Boca Raton Window Replacement provides professional aluminum window replacement in Boca Raton, FL for residential and commercial properties across southern Palm Beach County. Most people searching for aluminum windows in Boca Raton are not shopping. They are trying to identify the frames they already own, usually a mill-finish slider or a run of jalousies from the 1970s, and working out what has to happen to them.
Here is how to tell what you have. A 1970s residential aluminum frame has a thin extruded section, no thermal break, one pane of glass about an eighth of an inch thick, a roller track rather than a balance, and no certified label anywhere on it. If there is a sticker at all it is a glass mark, not a performance rating.
Aluminum conducts heat far better than vinyl or wood, which is useful in a saucepan and unhelpful in a wall. In a heating climate that uninterrupted extrusion becomes the coldest thing in the room, so the industry moved residential work to other materials. That is the history behind the reputation.
Florida is the exception, and it is a real one rather than a sales line. Aluminum is still a mainstream residential frame here, because the unit has to resist high design pressures and hold a thick laminated lite, and it does that in a much narrower section than anything else on the market.
That narrow section is what you are actually buying in Boca. In the same rough opening an aluminum frame gives you more visible glass than a vinyl one, and on a large impact unit the difference is a band of daylight around all four sides. On a water view or a double-height wall, that is the argument.
The code lets it happen here. In the 8th Edition, Palm Beach County moved from Climate Zone 2 into Climate Zone 1, where the prescriptive table lists the maximum fenestration U-factor as NR, no requirement at all. The solar heat gain maximum stays at 0.25. So the frame's conductivity is not what your permit measures. The coating on the glass is.
Say that plainly, because the trade gets it wrong in both directions. Nobody should tell you aluminum cannot meet the code here, and nobody should tell you a frame material passes it. The NFRC label on the specific unit governs, and thermally broken aluminum lines publish U-factors that satisfy codes far stricter than ours.
A thermal break is a strip of polymer, or poured urethane, separating the inside half of the extrusion from the outside half so the metal path through the frame is interrupted. In an air-conditioned house that is the difference between a frame you can touch in August and one that radiates at you.
So the recommendation. If your openings owe rated protection, which inside the wind-borne debris region they do, and the sightline matters, buy thermally broken aluminum with a low solar-gain coating and read the label. Do not buy bare unbroken aluminum to save money on a wall you sit against, and do not replace a sound aluminum frame on a garage or utility room that owes no protection just to match the house.
Permits are expected, because the Florida code's exempt-work list never mentions windows or glazing, and the City of Boca Raton reviews the product approval alongside the energy numbers. Both the glass and glazing and the window and door installation categories are voluntary specialty certifications under section 489.113(6).

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum window replacement
The difference between aluminum window replacement that lasts and aluminum window replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with statewide Florida Product Approval listings valid outside the HVHZ, ASTM E1886 and E1996 large-missile impact testing, AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 performance class and grade, design pressures read from the county ultimate wind speed map, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Boca Raton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in southern Palm Beach County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
