How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CGI builds a serious impact window. The extruded aluminum frames are heavy, the laminated glass is thick, and the hardware is engineered for hurricane cycles. But custom and geometric shapes introduce stresses that rectangular windows do not have, and after ten or fifteen years in Plantation’s heat and humidity, those stresses show up in specific ways. Here is what we see most often on CGI shaped windows in this market.

• Arched and radius units fogging at the apex. CGI’s Sentry and Estate lines use a dual-seal insulated glass unit, and on a radius or arch top, the bend puts more stress on the secondary seal at the crown. After years of Broward County sun loading on the north-facing head of the opening, that seal can fail and the glass fogs. We replace the IGU and re-glaze to the frame, not with a off-the-shelf square unit cut down, but with a matched radius unit built to the original camber.
• Geometric fixed lites sagging on their setting blocks. CGI fixed shaped windows, particularly trapezoids and pentagons in gable ends, can settle over time if the original setting blocks were placed too close to the corners. Plantation’s afternoon thunderstorms and the temperature swing between an air-conditioned interior and a 95-degree exterior accelerate that settling. The glass drifts, the sightlines go uneven, and eventually the unit binds against the frame. We remove, reset, and re-block the unit properly, then re-caulk and re-glaze.
• Casement and awning hardware on Estate line geometric units. CGI’s Estate series casements and awnings with shaped sashes use a multi-point locking mechanism. In Plantation, the combination of salt air drift from the coast and our humidity creates corrosion on the lock cams and hinge points. The operator crank turns harder and harder until the homeowner stops using the window altogether. We clean and lubricate where salvageable, and where the cam is pitted, we replace with OEM CGI hardware so the warranty language is not disturbed.
• Weep system blockage in oversized trapezoid and triangle units. CGI frames are drilled with weep holes to drain water that gets past the outer glazing. On large geometric fixed windows, leaves, dirt, and the fine dust that blows around Plantation’s landscape-heavy neighborhoods work their way into the track and plug those weeps. Water sits at the bottom rail, wicks into the sealant, and eventually shows up as staining or a soft windowsill. We clear the weeps, flush the track, and re-seal the sill.
• Mullion joints opening on large combination units. When a CGI custom opening uses mulled geometric panels side by side, the mullion is the structural splice between them. On Plantation homes with wide lakefront or golf course exposures, wind load and thermal cycling pull at those joints. Once the mullion seal opens, you get air infiltration and sometimes water. We disassemble, re-flash, and re-seal the mullion with the correct structural sealant for CGI’s frame profile.

Our CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Process

When you call us about a CGI shaped window problem in Plantation, we do not guess over the phone and we do not send a salesperson. We send a technician who has actually worked on CGI frames. Here is how the job runs:

1. 1
   You call (772) 577-2915. A live person answers, asks what you are seeing, and schedules a time that works. You are not routed through a national call center.
2. 2
   We inspect the window. The tech measures the unit, checks the seal condition, inspects the hardware, and tests the operation. We look at how the window was originally installed, because on a geometric unit, the installation is often the root of the problem.
3. 3
   We give you a written quote before work begins. You see the parts cost and the labor cost, line by line. No change orders, no surprise line items on the final bill.
4. 4
   We make the repair with the right parts. For CGI warranty-sensitive work, we use OEM components. Where an aftermarket part is genuinely better or faster, we tell you, and we put that in writing too.
5. 5
   We test the window and clean up. The window is operated through its full range, the seal is checked, and the work area is left cleaner than we found it.
6. 6
   We register the work under The Keystone Standard. Both warranty layers are documented in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and the job is covered by our Done Right Promise.

What CGI Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Plantation

CGI shaped window work in Plantation does not have a single price, because the labor depends on the size, shape, access, and what actually failed. Here is the honest range for the work we most often do:

• IGU replacement on a fogged CGI radius or arched unit: $850 to $1,900, depending on glass size and the radius camber. Custom-bent units are more expensive than square glass by a wide margin.
• Hardware replacement (Estate casement or awning operator, hinge, or multi-point cam): $220 to $680 per window, including parts and labor.
• Weep drain clearing and sill re-seal on an oversized geometric unit: $175 to $450, depending on access and how much old sealant has to be removed.
• Mullion disassembly, re-flash, and re-seal on a combination CGI unit: $600 to $1,400, depending on the number of mullion joints and whether scaffolding is needed.
• Full replacement of a custom CGI geometric window (sized to opening, impact-rated, installed): $2,800 to $7,500 per opening. Shaped glass and custom frame bending raise the cost considerably compared to a standard rectangle.

What moves the price is access, shape complexity, and whether we are repairing or replacing. A second-story radius unit over a staircase costs more to reach than a ground-floor half-round. Call (772) 577-2915 and we will give you a written line-item quote for your specific window. Estimates are free.
