Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows in Lantana: What to Know First
We install and replace Mr-Glass custom and geometric windows in Lantana as an independent service provider, with most measured surveys scheduled within two business days and written pricing delivered before any work begins. Typical custom orders run 4-8 weeks from signed quote to installation, depending on glass specification and shape complexity. We do not quote over the phone; Haven Clause 1 requires a measured survey you keep, and the written scope derived from that document is the same one we invoice against.
This page is for Lantana homeowners who already own Mr-Glass products and need arched, curved, geometric, or oversized custom units replaced or newly installed, including impact-rated configurations for Florida Product Approval. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule your measured survey. Live answer, any hour.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Custom laminated units in the MG-Impact series develop edge delamination near the coastal bend. In Lantana, the combination of salt air off the Intracoastal and summer humidity above 85 percent degrades the PVB interlayer at the sightline edge of curved and arched units. We see this most on second-story geometric windows facing east. Our fix: remove the sash, document the delamination extent with photo evidence, and order a replacement unit with upgraded Trosifol or SentryGlas interlayer specified for marine exposure. We do not attempt to reglass a curved laminated lite in the field; the optical distortion from improper autoclave pressure makes the repair visible from the street.
- MG-Architectural fixed geometric units lose their argon fill faster than rectangular counterparts. The mitered or curved spacer bar joints in hexagonal, octagonal, and quarter-round shapes are stress concentrators. Over five to seven years, thermal cycling opens microgaps at the corners. We detect this with a sparklike deflection meter on site; if U-factor has degraded by more than 0.05 from specification, we replace the insulated glass unit with a warm-edge spacer system and re-measure the sightline before ordering.
- Oversized MG-Custom lift-out units rack out of square in their frames. Mr-Glass builds these with 3/16-inch clearance tolerance, but Lantana’s sandy substrate and older block construction settle unevenly. The result: the sash binds on the lock side or drops on the hinge side. We do not shim and hope. We pull the unit, re-measure the rough opening to a sixteenth, and fabricate a new sub-sill or head jamb if the frame itself has twisted. Sonia Raman logs these readings on the measured survey you keep.
- MG-Impact geometric units with applied SDLs (simulated divided lites) show seal failure at the SDL-to-glass interface. The adhesive-backed profile separates when surface temperature exceeds 140°F on south-facing units, common in Lantana from May through September. We remove the failed SDL, clean the glass to ASTM C1036 standard, and reinstall with a two-part structural silicone rated for dynamic wind load. OEM SDL kits are available; we match the profile exactly or document the substitution on the written scope.
- Radius-top units in the MG-Traditional line develop stress cracks at the springline. The transition from rectangular bottom to curved top concentrates flexural stress when the header settles or when impact-rated laminated glass is heavier than the original design load. We see this in 1980s Lantana ranch renovations where the radius top was retrofitted into a standard opening. Our fix: engineer a reinforced header or switch to a thinner laminated lite with equivalent DP rating, documented on the quote with both options priced.
Our Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process

- 1
Measured survey on site. We arrive with digital calipers, a laser level, and a camera. You receive a copy of every dimension, every frame reading, and every photo before we leave. This is the document Haven Clause 1 is built on; the quote cannot deviate from it.
- 2
Diagnosis and parts decision. We identify the Mr-Glass series, manufacturing date from the etched insignia, and whether the failure is glass, frame, or hardware. OEM parts are quoted first; if Mr-Glass lead time exceeds your tolerance, we specify an equivalent aftermarket component and note the variance in writing.
- 3
Written scope and fixed price. The quote lists every unit, every specification, every labor line, and every permit fee if Florida Product Approval or HVHZ certification is required. You sign once. The price does not change.
- 4
Fabrication and delivery. We coordinate directly with the glass fabricator for custom shapes, receiving the unit at our Lantana facility for inspection before delivery to your home. If the sightline measurement does not match the survey, we reorder at our cost.
- 5
Installation and testing. Crews arrive uniformed, background-checked, with license numbers provided in advance per Haven Clause 3. We install, seal, and test operability, then photograph every opening. You receive the photo record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise documentation before we leave.
- 6
Cleanup and final documentation. No debris remains. The measured survey, written scope, invoice, photo record, and warranty travel together in one emailed packet. Measure it right the first time. Everything after that is just paperwork.

These are Lantana-market ranges based on our 2024-2025 installations, not national estimates. Final price depends on what the measured survey finds, not what we guess. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule your free survey and written quote.
Why Lantana Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Lantana for Mr-Glass Work

We are independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise, and we have installed more than 18,000 openings since 2012 with a written price before every one. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not offered as a courtesy. If a Mr-Glass unit fails because of our specification or installation, we make it right at no charge.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival. We answer the phone live, 24/7, because a geometric window leaking during a tropical storm is not a voicemail situation. And if Mr-Glass lead times or specifications do not fit your opening, we specify from our other verified lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Therma-Tru, or ViewLux - by performance and price, not by what is in stock.
We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate from another contractor. Bring us their scope; we will review it against the opening and tell you where the numbers come from.
FAQs
No. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we work within the terms of your existing warranty where it applies, and we document our work so the manufacturer cannot deny coverage due to improper installation. If the unit is out of warranty, we quote replacement with equivalent or upgraded specifications and note the warranty status on the written scope. Call (561) 461-2062 to review your specific coverage.
Standard custom shapes from Mr-Glass typically ship in 4-6 weeks; complex radius-top or oversized units run 6-8 weeks. We do not quote delivery dates we cannot verify with the fabricator. If your timeline is fixed, we may specify an equivalent unit from PGT or CGI with confirmed availability. The measured survey includes a realistic lead-time estimate before you sign.
Cracked insulated glass units in geometric shapes are almost always replaced, not repaired. The spacer fabrication and gas fill cannot be replicated in the field for custom shapes. Cracked laminated impact glass may be reglazed only if the frame is undamaged and the crack is contained to one lite; we assess this on site and document the recommendation with photo evidence. Call (561) 461-2062 for a measured survey.
The radius-top seal sees maximum wind-driven rain load when summer storms hit Lantana from the southeast at 15-25 degrees off vertical. If the original installation did not use a backer rod and compatible sealant at the springline, water tracks behind the exterior stop. We remove the stops, inspect the rough opening for rot, and reseal with Sika or Dow Corning structural sealant rated for 200 percent joint movement. This is documented in the photo record.
No. Haven Clause 1 and Haven Clause 5 - No Surprises - govern every job. The written price derived from the measured survey is the invoice price. The only exception is concealed damage to the rough opening or structural members that could not have been detected during survey; if we find such damage, we stop work, photograph it, and present a written amendment before continuing. In twelve years and 18,000 openings, this has occurred fewer than thirty times. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule your free estimate.
