Who makes them

Both makers list fixed windows in shapes.

CWS and ES Windows both make fixed impact windows in shapes. Here's what each says about them on its own product pages:

Neither maker lists every shape it can build, so we confirm yours at the measure. Your written quote names the exact window, its shape and size, its frame and glass, and its approval number.

Where it fits

Shaped windows are for light, not air.

Good fit

  • An arched or round opening you already have: the new window follows its shape
  • Light high on a wall, over a door or another window, where nothing needs to open
  • A front of the house where the shape is part of the look

Think twice

  • You need air from that opening: shaped windows are fixed, so pair one with a casement or single-hung below it
  • A shape your wall opening doesn't have: changing the opening is wall work, not a window swap

In customers' words

A round porthole window, in a customer's own words.

Reviews on our Google listings from window customers, including one who replaced a round window.

I replaced 17 windows, 11 sliding doors, double front door, garage lift door and side door, plus a round porthole window. I was hesitant at first because it was such a large project to me, so I did it in 3 phases.

He measured the openings and I picked the impact window that I wanted right after viewing the different designs, manufacturers and prices.

What is an architectural impact window?

It's an impact window in a shape other than a plain rectangle: an arch-top, a half-round, an eyebrow, a round window, an octagon, or a trapezoid that follows a roofline. They're fixed glass, so they bring in light without opening. Both manufacturers we install, CWS and ES Windows, list fixed windows in shapes, and we confirm yours at the free measure.

Do arched and round impact windows open?

No. The shaped windows CWS and ES Windows list are fixed: CWS offers its shapes as part of its picture window, and ES lists them on its fixed windows. If you want air in that spot, the usual answer is a shaped window on top and an opening window below it, such as a casement or a single-hung, in the same opening.

Can you replace a round or porthole window?

Yes. One Fort Myers customer listed “a round porthole window” among the 17 windows, 11 sliding doors and other doors we replaced at their home, in three phases. A round window is measured like any other opening at the free in-home measure, and the new one is made to that size, then installed by our crew.

Can a shaped window go over a door?

Often, yes. Half-rounds, eyebrows and arch-tops commonly sit above a front door or a pair of patio doors as a separate fixed window. Whether yours works depends on the wall above the door, so we check it at the free measure and put the answer, and the exact product, on your written quote before anything is ordered.

Can I add an arch where I have a square window now?

That's wall work, not a window swap: the opening itself has to change shape. Some walls allow it and some don't, so we look at yours at the free in-home measure and tell you what's possible before anything goes on the quote. Nothing about the opening changes without your say-so.

Do shaped windows come with grids?

They can. ES Windows lists flat or ogee-profile grid bars for its Multimax fixed window, and CWS offers grilles on its picture windows. The arched windows in the photo on this page have a sunburst pattern in the arch. Grids are a look, not a requirement, so whether to have them is your call at the measure.

How much do architectural impact windows cost?

We don't publish prices, because a shaped window is priced for its own shape, size and glass, and for what else is on the job. The in-home measure is free. Your written quote lists each window with its manufacturer and approval number, so you can compare quotes on the same product rather than on a description.

Which brands make your shaped windows?

We're an authorized installer for CWS and ES Windows, and both make fixed impact windows in shapes: CWS as part of its Hurricane Guard picture window, ES in its ES-EL150 and ES-MX1500. The written quote names which one your window comes from, so you can look up the product before you sign.
