Help, Florida Moms! Window - What Kind Is This & How to Fix?

in the hollywood area: call Seminole Glass on Johnson ST

I could not open the picture. If it's one of those that open out when you turn the lever it's a jalousie window. You can remove the pane that is broken and take it frame and all to your local Ace Hardware and they will put another pane in. I had that happen and only got it fixed because I happened to be at Ace buying something else and I asked one of the employees. They also redo the screens if the frame is not broken or bent. It did not cost much, and being a single mom myself I understand how hard it can be.

I how this helps :)

This looks like it's a double-hung window. let me know if you'll need someone to fix this. My hubby's friend works with glass and mirror and could probably fix this for you inexpensively.

Hi M.! I too live in Florida(south) and these widows are the old windows that are everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't know the official name. I currently live in my mom's home and we have those windows with one pane broken. My dad went to home depot and they stated that you can't just replace the pane...u have to replace the entire window. BUMMER! :( Although, probably not the response you wanted...I hope this helps. Who wants to replace an entire window...worse part is our window is not a standard size so has to be ordered. I would suggest to measure the window and take the photo of the window to home depot.

If you do get anything about pane replacement please let me know...

it's probably a Jalousie Window, that's what most old Florida homes have
this place is in pompano. you might try googling some other places. just replacing the glass should't cost much

I think this are called Jalosy windows. I don't think I'm spelling this correctly, but you say it like jealousy but with an "A". Good luck! Actually, I read your request again and if they don't roll out, then I'm not sure that's what they are... Sorry!

It's called a jalousie window.

Yes, that's single hung window - If you are in ft. laud., then i recommend going to Collier True Value Hardware on 45th st. just west of US1 - it's on the south side of 45th about 2 blocks down. They have a window repair dept. in the back of the store - extremely nice people and very reasonable. Their number is ###-###-#### (we've used them for repairs in our rental units). If all else fails, call home depot. Good luck.

If the top section moves at all, it's double hung. I don't think it does, so this is a single hung window, 2x2, with horizontal panes. It is not a common style (it was probably used so it would look something like a "Jalousie" style window, but be less expensive.
Are the frames made of aluminum? some styles of windows have splines around the edges to hold the glass in place. Older windows, made of wood, just have an edge that you place your glass pane against and putty back in. It reminds me of some of the institutional windows I used to see in schools.
I'd try to find an old fashioned hardware store and ask them for advice... or ev en just get the right size of glass pane and hire a handyman to do the fixing... assuming that is, that these are single pane windows, without the doubled glass and sealed space between them that newer less heat permeable windows have. If it is a sealed double paned glass.... you'll have to replace the whole window.
