Why Homeowners Across Florida Are Switching to the Norandex Perfexion Platinum Series

How One Exclusive Line of Windows Redefines Strength, Style, and Peace of Mind Across the Sunshine State

Let’s face it—Florida homeowners have seen a lot of window brands come and go. πŸŒ€ But every once in a while, a product line shows up that genuinely changes the game. That’s the Norandex Perfexion Platinum Series — a window system that doesn’t just “check the boxes” for performance; it rewrites what homeowners expect from quality, design, and long-term peace of mind.

At Windoor Retro Professionals, we’re thrilled (and a bit proud 😎) to say that we’ve partnered with one of the very few exclusive Norandex Platinum dealers in Florida. That means you won’t find this product at your local big-box store or through an average installer—it’s a professional-grade, contractor-only window line reserved for elite partners who meet the highest installation standards.

So, grab a glass of sweet tea 🍹 and settle in. We’re about to explore everything that makes this series special—from its Simonton heritage to its jaw-dropping glass breakage warranty—and why homeowners from Ocala to Orlando, from Crystal River to Tavares, are choosing Perfexion Platinum for their forever homes.


πŸ—οΈ The Legacy Behind the Name: Norandex, Simonton & Cornerstone Building Brands

Before we get into the nuts and bolts (and glass and frames), it helps to understand where this window line comes from.

Norandex has been a trusted name in exterior building products for over 75 years, known primarily for their siding and professional-grade distribution network. They don’t just “sell windows”—they curate them from some of the industry’s most respected manufacturers. Enter Simonton Windows & Doors, one of America’s most recognized vinyl window manufacturers and now part of the Cornerstone Building Brands family.

What does that mean? It means the Perfexion Platinum Series is not just a private-label window. It’s a custom-engineered version of Simonton’s top-tier technology—built with the same premium vinyl compound, heavy-duty hardware, and precision welds that made Simonton a household name.

So when you see “Norandex Perfexion Platinum,” you’re looking at Simonton’s DNA inside a line designed exclusively for professional contractors. That’s like getting a luxury car with a race-tuned engine—it looks refined on the outside but performs like a beast under pressure. πŸŽοΈπŸ’¨


πŸͺŸ Impact vs. Non-Impact: Built for Florida’s Every Forecast

In Florida, window shopping isn’t just about style—it’s about survival. Let’s break down what makes the Perfexion Platinum Series such a versatile option for both inland and coastal homeowners.

πŸ’ͺ Non-Impact Windows

For areas like Ocala, Summerfield, The Villages, and Hernando, the non-impact Perfexion Platinum window delivers top-tier performance without the hurricane glass price tag. They’re engineered with:

  • 🧱 Multi-chambered vinyl frames for insulation and rigidity
  • πŸ’¨ DP ratings that exceed local code requirements
  • πŸͺŸ Dual-pane, argon-filled Low-E glass for energy efficiency
  • 🌑️ Fusion-welded corners for a permanent weather-tight seal
  • πŸ”’ Reinforced meeting rails that prevent sash flexing and air leaks

These windows are ideal for homeowners seeking quieter, more efficient homes—without sacrificing aesthetics or performance. You’ll notice the difference immediately: lower energy bills, less street noise, and a tighter, more comfortable interior atmosphere.

πŸŒ€ Impact Windows

For coastal and high-wind areas like Crystal River, Hudson, and Orlando, Norandex offers the Perfexion Platinum Impact Series —a beast of a window that meets and exceeds Florida’s toughest building codes.

  • 🧩 Laminated glass system with an interlayer that resists shattering even under extreme impact
  • πŸŒͺ️ DP and TAS-tested frames engineered for hurricane zones
  • 🧰 Heavy-duty hardware rated for both structural and pressure loads
  • πŸ”₯ Energy Star® certification and UV-blocking technology

In a hurricane scenario, the glass may crack under pressure, but the interlayer holds everything together, keeping the envelope sealed and your family safe. It’s like having a silent guardian standing watch during storm season. πŸ›‘οΈ

And because this window line is part of the Simonton manufacturing ecosystem, the precision is unmatched. Every screw, weld, and seal is tested for resilience, energy retention, and wind performance. Whether you live in Citrus Springs or right on the coast, you’re covered—literally.


πŸ’Ž The Aesthetic Edge: Style Meets Substance

Let’s be honest: performance means nothing if the windows look like they came out of a 1990s warehouse catalog. Fortunately, Norandex and Simonton nailed the design game too. πŸ–ΌοΈ

The Perfexion Platinum line offers multiple styles, including:

  • 🏑 Double Hung and Single Hung windows
  • πŸŒ… Horizontal sliders for wide views
  • πŸͺŸ Picture and geometric shapes for custom architecture
  • 🌬️ Casement and awning options for modern designs
  • πŸšͺ Matching patio and French doors for cohesive aesthetics

Each unit features a smooth, low-profile sash and frame design that maximizes glass area and natural light. You get the strength of impact-rated construction with the visual clarity of a high-end designer window.

In upscale communities like The Villages, Hudson, and Springfield, homeowners love how these windows complement Mediterranean, ranch, and contemporary styles alike. You’ll see more light, less frame, and a seamless look that feels custom-made for your home.


🧰 The Heart of It All: Norandex’s Exclusive Warranty

Okay—now let’s talk about what really sets this line apart: the warranty. Because if you’ve ever owned vinyl windows before, you already know that a warranty is only as good as the company behind it. Thankfully, Norandex and Simonton deliver one of the most comprehensive protection plans in the entire industry.

