Palm Bay Window Replacement provides professional aluminum window replacement in Palm Bay, FL for residential and commercial properties across south Brevard County. In south Brevard the aluminum conversation ends up being about protection rather than heat. Brevard County sits inside the wind-borne debris region, with mapped design wind speeds over much of the county at or above the 140 mph trigger, so every glazed opening owes a rating.
Protection is assessed opening by opening. A house with twenty rated windows and one unrated aluminum slider behind the garage has an unrated opening, and that is the one the code is interested in. The weakest opening sets the answer for the whole building.
The frames failing that test here are mostly aluminum: single-hungs and sliders from the 1970s and 1980s, single glazed, no thermal break, no certified label, sometimes with jalousies on a porch. They were legal when they went in. They cannot be upgraded into a rating, because a rating is tested on the whole assembly rather than on the glass alone.
There is more than one way to satisfy it, which is the useful part. Glazing in the debris region has to pass the large missile test to ASTM E1886 and E1996, or TAS 201, 202 and 203, or AAMA 506, and the code also counts an approved shutter or panel over the opening. Protecting a sound frame is a legitimate route rather than a dodge.
Where aluminum earns the job on new work is pressure. A rated unit carries a thick laminated lite, and the larger the opening the more frame stiffness that takes. Aluminum delivers it in a slim section, which is why it remains a mainstream residential frame in Florida instead of a specialty one.
The metal still conducts, and the better lines interrupt that with a polymer strut or a poured urethane break between the outside and inside halves of the extrusion. Brevard is in Climate Zone 2, with prescriptive ceilings of a 0.40 fenestration U-factor and a 0.25 solar heat gain coefficient, and the state relaxes the maximum U-factor to 0.65 for impact-rated fenestration. The solar figure is not relaxed.
So the frame material is never the test. The NFRC label on the specific unit is, and it is the document to ask for alongside the product approval. Thermally broken aluminum clears these numbers. Bare single-glazed aluminum does not and never will.
One more thing worth saying out loud on this subject. Anything sold to you as hurricane, windstorm or impact protection has to hold state or local product approval before it is marketed at all, and marketing it without one is a deceptive trade practice under Florida law. Ask for the approval covering the exact size going into the exact opening.
So the recommendation. Replace the unrated aluminum openings that face weather and serve a conditioned room. Where a frame is sound and the budget is short, protect it with an approved panel or shutter instead and come back to it later. Do not replace sound aluminum on a detached garage or a shed, and do not buy a rated aluminum unit without reading its U-factor and solar numbers off the label yourself.
Permits go to the City of Palm Bay or Brevard County by address. Florida's exempt-work list runs to portable heaters, minor gas parts, cooling units and stopped drains, and never once mentions windows or glazing.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum window replacement
The difference between aluminum window replacement that lasts and aluminum window replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with nine-pound large-missile impact testing, cyclic pressure loading to ASTM E1886, polyvinyl butyral and ionoplast interlayers, Florida Product Approval numbers, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Palm Bay job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in south Brevard County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
