AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Lantana
Impact windows and doors in Lantana are not a home upgrade here. They’re the cost of living a quarter mile from salt water on two sides. We install and replace hurricane-rated windows, sliders, entry doors, and garage doors for homes across Lantana, from the 1960s CBS blocks east of US-1 down to the neighborhoods along Hypoluxo Road. Our crews know what salt air does to aluminum frames, what Palm Beach County wind-borne debris code requires, and how to spec a job that will still be sound in twenty years. Call (561) 708-6771 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, founded by Dale Kessler, and we’ve been setting windows and doors in South Florida since 2008. Lantana homeowners call us because we do not talk around the hard part: the salt air from Lake Worth Lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other shortens the life of cheap window and door hardware faster here than nearly anywhere in Palm Beach County. Our Impact Windows & Doors team quotes marine-grade aluminum, stainless hardware, and sealed sill pans as standard on coastal-adjacent Lantana jobs, not as an upsell.
The same crew that sets your windows today will be the crew you call if anything needs attention later. We stand behind the work with the Done Right Promise, and before the truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing under The Keystone Standard, durations stated, no paperwork to chase. Lantana homeowners tell us they would rather pay once for a square deal than twice for someone who will not answer the phone. We answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Lantana
Hurricane Impact Windows
A typical impact window replacement in Lantana runs $1,100-$2,600 per opening, installed, depending on size and frame spec. The jalousie and thin-frame single-pane aluminum openings on older CBS homes east of US-1 are nearly always full-frame replacement jobs, not insert jobs, once the salt corrosion and existing rough opening are inspected. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and install fusion-welded frames with sealed sill pans so the salt air does not start working its way inside the wall cavity from day one.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact-rated sliding glass doors in Lantana typically cost $3,800-$7,500 installed, with the higher end covering wide multi-panel openings and custom low-E glass packages. On Intracoastal-facing lots, the original builder-grade aluminum sliders from the 1960s and 1970s are often pitted and seized at the track by the time we arrive. We replace the entire frame and hardware set, not just the panel, and spec stainless rollers and marine-grade tracks that will not bind after three summers of salt spray.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact entry and French doors in Lantana run $2,700-$6,400 per door system, installed. The latch and hinge hardware on original doors near the water pitts and seizes surprisingly fast; we regularly see doors that still look passable but will not deadbolt shut. We install full impact-rated door systems with stainless hinges, multi-point locks, and factory-applied marine-grade finishes, and both warranty layers are registered before we leave.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact-rated garage doors for Lantana homes range $2,400-$5,800 depending on width, material, and wind-load rating. Garage doors are the largest single opening on most houses here, and a non-rated door that fails under wind pressure can pressurize the entire home in a storm. We install code-compliant impact doors and can tie the job into a wind mitigation inspection so you see the insurance benefit on paper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana

That means faster turnaround when a part is needed and warranty support that is already registered before we pull out of your driveway. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what each brand gets you, including frame material, glass package, and warranty terms. No one should buy impact windows off a verbal quote.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Oxidized aluminum frames and sill pans. Bi-directional salt air from Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic corrodes the original 1960s aluminum frames so badly that sashes sometimes crumble when pulled. The glass may be intact, but the frame is structurally dead, and a new window cannot be set into a corroded pan without cutting it out and rebuilding it.
- Jalousie windows that cannot be made code-compliant. Louvered glass panels are still common in Lantana’s older Intracoastal-adjacent blocks, and no storm panel, shutter, or film makes them legal under Palm Beach County wind-borne debris code. Every one of them must be removed and replaced with an impact-rated unit, which is why full changeouts are so common here.
- Seized and pitted door hardware. Impact entry and French door latches, hinges, and deadbolts on water-adjacent homes pit and bind within a few years from constant salt exposure. A door that will not deadbolt is not an inconvenience, it is a failure waiting for the next storm warning, and the fix is a full stainless hardware replacement, not WD-40.
- Non-compliant single-pane aluminum windows that still “work.” Many original 1950s-1970s CBS homes in Lantana still carry single-pane aluminum windows that open and close fine but fail current Florida Building Code wind-load standards outright. The failure is invisible right up until the wind tests it, and you cannot retrofit a single-pane aluminum frame into impact compliance.

The price gap between a coastal-spec Lantana job and the same brand installed inland comes down to materials: marine-grade aluminum versus standard aluminum, stainless hardware versus zinc, sealed and rebuilt sill pans versus reusing the old pan. The inland-spec version might save you 10-15 percent up front and start failing on the salt side of town within eight to ten years. We quote the right spec the first time, in writing, no surprise line items. Call (561) 708-6771 and ask for a free, written, line-item estimate for your Lantana home.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Lantana
No. Jalousie windows, the louvered glass panels still common in Lantana’s older blocks near the Intracoastal, cannot be made code-compliant with storm panels, shutters, or any film product. Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements apply to the entire glazed assembly, not just what sits in front of it. The louvered frame design cannot support an impact-rated glazing package, so the only legal fix is full removal and replacement with an impact-rated unit. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will walk your specific openings with you.
Faster than most Lantana homeowners expect. We regularly see original 1960s aluminum frames on Intracoastal-adjacent homes that are structurally degraded, with flaking oxidation and crumbling channel walls, while the glass is still intact. Inland, that same frame might last another decade. On the salt side of town, standard aluminum, zinc hardware, and unsealed sill pans start showing visible pitting and binding within three to seven years. That is why we spec marine-grade aluminum and stainless hardware on water-adjacent Lantana jobs by default.
The difference is the material spec. A Standard Hurricane impact window from Andersen, Pella, or Marvin costs more installed in Lantana because the job done properly uses marine-grade aluminum frames, stainless fasteners and hardware, and sealed or rebuilt sill pans, not standard aluminum and zinc. That coastal spec adds roughly 10-15 percent to the job, and skipping it means redoing or repairing the opening within a decade when the salt air wins. We write both specs side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
No. Impact film does not bring a single-pane aluminum window into compliance with Palm Beach County wind-borne debris code, and it does nothing to address a frame that salt air has been working on for fifty to sixty years. Code requires an impact-rated glazing system in a rated frame, or an approved shutter system over a compliant opening. The original jalousie and thin-frame aluminum windows on Lantana’s older CBS homes fail on both counts, and the only permanent fix is replacement. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free in-home read on your openings.
Oxidized aluminum frames and sill pans on jalousie and single-pane windows, with seized door hardware running a close second. We replaced a row of original jalousie windows on a 1960s CBS ranch along the Intracoastal side of East Lantana, and the old aluminum frames were so corroded the sashes crumbled when we pulled them. The sill pans had to be completely cut out and rebuilt before the new flashing tape and fusion-welded impact frames could go in. That is what salt air does here, and it does not show up on a real estate listing.
