ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION
WILLIAM P. DIMITROULEAS, District Judge.
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification, filed herein on March 3, 2008. [DE-112], The Court has carefully considered the Motion, Defendant Jeld-Wen’s April 7, 2008 Notice of No Position [DE-145], Third-Party Defendant Reiehhold’s April 2, 2008 Response [DE-138], Third-Party Defendant Glasslam’s April 2, 2008 Response [DE-140], Plaintiffs’ April 18, 2008 Reply [DE-153], Reichhold’s May 2, 2008 Sur-Reply [DE-161], and is otherwise fully advised in the premises.
I. BACKGROUND
A. Factual History
The instant action stems from a lengthy path of litigation revolving around glass products and resin. The Court will provide the extensive history in order to provide proper context for its ruling on the Motion for Class Certification.
Plaintiffs are Florida residents who purchased “hurricane proof’ impact-resistant windows and glass doors from Defendant Jeld-Wen. Defendant Jeld-Wen Inc. (“Jeld-Wen”) is an Oregon corporation that is in the business of manufacturing and selling glass products, including laminated glass. From 1997 to 2003, Jeld-Wen’s Pozzi and Caradco divisions manufactured wood windows and doors incorporating laminated, hurricane-resistant glass products, which were made using the “Safety-Plus” system developed and licensed by Third-Party Defendant Nebula Glass International, Inc. d/b/a Glasslam N.G.I., Inc. (“Glasslam”).
Third-Party Defendant Glasslam is a Florida corporation that supplies licensee and nonlicensee customers with raw materials and instructions to produce various laminated glass products. Laminated glass is generally made by sandwiching resin and a thin film between two pieces of glass. Glasslam licenses its patented process, called “Safety Plus I”, for making impact-resistant laminated glass.
[688]*688In 1996, Glasslam commenced a business relationship with Third-Party Defendant Reiehhold, Inc. (“Reichhold”). Reichhold is a Delaware corporation, with manufacturing plants in Florida, that produces resin for various applications. During the course of their relationship, Reichhold supplied Glass-lam with drums of resin through a distributor, Polygard. Glasslam used some of the resin but sold the remainder to its customers. Reichhold supplied Glasslam with three different resins in the following order (though sales of all three resins overlapped): (1) Resin 32038; (2) Resin 32029; and (3) Resin 32038-45. Glasslam discovered in October 2001 that Reichhold had been making its resin without Tinuvin 328, an ultra-violet light absorber Glasslam had required. The parties’ business relationship terminated in approximately December 2001, and no other resin was sold by Reichhold to Glasslam after that time. Glasslam continued to sell Reich-hold resin to its customers through February 2002, though it added Tinuvin to all Reich-hold resin sold to third parties.
One of the customers to whom Glasslam sold Reiehhold resin was Defendant Jeld-Wen. In June 1997, Glasslam and Jeld-Wen had entered into an agreement wherein Glasslam licensed its Safety-Plus system to Jeld-Wen and agreed to sell Safety-Plus products for the manufacturing of laminated impact-resistant glass at Jeld-Wen’s Pozzi facility. In August 1998, Cardinal IG Company (“Cardinal”), a Minnesota corporation, also entered into a contract with Glasslam for the licensing rights to make, use, and sell the resin and Safety-Plus products. Jeld-Wen and Cardinal then purchased resins from Glasslam under the terms of their Agreements. Jeld-Wen incorporated the resins in the manufacture of impact-resistant glass for use in hurricane-prone regions. Cardinal manufactured, and sold to Jeld-Wen, Safety Plus glass containing the resin. When prepared properly, the impact resistant glass was meant to perform for at least ten years. However, Jeld-Wen began receiving complaints from customers as to failures in the laminated glass — the glass was delaminating and discoloring. Glasslam has since admitted that the resin is defective, due to the absence of Tinuvin and because the resin was “undercooked.”
