Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We service and replace Mr-Glass windows and doors across South Palm Beach, from the oceanfront towers on Ocean Boulevard to the Intracoastal-facing units on South Ocean. The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work here different is the salt. Every unit on this barrier island strip gets wind-driven salt spray from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so the original Mr-Glass aluminum frames from the 1960s through early 1980s are nearly all corroded at the sill tracks and roller assemblies. We know exactly which Mr-Glass models hold up in that environment and which ones need full replacement, and we handle the condo-board approval packet that mainland contractors don’t know exists.

Why South Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been working on Mr-Glass products in Palm Beach County since 2011. Ed Winslow started this company and still answers to his own name on every job, which is why we treat an 800 Series slider in a 12th-floor South Palm Beach condo with the same care we’d give a window in his own house. Our technicians see Mr-Glass 600 Series single-hungs, 700 Series casements, and 800 Series sliders every week, so we carry the rollers, locks, and weatherstripping these units need without waiting on a factory shipment. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer arm, which means we tell you the truth when a track is salvageable and when it isn’t.
Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in South Palm Beach
- Corroded 800 Series slider bottom tracks. On oceanfront balconies, salt-laden water pools at the sill after every storm and eats through the aluminum track within a decade. We’ve seen tracks on Reef Road units rot clean through, leaving the door to grind on bare concrete.
- Failing wool pile weatherstripping on 600 Series single-hungs. High-floor east-facing units catch wind-driven rain straight off the Atlantic. Once that wool pile dries out and compresses, water wicks through the sash and puddles on the interior sill.
- Bent or seized roller assemblies on 800 Series sliders. Constant salt spray plus fine beach sand abrades the roller bearings until the door takes two hands and a hip to move. In South Palm Beach, this happens years sooner than it does ten miles inland.
- Glass-to-frame seal degradation on 500 Series jalousie panes. Intracoastal-facing units get heat and humidity from the west all afternoon. The sealant between glass and aluminum frame cracks, causing chronic leaks and fogging you can’t wipe away.
- Discontinued 500 Series hardware failure. Original Mr-Glass jalousie operators and locking levers were discontinued years ago. Without the right parts source, a broken crank leaves a window stuck open in hurricane season.
Mr-Glass Service in South Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
South Palm Beach is a razor-thin strip of land, barely a quarter mile wide in most places, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. That means your Mr-Glass frames get salt spray from two directions every single day. The original 1970s-era 6-foot aluminum sliders on oceanfront balconies corrode so aggressively at the bottom track and roller assemblies that replacement is often required within a decade of installation. Any contractor working this town learns fast to spec marine-grade hardware and weep-hole covers as standard, not as an upgrade. But there’s a second layer here that most people don’t think about until it stalls their project: virtually every window or door in South Palm Beach is in a condo tower from the 1960s through 1980s, which means every replacement needs both Palm Beach County hurricane-impact approval and the individual building’s architectural review board sign-off. That dual-approval burden adds weeks or months if you don’t know to prepare for it. We do.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in South Palm Beach
We work on the full original Mr-Glass lineup still found in South Palm Beach condos: the 600 Series single-hung, 700 Series casement, 500 Series jalousie, and 800 Series horizontal slider. For rollers, locks, and weatherstripping, we source OEM Mr-Glass parts when they’re available. For discontinued 500 Series jalousie hardware, we use proven marine-grade aftermarket components that outperform the originals in salt air. When frames are sound and tracks are clean, we repair. But in South Palm Beach, most original Mr-Glass aluminum frames fail current wind-load tests under the Florida Building Code, so full replacement with impact-rated units is usually the honest recommendation. We’re authorized installers for Mr-Glass alongside PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Therma-Tru. Explore Mr-Glass sales & service for the full range we carry.
Mr-Glass Service Pricing in South Palm Beach
Roller and track replacements on Mr-Glass sliders in South Palm Beach typically run $180 to $340 per door, depending on whether the track is corroded enough to require cutting and welding in a new sill section. Weatherstripping replacement on 600 Series single-hungs is usually $120 to $220 per window. Our Impact Windows in South Palm Beach for full-frame replacement with impact-rated units is a bigger job, and the price depends on the model, size, and whether we’re working on a 3rd-floor unit or a 12th-floor unit with crane access. Every free estimate we write includes the condo-board submittal packet with elevation drawings and product approval numbers, because that’s not an add-on here, it’s the starting point. Call (561) 928-0302 for an exact quote.

FAQs - Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
It depends on the frame. If the aluminum sill extrusion is intact and the frame passes current wind-load requirements, we can cut out the old track, weld in a new one, and install marine-grade rollers for $180 to $340. But most original Mr-Glass frames in South Palm Beach were installed before current hurricane-impact standards existed, and many are too corroded to pass inspection. When that’s the case, Window Installation in South Palm Beach for full replacement with an impact-rated unit is the honest call. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll assess the actual frame, not just guess over the phone.
Each building’s architectural review board sets its own rules. Some boards require an exact visual match to the original Mr-Glass frame profile, while others accept any impact-rated unit in a similar finish. Our proposals always include elevation drawings and product approval numbers so the board can approve quickly. We’ve submitted enough packets in South Palm Beach to know what each building on Ocean Boulevard and South Ocean is likely to ask for.
South Palm Beach jalousie windows leak for two reasons: the glass-to-frame sealant has cracked from years of Intracoastal humidity and salt, or the original 500 Series hardware no longer holds the panes tight against the frame. The fix is either resealing each pane or replacing the operators and locking levers with marine-grade aftermarket parts. If the frames are too far gone, we recommend full replacement with impact-rated units. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you which path makes sense for your unit.
With a complete submittal packet that includes NOA drawings and product approval numbers, most South Palm Beach condo boards review and approve within two to three weeks, and the county permit can clear the same week the board signs off. The delay happens when a contractor submits without the board-ready drawings and the application bounces back for revisions. We build that packet into every proposal, which is why our South Palm Beach jobs move faster than the average.
Yes, we service them, but we’ll also tell you the truth: single-pane Mr-Glass aluminum frames from the 1960s and 1970s do not meet today’s Florida Building Code for hurricane protection, and most have corrosion that compromises the seal. We can repair rollers and weatherstripping to buy you time, but full replacement with impact-rated units is the responsible long-term fix for any South Palm Beach unit that faces the ocean or the Intracoastal. Call (561) 928-0302 to schedule a free assessment.
