The mullion within the second window had separated and fallen. We considered these conditions to be unsightly and distracting from the front of the house.
I moved here from New England and felt the mullions in the front window did not appeal to myself and my perception of what Florida homes should look like. I felt it was too New England looking. We both wanted a cleaner look for the front of our home.
We contracted to have the windows and eyebrows replaced with out the mullions. We also ordered a heavier glass with UV protection coating. Below is the after look of the front windows.
Close up view of the new eyebrows. This front bedroom was always the hottest room in the summer and the coldest in the winter. So far we have noticed that that room remains cooler than before and we have already had a string of 90+ degree days. The installer told me that these new windows are a better quality and more airtight than the ones removed.
Carol and I are quite happy with the new look and the quality of the windows. Eventually, we will upgrade all the windows.

Yes, I agree that your new window looks better than before. Aside from their functional advantages, the new design actually gives off a modern feel. I can only sympathize with the bad things that you’ve experienced in the past. Since summer and winter have already passed, were the new windows able to satisfy you?
Oh, changing those windows with UV protected glasses is a smart move! I can sympathize with the inconvenience that your old window brought to you due to the weather. By choosing those new windows, your days and nights will be more comfortable than before.
I must agree with Raymonde that your new windows are better than the first ones. It's because they can give you all the comfort that you need against the unpredictable change of the weather. And aside from that, you could also enjoy viewing the outdoors as the frames are no longer there.