B. Procedural History
1, Glasslam I
On April 5, 2002, Glasslam filed a complaint against Reichhold in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, which Reieh-hold removed to federal court on May 22, 2002. Nebula Glass Int’l, Inc. v. Reichhold, Inc., 02-60703-CIV-DMITROULEAS (S.D. Fla. filed May 22, 2002) (hereinafter “Glass-lam, I ”). On May 23, 2002, Glasslam filed an Amended Complaint in Glasslam I asserting claims for: (I) Breach of Contract; (II) Breach of Express Warranty; (III) Breach of Implied Warranty; (TV) Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose; and (V) Fraud. Primarily, Glass-lam’s Amended Complaint alleged that Glass-lam required Reichhold to insert an ultraviolet light blocker called “Tinuvin 328” in the resin supplied by Reichhold. Glasslam contended that the absence, or incorrect percentage, of Tinuvin causes various problems including the decreased efficiency of hurricane resistant laminated glass. Glasslam contended that as a proximate result of Reichhold not supplying resin in accordance with Glasslam’s specifications, Glasslam suffered known damages to several projects, a loss of business, and potential exposure for faulty glass.
On December 3, 2002, this Court granted Reiehhold’s motion to dismiss Counts IV and V of the Amended Complaint in Glasslam I. The Court dismissed the fraud count based on Florida’s economic loss rule and the implied warranty for a particular purpose count based on insufficient allegations of Glasslam’s reliance on Reichhold’s skill and judgment. See Glasslam I, 02-60703-CTV (S.D.Fla. Dec. 3, 2002) [DE-14]. A jury trial on Plaintiffs remaining claims for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, and breach of implied warranty was held before this Court in May 2004. The jury found in favor of Plaintiff on all three counts and awarded damages for each of the three Reichhold resins at issue for out-of-pocket expenses, unpaid customers claims for future replace[689]*689ment of laminated glass, and lost profits. The Court entered final judgment for Plaintiff in the amount of $22,500,000.00. Reich-hold appealed the final judgment on the issue of damages only. On June 30, 2006, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment. See Nebula Glass Int’l Inc. v. Reichhold, Inc., 454 F.3d 1203 (11th Cir. 2006).
2. Glasslam II
Glasslam filed another Complaint against Reichhold on April 29, 2005, asserting claims for: (I) Breach of Contract; (II) Breach of Express Warranty; (III) Breach of Implied Warranty; (IV) Fraud; (V) Negligent Misrepresentation; and (VI) Fraud in the Inducement, alleging facts identical to those in Glasslam I. See Nebula Glass Int’l, Inc. v. Reichhold, Inc., Case No. 05-60704-CIV-DIMITROULEAS (S.D. Fla. filed Apr. 29, 2005) (hereinafter “Glasslam II”). In that case, Glasslam sought damages in addition to those awarded in Glasslam I for claims that were not yet ripe at the time that Glasslam I was filed. In Glasslam II, Glasslam argued that Reichhold was collaterally estopped from relitigating Counts I, II, and III based on the final judgment in Glasslam I. Reich-hold argued that it was not estopped from litigating those counts based on changed factual circumstances. The Court agreed, in part, and held that the parties could not relitigate the breach elements of Glasslam’s claims but could litigate causation and themes of bad installation and bad fabrication based on changed factual circumstances. See Glasslam II, Case No. 05-60704-CIV (S.D.Fla. Oct. 30, 2006) [DE-108], Prior to trial in Glasslam H, the parties reached a settlement agreement in that action.
3. Jeld-Wen I
On May 26, 2005, Jeld-Wen filed a Complaint against Defendants Glasslam and Cardinal IG Company (“Cardinal”). Jeld-Wen filed its Third Amended Complaint on December 1, 2006. [DE-117], in which it asserted claims for: (I) Breach of Contract; (II) Breach of Express Warranty; (III) Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability; (IV) Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose; (V) Unjust Enrichment; (VI) Fraud; and (VII) Claim of Indemnity against Glasslam. See Jeld-Wen, Inc. v. Nebula Glass International, Inc., Case No. 05-60860-CIV-DMITROULEAS (S.D. Fla. filed May 26, 2005) (hereinafter “Jeld-Wen I”). Jeld-Wen voluntarily dismissed Cardinal from the action on January 30,2007. [DE-165],
On December 9, 2005, Glasslam filed a Third-Party Complaint in Jeld-Wen I against Third-Party Defendant Reichhold. In the Third-Party Complaint (Amended by Interlineation), Glasslam alleged claims for the following: (I) Breach of Contract; (II) Breach of Express Warranty; (III) Breach of Implied Warranty; (TV) Fraud; (V) Negligent Misrepresentation; (VI) Fraud in the Inducement; and (VII) Indemnity; and (VIII) Contribution1. In the Third-Party Complaint, Glasslam alleged facts almost identical to those alleged in Glasslam II.
