Why single hung impact windows suit Wellington homes
Single hung impact windows have one operable bottom sash and a fixed top sash. They're the most popular and cost-effective hurricane impact window style in South Florida — perfect for whole-home replacements where homeowners want full Florida Product Approval impact protection without paying for features they won't use. A single hung has one operable sash, and it travels over the fixed one — so the clear opening you actually get is a little under half the glass area. That is usually fine, and single hung is the most cost-effective impact configuration on the market. It becomes a problem in bedrooms, because Florida Building Code sets a minimum clear opening for egress, and a bedroom that passed with an old casement or an old horizontal roller can fail once a single hung goes into the same rough opening.
What Wellington homes were originally built with
Wellington is a late-buildout community, with most of its stock going up from the 1980s through the 2000s, so single-hung and fixed combinations in standard builder sizes dominate rather than the older aluminium rollers found east of it. A meaningful share of the newer homes were built to the 2002 code or later, which makes establishing what is currently installed the first step rather than the last. The equestrian properties are a separate case, with larger and more varied openings and frequently outbuildings that a whole-home scope should count. That history is why we quote single hung impact windows against the opening in front of us rather than against a size schedule.
Clear opening is the constraint, not the frame size
The most common correction we make at the measure is a homeowner who has priced single hungs throughout the house to keep the cost down, without realising two or three of those openings are bedrooms that will not meet egress in that configuration. It is far cheaper to catch at the measure than after the order is placed, because impact units are made to size and are not returnable. We see it regularly across Palm Beach Polo, Binks Forest, Olympia and the surrounding Wellington neighbourhoods, where the housing stock is consistent enough that the same specification question comes up again and again.
Approvals and permitting in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so products here carry statewide Florida Product Approval rather than a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That widens the range of approved configurations available to you rather than lowering the standard — a useful thing when an HOA's approved-product list and the code have to be satisfied at the same time, which in much of this county they do. Every single hung impact window we install in Wellington carries Florida Product Approval, and we pull the permit and manage the inspections through the local building department rather than leaving that to you.
What we see on Wellington properties
Wellington's equestrian estates around the Polo Club and Aero Club, plus family-oriented communities like Binks Forest and Olympia, share large window walls and architectural openings that benefit dramatically from impact upgrades — combining hurricane protection with measurable energy savings on Wellington's hot, sunny exposures. We work within HOA-approved manufacturer lists for every Wellington community we serve.
The bedroom swap that fails inspection
A single hung has one operable sash, and it travels over the fixed one — so the clear opening you actually get is a little under half the glass area. That is usually fine, and single hung is the most cost-effective impact configuration on the market. It becomes a problem in bedrooms, because Florida Building Code sets a minimum clear opening for egress, and a bedroom that passed with an old casement or an old horizontal roller can fail once a single hung goes into the same rough opening. On a Wellington job this is settled at the measure, on site, against the actual opening — which is the only place it can honestly be settled.
Large openings on estate elevations
The estates around Palm Beach Polo and Aero Club, and the family communities through Binks Forest and Olympia, share a pattern of tall window walls and wide architectural openings — the kind of glass a production home does not have. Two things follow. Structurally, a large opening concentrates load, so the header, the anchor pattern and sometimes the frame series are assessed before any panel dimension is settled; oversized units also carry manufacturing limits that a standard opening never runs into. Commercially, the same elevations are the reason a Wellington impact project shows up on the cooling bill: unshaded glass at that area is a real load, and the Low-E specification is doing measurable work rather than filling a line on a proposal. HOA-approved manufacturer lists apply across most of these communities and are settled before the order.
