Frequently Asked Questions
What does The Springs ARB look for in an impact window replacement?
The ARB typically evaluates: frame color (most Springs homes use white, bronze, or anodized aluminum profiles that should be maintained or improved with replacement); frame profile (slim sightlines are preferred to thick contractor-grade profiles); glass type (low-E insulated impact glass is standard; highly reflective glass may be rejected); and overall compatibility with the existing home character. Submit manufacturer's product cut sheets, sample photos of installed projects, and a sample of the proposed frame color chip for review. Many ARBs prefer in-person sample presentation for windows. Your installer should have experience preparing and presenting ARB submittals — this is not an add-on task; it requires real knowledge of what the board wants to see.
What is the lead time for custom-sized impact windows?
Standard residential impact windows typically ship in 4–8 weeks from order. Custom-sized units — which many Springs homes require — run 8–14 weeks depending on the manufacturer and current demand. Impact-rated specialty configurations (fixed architectural panels, angled units, frameless glass systems) may have longer lead times. During peak demand periods (after major hurricanes or during spring construction season), lead times extend further. Plan accordingly: if you want installation complete before hurricane season (June 1), aim to have ARB approval, permits submitted, and windows ordered by February at the latest for a typical project.
Will impact windows reduce my energy bills at my Springs home?
Homes in The Springs with large glass areas — particularly south and west facing — can see meaningful reductions in cooling load with low-E impact glass compared to original single-pane clear glass. Low-E coatings on impact glass reduce solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), blocking a significant portion of the solar energy that heats interior spaces. In Central Florida's climate, where cooling load dominates energy bills, low-E impact glass can reduce HVAC runtime meaningfully. The return is most significant on homes with substantial glass area facing southwest — a common configuration in The Springs' wooded-lot homes that oriented large windows toward the natural landscape.
How do I maintain impact windows on a Springs property with tree canopy?
Impact windows require minimal maintenance beyond regular cleaning. For homes with overhead tree canopy — common in The Springs — more frequent cleaning of weep holes (the small drainage slots at the bottom of the window frame) is important, as organic debris can block these holes and cause water intrusion. Inspect weep holes and clear any blockage quarterly. Frame hardware (handles, locks, hinges on operable units) should be lubricated annually with silicone-based lubricant. Any sealant around the perimeter of the frame should be inspected annually for cracking or separation; minor sealant failures are simple repairs if caught early but can lead to significant water intrusion if neglected.
Are impact windows required by Florida Building Code for a home of this age?
Florida Building Code does not retroactively require existing homes to be upgraded to impact windows unless a renovation triggers the requirement. However, Seminole County requires that any window replacement — even like-for-like replacement of existing windows — be installed with products that meet current wind-load and water infiltration standards for the applicable wind zone. In 32779 (Longwood), homes are in a Seminole County wind zone that requires specific impact ratings. For The Springs homeowners, the combined ARB, building code, and insurance pressure to upgrade to impact windows makes replacement essentially universal when original windows reach end of life.