πŸ”’ Lifetime Transferable Warranty

Every Perfexion Platinum Series window comes with a lifetime transferable warranty that covers frame, sash, hardware, and glass defects for as long as you own your home—and even transfers to the next homeowner. That alone can increase property value in markets like Ocala, Summerfield, and Tavares, where buyers want long-term confidence and verifiable product coverage.

πŸ’₯ The Glass Breakage Warranty: One-of-a-Kind Protection

Here’s where it gets fun—and rare. The Perfexion Platinum Series includes a glass breakage warranty that covers accidental glass breakage. 😲

That means if a baseball flies through your window, or debris hits it during a storm, or even if something unexpected cracks your insulated glass unit—Norandex has you covered. They’ll replace the glass, not just repair it, and they don’t prorate it over time.

This is not standard in the window industry. Most manufacturers stop at seal failure coverage; some charge inspection fees or replacement costs. Norandex simply says: “We’ve got you.” πŸ’ͺ

πŸͺŸ The Screen Warranty (Yes, They Thought of That Too)

Ever had a brand-new screen tear the first time you open your window? Norandex includes a lifetime screen warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. If the frame warps, the corners crack, or the screen mesh fails under normal use, they replace it. No fine print. No “you installed it wrong” loopholes.

For homeowners in Hernando or Crystal River who love open-air ventilation and rely on screens year-round, that’s a huge bonus.


🌞 Energy Efficiency That Pays You Back

We’re in Florida—where your AC unit earns more overtime than a postal worker in July. β˜€οΈ That’s why energy performance matters just as much as storm protection.

The Perfexion Platinum Series features:

  • πŸ’Ž Low-E glass coatings that reflect infrared heat while letting natural light in
  • 🧊 Argon gas fills between panes to reduce conduction
  • 🚫 Thermally welded frames for airtight seals
  • 🌿 ENERGY STAR® certifications across most configurations

In cities like Ocala, Orlando, and Hudson, where energy costs are rising, homeowners see immediate returns on efficiency. The reduced solar gain keeps interiors cooler, while advanced seals prevent leaks that can overwork your HVAC system. It’s like giving your home an energy-saving exoskeleton. 🦾


πŸšͺ Exclusivity That Matters: Only a Few Dealers in Florida

Here’s a little-known fact: the Norandex Perfexion Platinum Series isn’t available to just anyone. This line is exclusive —offered only through a limited network of verified dealers and contractors who meet Norandex’s strict installation and service standards.

That’s why Windoor Retro Professionals is proud to be partnered with one of the select Norandex distributors in Florida. We’ve earned that relationship through integrity, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

So while other contractors in Orlando or The Villages might quote similar “impact vinyl windows,” they’re often offering lower-grade alternatives without the same warranty, material quality, or exclusive support network.

In short: this isn’t your average window line—and we’re not your average installer. πŸš€


🏑 The Florida Advantage: Built for Our Climate, Not Against It

From the rolling greens of Summerfield to the waterfront homes of Crystal River and Hudson, Florida homeowners face unique challenges—humidity, UV exposure, high winds, and sudden storms. The Perfexion Platinum Series doesn’t just survive in these conditions; it thrives.

Why? Because its vinyl frames are engineered to resist warping and fading under direct sunlight, and its hardware components are corrosion-resistant—a must-have in coastal or humid environments.

Plus, each impact model is independently tested for water infiltration, structural load, and forced entry resistance. That’s right: the same features that keep wind and rain out also make these windows harder to break into. πŸ•΅οΈ‍♂️


🧱 Installation Quality: Where Windoor Retro Professionals Shines

Even the best window in the world can fail if it’s installed wrong. That’s why Windoor Retro Professionals goes far beyond “standard installation.”

  • πŸͺš We use premium sealants and flashing tapes approved by manufacturers
  • πŸ”© We anchor frames per Florida Building Code and engineer specifications
  • πŸ“Έ We document every step for your warranty record
  • 🧾 We handle permitting and inspection scheduling with your local jurisdiction

From Ocala to Tavares, we’ve built a reputation for precision. Our workmanship warranty— 15 years on labor—complements Norandex’s product warranty, giving you double coverage and total peace of mind.


πŸ’¬ What Homeowners Are Saying

We’ve heard it firsthand from homeowners across Citrus Springs, Hernando, and Springfield:

“It’s like I bought a luxury car for my walls.”
“You can’t hear the traffic anymore—it’s whisper quiet.”
“I didn’t realize how much sunlight I was missing until now.”

That’s the Perfexion difference: more beauty, less noise, better protection, and real, tangible comfort every single day.


πŸ“ˆ The Investment That Pays You Back

Here’s the part that surprises most people: because these windows improve both energy efficiency and home safety, they can qualify for insurance discounts and energy tax credits.

Between the energy savings, improved resale value, and lifetime coverage, it’s one of the few home upgrades that literally pays for itself over time. πŸ’°

So whether you’re remodeling in Summerfield, upgrading in The Villages, or hurricane-proofing your home in Orlando, the math—and the peace of mind—both make sense.


🌟 Why Windoor Retro Professionals Recommends the Perfexion Platinum Series

Because we’ve seen it all. We’ve replaced windows from nearly every brand you can name, and when it comes to balancing cost, performance, and beauty, nothing checks the boxes like Norandex Perfexion Platinum.