In ruling on the parties’ motions for partial summary judgment, this Court ruled that collateral estoppel precluded the re-litigation as to whether the resin was defective. Causation again remained an issue however, in terms of actual damages for the windows at issue. See Jeld-Wen I, Case No. 05-60860-CIV (S.D.Fla. May 15, 2007) [DE-305], A trial was conducted in June 2007, however, this Court has since granted Jeld-Wen’s Motion for a New Trial pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(3). [DE-489; DE-508]. Therefore, the homes at issue in Jeld-Wen I will be retried, in a consolidated trial with claims brought in the subsequent case, discussed below.
4. Jeld-Wen II
On September 5, 2007, Jeld-Wen brought an action seeking damages for the claims that were not adjudicated in Jeldr-Wen I and for claims assigned by Cardinal. See Jeld-Wen, Inc. v. Nebula Glass International Inc., et al, Case No. 07-22326-CIV-DIMI-[690]*690TROULEAS (S.D. Fla. filed Sept. 5, 2007) (hereinafter “Jeldr-Wen II”). In its Second Amended Complaint filed on January 28, 2008 [DE-112], Jeld-Wen brought claims against Glasslam for (I) Breach of Contract; (H) Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability; (HI) Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose; (IV) Unjust Enrichment; (VIII) Constructive Trust; (DC) Equitable Lien; (XIII) Implied Contractual Indemnity; and (XIV) Breach of Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Jeld-Wen also brought claims against Glass-lam and Reichhold for (V) Innocent Misrepresentation; (VI) Negligent Misrepresentation and Non-Disclosure; (VH) Fraud; (X) Equitable Subrogation; (XI) Equitable Assignment; and (XII) Equitable Indemnity. In addition, Jeld-Wen brought claims against Stephen Howes, the President and owner of Glasslam, for: (XV) Alter Ego/Piercing the Corporate Veil and (XVI) Unjust Enrichment, as well as (XX) Restitution of Royalties against Glasslam and Howes. Finally, Jeld-Wen brought claims for (XVII) Declaratory Judgment as to the Invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 5,778,629; (XVIII) Declaratory Judgment as to the Invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 5,937,611; and (XIX) Declaratory Judgment as to the Invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 6,101,783.2
Glasslam filed a cross-claim against Reich-hold on March 7, 2008, bringing claims for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty, indemnification and contribution.
On May 1, 2008, this Court granted Reich-hold’s Motion to Dismiss in part. Case No. 07-22326-CIV (S.D.Fla. May 1, 2008) [DE-371]. Counts V (Innocent Misrepresentation); X (Equitable Subrogation); XI (Equitable Assignment); and XII (Equitable Indemnity) of Jeld-Wen’s Second Amended Complaint were dismissed against Reichhold for failure to state a claim. Only Jeld-Wen’s claims for negligent misrepresentation and fraud remain as to Defendant Reichhold. In this Court’s Order of June 5, 2008 on the parties’ Motions for Summary Judgment, Counts IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XI, XIII, and XIV against Glasslam were dismissed, leaving only Counts I — III, X and XII. Case No. 07-22326-CIV (S.D. Fla. June 5, 2008) [DE-526]. In addition, this Court yet again held that liability had been established, but that the issues of actual causation of damages remained to be proven at trial, on both Jeld-Wen and Glasslam’s breach of contract and warranty claims. The Court also ruled that Glasslam and Reichhold’s defenses based on Jeld-Wen’s customer warranties were barred. The Court noted that the homeowners were not joined in the action to present grounds for invalidating the warranties, that Jeld-Wen itself had raised the possible grounds of invalidity, and that judicial estop-pel precluded Glasslam from asserting warranties as a defense. As stated in the Order, this ruling also encompassed arguments as to second homeowners and the limited remedies afforded by the warranties — thus, payments above the terms of the warranties, such as for installation and labor, are not available as an affirmative defense by Reichhold and Glasslam in that action to decrease recovery. Particularly relevant to the instant action, the Court further indicated that based on this ruling, Jeld-Wen would be estopped from asserting its customer warranties as a defense in related actions brought by customers.
