1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.

Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.

Therma-Tru Impact Windows & Doors in Plantation: What to Know First
As an independent Therma-Tru service provider, we install and service impact-resistant windows and doors across Plantation, from Jacaranda to Plantation Acres. Most Therma-Tru impact jobs we handle run from initial survey to completion in two to four weeks, depending on whether the opening needs custom sizing or standard stock. We put a written dollar figure in your hand before any work starts, and that number does not change.
This page is for Plantation homeowners who already have Therma-Tru products and need impact-rated replacements, retrofits, or repairs. Whether your home was built with Therma-Tru doors in 2018 or you’re comparing impact window lines for a full-gut renovation, we measure twice, quote once, and install under the Haven Standard we’ve followed since 2012. Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule your free measured survey.
How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Classic-Craft Canvas Collection door slabs swelling at the bottom rail. In Plantation’s summer humidity, the moisture-resistant composite skin on these fiberglass doors can delaminate if the weep holes at the sill are clogged with pollen or irrigation grit. We pull the slab, clear the drainage path, and replace the bottom seal with an OEM-compatible compression gasket that won’t hold water against the rail.
- Impact-lite sidelight seal fatigue on Smooth-Star entry systems. The dual-durometer weatherstrip Therma-Tru uses on these sidelights compresses permanently after about five years of South Florida UV exposure, creating a gap that whistles during afternoon thunderstorms. We spec the upgraded Santoprene-based seal, which carries a higher Shore A rating and doesn’t turn to chalk in Broward’s sun.
- Multi-point lock misalignment on Fiber-Classic French doors. These doors rely on a passive shoot-bolt at the top and an active three-point lock at the center. When Plantation’s clay-heavy soil shifts during wet season, the frame torques and the bolts miss their strikes. We don’t just shim the hinges; we re-square the frame with composite shims, then reset the lock positions to factory spec using the original Therma-Tru strike templates.
- Low-E coating degradation in direct west exposure. Therma-Tru’s impact-rated decorative glass with Low-E can develop a hazy iridescence when the soft-coat surface oxidizes from accumulated salt air and sprinkler overspray, common in Plantation’s older golf-course communities. We document the sightline obstruction, then source replacement IGUs with a hard-coat Low-E surface that tolerates edge deletion better in high-humidity environments.
- Corner key separation on vinyl impact window sash frames. Therma-Tru’s vinyl line uses a heat-fused corner construction that can stress-crack if the expansion chamber fills with condensation and freezes during the occasional cold snap. We cut out the failed corner, weld in a new mechanical key with vinyl-compatible adhesive, and pressure-test the sash before it goes back in the opening.
Before
AfterOur Therma-Tru Impact Windows & Doors Process
- 1
Measured survey you keep. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a laser measure and a printed worksheet. We record rough opening dimensions, sightline clearances, wall thickness, and existing frame condition. You get a copy before we leave.
- 2
Diagnosis with photos. We photograph the failure point - delamination, seal gap, lock misalignment, or glass degradation - and note the Therma-Tru series, date code, and any prior service marks.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified equivalent. For warranty-active products, we source factory-direct components. For out-of-warranty units, we specify aftermarket parts that match or exceed OEM performance, and we tell you which we’re using and why.
- 4
Written scope and fixed price. The proposal states every line item: labor, materials, disposal, and permit if required. Haven Clause 1 means this document and the final invoice are the same.
- 5
Installation with documentation. Background-checked, uniformed technicians install to manufacturer spec. We photograph the completed work, the tested operation, and the sealed perimeter.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The job enters our record with your photo set. If anything drifts - seal compression, lock timing, frame settlement - we return and make it right under the Haven Standard.

Why Plantation Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Plantation for Therma-Tru Work
We’ve installed and serviced more than 18,000 openings since 2012, and a notable share of those have been Therma-Tru products in Broward County. Sonia Raman still references a 2019 impact-window retrofit cluster she ran in Plantation’s Jacaranda neighborhood when homeowners ask what her crew can handle - a mix of Fiber-Classic entry systems and vinyl impact retrofits on 1990s-era homes with out-of-square block construction.
Our technicians carry license numbers, not just business cards. Haven Clause 3 means the person at your door is the person on record. If your Therma-Tru line is discontinued or back-ordered, we draw from seven additional verified manufacturers - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and others - specified by what your opening requires, not by what we have in stock. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not offered as a courtesy. And when you call (754) 704-3597, a live person answers, 24/7.
FAQs
No, but with conditions. Therma-Tru’s warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for original owners; it does not require dealer-only service for the warranty to remain valid. However, using non-OEM parts on certain components can limit coverage for that specific repair. We flag this before ordering, and we source factory-direct parts when your warranty status demands it. Call (754) 704-3597 and we’ll check your date code and coverage.
Standard OEM components - seals, hinges, lock bodies - typically arrive in five to ten business days. Custom-sized impact-rated slabs or decorative glass IGUs run three to five weeks. We don’t start the clock until you’ve approved the written scope, and we confirm lead times in that document so you’re not waiting on a verbal guess.
Replace when the frame is rotted, the slab is delaminated on both faces, or the impact rating has been compromised by a prior impact. Repair when the failure is isolated to seals, hardware, or a single glass unit. We make this recommendation in writing with photos, not in a sales pitch. Our free second opinion applies if another contractor has already told you to replace.
Usually, but not always with factory paint. Therma-Tru maintains color records for current lines, and we can cross-reference your door’s date code. For discontinued colors, we spec a commercial color match to the fiberglass substrate and clear-coat it for UV stability. We sample the match on a test strip and show you before production.
Run your hand along the interior frame during a windy afternoon - any draft indicates seal or weatherstrip failure. Check the corner welds on vinyl sashes for hairline cracks. For doors, close the deadbolt and lift the handle; if the multi-point bolts don’t engage smoothly, the frame has likely shifted. Document what you find with photos. Then call (754) 704-3597 - we’ll review your notes at no charge and schedule a measured survey if the fix isn’t obvious.
Measure it right the first time, write it down, and the installation takes care of itself.
