind-borne debris region, so the impact windows and doors we install here are built for it.
We also work in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, Highland Beach, Palm Beach, South Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Greenacres and Jupiter. Customers there may know us from patio enclosures in Delray Beach, enclosure work in Boynton Beach or oceanfront glass in Highland Beach.
If you typed impact window installation near me from anywhere along that stretch, we probably drive past your street already.
Contact UsGet a Free Impact Window Estimate Before Storm Season
Lead times on built-to-order glass stretch out as June gets closer. Call 561-482-9010 or send a request, and we will come measure, walk you through vinyl and aluminum options, and hand you a clear quote for your impact windows and doors.
Thinking bigger? Plenty of homeowners pair new impact glass with turning a screened porch into a year-round glass room. We can price both together.
Impact Windows and Doors Questions From Boca Raton Homeowners
-
Yes. Impact-rated glass is the opening protection, so there is nothing to put up or take down when a storm is coming. Most Boca Raton homeowners who switch never miss the shutters.
-
Both work well here. Vinyl frames insulate nicely and do not corrode in salt air. Aluminum allows slimmer frames and very large openings. We carry both from PGT and will show you side by side.
-
Impact products are built to order, so there is a wait between signing and install day. Once the units arrive, most single-family homes take a day or two of install work. You get the schedule upfront.
-
Often, yes. Florida insurers offer wind mitigation credits for protected openings. After the job, a wind mitigation inspection documents the new impact windows and doors so your insurer can apply any discount.
-
Move furniture back from the windows and doors, take down blinds and curtains, and clear a path for the crew. If you have a security system, let your alarm company know about the work ahead of time.