5. Jones v. Jeld-Wen
Plaintiffs, customers of Jeld-Wen, filed the instant action on August 14, 2007 in the Circuit Court of Miami-Dade County, which Defendant Jeld-Wen removed on September 5, 2007. [DE-1], Plaintiffs filed an Amended Class Action Complaint (“Complaint”) on January 8, 2008. [DE-83]. In the Complaint, Plaintiffs indicate their homes contain Jeld-Wen impact resistant windows and glass doors, manufactured with resin supplied by Glasslam and glass products supplied by Cardinal.3 The named Plaintiffs are Suzanne Jones, a resident of Miami-Dade County, [691]*691Les and Lauren Rosen, residents of Palm Beach County, and Dean and Lisa Sacerdote, residents of Martin County.
According to the Complaint, Jeld-Wen knew or should have known that the windows and glass doors were not suitable for residential or commercial use and that the windows were subject to fail due to defective resin and/or a uniform design defect. The Complaint further alleges that Jeld-Wen, upon learning of the defect, should have disclosed this to its customers and fully compensated them for all damages arising from the defect. The Complaint further indicates that though Jeld-Wen has offered to provide new windows and doors to some customers, it is holding customers responsible for the installation costs. For example, the Sacerdote’s windows were replaced by Jeld-Wen, but they had to pay the labor and installation charges. The Complaint brings claims for (I) Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability; (II) Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose; (III) Violation of Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act; and (IV) Unjust Enrichment. This Court has jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
On January 18, 2008, Jeld-Wen, on its own behalf and on behalf of the rights assigned by Cardinal, filed a Third-Party Complaint against Glasslam and Reichhold. Jeld-Wen brings claims for (I) Breach of Contract against Glasslam; (II) Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability against Glass-lam; (III) Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose against Glasslam; (IV) Indemnity against Glasslam and (V) against Reichhold; (VI) Contribution against Glasslam and (VII) against Reieh-hold; (VIII) Equitable Indemnity against Glasslam and (DC) against Reichhold; and (X) Implied Contractual Indemnity against Glasslam.
II. DISCUSSION
Plaintiffs seek class certification pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a) and (b)(3). The class is defined in two subclasses:
Subclass A: consisting of all persons and entities in the State of Florida who purchased impact-resistant Pozzi or Caradco windows and/or glass doors and have not been offered replacement windows and/or glass doors by Defendant.
Subclass B: All persons and entities in the State of Florida who purchased impact-resistant Pozzi or Caradco windows and/or glass doors and were offered replacement windows and/or glass doors by Defendant but had to pay labor and/or installation charges.
A. Initial Issues
1. Objections to the Class
First, the Court notes that Defendant Jeld-Wen filed a Notice of No Position on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification. However, third-party Defendants Reichhold and Glasslam filed Responses in Opposition to the Motion. Plaintiff argues that they are third-party defendants from whom they do not seek damages and thus they lack standing to oppose the Motion. Plaintiffs also argue that as they have not yet filed an answer, they are not yet adverse and cannot assert defenses against the Plaintiffs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 14. Plaintiffs assert that though they still bear the burden to satisfy the requisite class criteria, substantial weight should be afforded to Jeld-Wen’s failure to oppose the motion. However, the Court does not find it significant that Jeld-Wen does not oppose the instant motion. Though it may be easier for Jeld-Wen to defend in one class action, which may have led to its non-objection, this does not overcome the individualized issues pertaining to its customer’s claims. Regardless of the Third-Party Defendants’ arguments, Plaintiffs have failed to satisfy then-burden for class certification, as discussed below.
2. Appropriate Class Definition
As an initial matter, the Court must address the proposed class definition. See e.g., O’Neill v. The Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., 243 F.R.D. 469, 477 (S.D.Fla.2006); Perez v. Metabolife Int'l., Inc., 218 F.R.D. 262, 269 (S.D.Fla.2003); Rink v. Cheminova, Inc., 203 F.R.D. 648, 660 (M.D.Fla.2001). Third-Party Defendant Reichhold argues that deter[692]*692mining the membership in the class itself involves intricate individual issues — such as whether the homeowner has windows and doors with Reichhold resin, whether they were an original homeowner under the warranty claims, whether they had voluntarily contracted to pay labor and/or installation charges to be in Subclass B, and whether the glass failed due to the defective resin. Plaintiffs argue that the Court could simply appoint a special master to identify class members by overseeing a claims process. Jeld-Wen’s records could also be used to ascertain whether the product contains the defective Reichhold resin.
