How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

We have worked on enough CWS windows in Broward County to know where they fail and why. Here are the five failure modes we see most on CWS units in Plantation:

• Seal failure on CWS insulated glass units. Older CWS double-pane units lose their argon fill and start fogging between the panes, usually first on the west-facing elevation. The cause is almost always a failed spacer seal after years of Plantation heat cycling. We replace the IGU with new double-pane Low-E glass, matched to the original frame profile, and register the glass warranty in writing.
• Warped or misaligned sashes on CWS single-hung windows. Aluminum-framed CWS units in Plantation age in direct sun and the sash shoes wear unevenly, leaving the window slightly racked and letting air in along the meeting rail. We shim the frame square and replace the balance hardware; when the frame is too far gone we say so, in plain terms, before any work begins.
• Failed glazing gaskets that leak air around the glass. CWS windows used a perimeter gasket that stiffens with age. Once the gasket loses its spring, conditioned air escapes faster than most homeowners notice until the FPL bill spikes. We reglaze with a modern dual-durometer gasket that holds its compression in Florida humidity, and we test the finished window for air infiltration.
• Condensation at the bottom corners of the sash. In Plantation, this is almost never a wet-seal roof leak; it is a CWS unit with clogged weep holes and a sagging sill track. We clean the weep system, correct the sill pitch, and reseal the exterior stop. The fix is quick, but done wrong it leaks inside the wall rather than out.
• Low-E coating degradation on older CWS glass. Some early CWS Low-E packages used a coating that hazes after fifteen to twenty years of UV exposure. The window is structurally fine but has lost part of its solar control. We replace the glass only, not the whole window, and the owner gets the thermal benefit back at a fraction of full replacement cost.

Our CWS Energy-Efficient Windows Process

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (772) 577-2915, a live person answers, and we schedule a time. We measure every opening twice before we quote anything.
2. 2
   We identify the exact CWS series and glass package in your home, and we explain what failed in language a homeowner can check against their own windows.
3. 3
   Side-by-side quote on paper. We price the repair with CWS-original parts where available, and with equal-or-better aftermarket components when the OEM part is discontinued. You see the difference in writing before you choose.
4. 4
   The repair or glass replacement. Our uniformed technician does the work, sets the frame square, and installs the new glass or hardware. If a shim is needed, the shim goes in. If it is not square at the end of the job, the job is not done.
5. 5
   Testing and warranty registration. We check the opening for air movement, confirm the lock works, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
6. 6
   Cleanup and a square deal. We clean the work area, walk you through what was done, and every labor item is covered by our Done Right Promise.
