In Delray Beach's historic districts, a replacement window should match the original's trim, material, frame size and shape, and reveal. We install Florida Product Approval impact windows that meet that bar.
Delray Beach has five local historic districts: Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, West Settlers, Nassau Park, and Marina. Permits there come with a Historic Preservation Building Permit Acknowledgement that speaks to windows directly.
The rule of thumb is repair first. If a historic window cannot be repaired, the replacement should match the original's trim, material, frame size and shape, and reveal. Exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the board or staff, and the permit itself runs through the city's eServices portal.
When a historic window cannot be repaired, Delray asks that the replacement match the original's trim, material, frame size and shape, and reveal.