Here, the class definition may demonstrate potential problems with certifying the instant action as a class action. See O’Neill, 243 F.R.D. at 478. Though the warranty issues are no longer present, ascertaining whether the resin in question was present in a homeowner’s products would need to be determined for each potential class member. However, as Plaintiffs point out, records may address these problems. As the Court discusses below, however, there are additional issues that further demonstrate that the instant action is not suitable for a class action.
B. Rule 23(a)
Parties seeking class action certification must satisfy the four requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a), commonly referred to as numerosity, commonality, typicality and adequacy of representation.4 Am-chern Prods. Inc. v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591, 613, 117 S.Ct. 2231, 138 L.Ed.2d 689 (1997). Parties moving for class certification bear the burden of establishing each element of Rule 23(a). London v. Wal-Mart Stores, 340 F.3d 1246, 1253 (11th Cir.2003). If the party seeking class certification fails to demonstrate any single requirement, then the case may not continue as a class action. Jones v. Roy, 202 F.R.D. 658, 662 (M.D.Ala.2001). Specifically, the four requirements of Rule 23(a) are:
(1) the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable;
(2) there are questions of law or fact common to the class;
(3) the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class; and
(4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(a).
In deciding whether to certify a class, a district court has broad discretion. Washington v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 959 F.2d 1566, 1569 (11th Cir.1992). Although a district court is not to determine the merits of a case at the certification stage, sometimes “it may be necessary for the court to probe behind the pleadings before coming to rest on the certification question.” Id. at 1570 n. 11 (quoting General Tel. Co. v. Falcon, 457 U.S. 147, 160, 102 S.Ct. 2364, 72 L.Ed.2d 740 (1982)). A class action may only be certified if the court is satisfied, after a rigorous analysis, that the prerequisites of Rule 23 have been met. Gilchrist v. Bolger, 733 F.2d 1551, 1555 (11th Cir.1984). For the reasons discussed below, the Court is not satisfied, after the rigorous analysis, that the requirements for a class action have been met.
1. Numerosity
The first requirement of Rule 23(a) is that the class must be “so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable.” Fed. R.Civ.P. 23(a)(1). The focus of the numerosity inquiry is not whether the number of proposed class members is “too few” to satisfy the Rule, but “whether joinder of proposed class members is impractical.” Armstead v. Pingree, 629 F.Supp. 273, 279 [693]*693(M.D.Fla.1986). Parties seeking class certification do not need to know the “precise number of class members,” but they “must make reasonable estimates with support as to the size of the proposed class.” Fuller v. Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., 197 F.R.D. 697, 699 (M.D.Fla.2000). The Eleventh Circuit has held that “[generally, less than twenty-one is inadequate, more than forty adequate.” Cheney v. Cyberguard Corp., 213 F.R.D. 484, 490 (S.D.Fla.2003) (quoting Cox v. Am. Cast Iron Pipe Co., 784 F.2d 1546, 1553 (11th Cir. 1986)). Thus, the “sheer number of potential class members may warrant a conclusion that Rule 23(a)(1) is satisfied.” LaBauve v. Olin Corp., 231 F.R.D. 632, 665 (S.D.Ala.2005) (citing Bacon v. Honda ofAmer. Mfg., Inc., 370 F.3d 565, 570 (6th Cir.2004)). Plaintiffs’ alleged class consists of all Florida residents who purchased impact resistant Pozzi or Car-adeo windows and/or glass doors. Glasslam and Reichhold do not dispute that therefore, approximately 29,000 units of glass may be at issue. Accordingly, the Court finds that nu-merosity is satisfied.
2. Commonality
Rule 23(a)’s commonality prerequisite requires at least one issue common to all members of the class. However, it “does not require that all of the questions of law or fact raised by the case be common to all the plaintiffs.” Walco Invs., Inc. v. Thenen, 168 F.R.D. 315, 325 (S.D.Fla.1996). The commonality element is generally satisfied when a plaintiff alleges that “[djefendants have engaged in a standardized course of conduct that affects all class members.” In re Tera-zosin Hydrochloride, 220 F.R.D. 672, 687 (S.D.Fla.2004); Agan v. Katzman & Korr, P.A., 222 F.R.D. 692, 697 (S.D.Fla.2004); In re AmeriFirst Sec. Litig., 139 F.R.D. 423, 428 (S.D.Fla.1991). However, “a class action must involve issues that are susceptible to class-wide proof.” Cooper v. Southern Co., 390 F.3d 695, 713 (11th Cir.2004) (quoting Murray v. Auslander, 244 F.3d 807, 811 (11th Cir.2001)).
As Plaintiffs note, there are common questions of law and fact that have previously been established in prior litigations. For example, Plaintiffs assert that it has previously been established that the Reichhold resin was defective. However, as was also consistently held by this Court in those cases, individual factual issues as to the issues of causation remain as to each piece of glass.5 Though there may be common issues based on the allegations in the Complaint, such as whether Jeld-Wen knew or should have known of the defective resin, there are other issues that are not common to the class. However, as the essential focus of this requirement is on whether there is at least a single core common issue and it is not a stringent requirement, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have satisfied this requirement. See e.g., LaBauve, 231 F.R.D. at 667(“com-monality requirement is not a stringent threshold”). The actions surrounding the resin and the glass products provide the uniform course of conduct directed at all potential class members.
3. Typicality
Typicality requires that “the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(a)(3). Although similar to commonality in that it concentrates on the “nexus” between class members and the named class representative, typicality differs from commonality in that it focuses on the named class representative’s individual characteristics in comparison to the proposed class. Piazza v. EBSCO Indus. Co., 273 F.3d 1341, 1346 (11th Cir.2001); Prado-Steiman v. Bush, 221 F.3d 1266, 1269 (11th Cir.2000). The purpose of requiring typicality is to ensure the advancement of the class members’ interests through the advancement of the plaintiffs own interests. In re Terazosin, 220 F.R.D. at 687. Therefore, a class representative must possess the same interest and suffer the same injury as the class members in order to be typical under Rule 23(a)(3). Murray v. Auslander, 244 F.3d [694]*694807, 811 (11th Cir.2001) (citing Prado-Steiman, 221 F.3d at 1279). The named plaintiffs claims, however, need not be identical to class members as long as the claims arise out of the same conduct and are grounded on the same legal theory. See Kornberg v. Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc., 741 F.2d 1332, 1337 (11th Cir.1984); see also CV Reit, Inc. v. Levy, 144 F.R.D. 690, 696 (S.D.Fla.1992). “The test for typicality, like commonality, is not demanding.” In re Disposable Contact Lens Antitrust Litig., 170 F.R.D. 524, 532 (M.D.Fla. 1996). To defeat typicality, the factual variation of a class representative “must be clear and must be such that interests of the class are placed in significant jeopardy.” Id. at 686.
To the extent that Plaintiffs’ claims are premised on the same conduct — such as whether Jeld-Wen knew of the defect and whether it breached its warranties, the named Plaintiffs’ claims are typical of the proposed class. The named plaintiffs claims are sufficiently typical of the proposed class’ claims and based on the same legal theories. Thus, this prong is satisfied.
4. Adequacy
Rule 23(a)(4) requires a showing that the “representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(a)(4). To adequately represent a class, a named plaintiff must show that she possesses the integrity and personal characteristics necessary to act in a fiduciary role representing the interests of the class, and has no interests antagonistic to the interests of the class. In re Ins. Mgmt. Solutions Group, Inc., 206 F.R.D. 514, 516 (M.D.Fla. 2002); see also Kirkpatrick v. J.C. Bradford & Co., 827 F.2d 718, 726 (11th Cir.1987). In addition, this may include an examination of the chosen class counsel, especially if there is a potential conflict of interest. London, 340 F.3d at 1253 (discussing cases in which class certification properly denied in instances such as a named plaintiffs brother was class counsel and named plaintiff was employee of class counsel).
Plaintiffs put forth that they have no interests antagonistic to the class and that they and their chosen counsel will vigorously represent the class. Reiehhold points out that a lawyer in one of Plaintiffs’ counsels’ firms would be a potential class member, as he owns a home containing Jeld-Wen windows with Reiehhold resin. Plaintiffs aver that said counsel “and his wife will disavow their class membership and file a formal exclusion____” Plaintiffs Reply, p. 9. The Court does not find this issue fatal to the adequacy issue. Though there was minimal showing by Plaintiffs until their Reply brief of their adequacy, the Court does not find this element dispositive in light of the further deficiencies with the proposed class action. Other than the potential conflict of one of counsel’s lawyers, Plaintiffs have demonstrated their adequacy sufficiently.
C. Rule 23(b)(3)
In addition to meeting the four requirements of Rule 23(a), parties seeking class certification must prove that the action is maintainable under one of the three subsections of Rule 23(b). Amchem Prods., 521 U.S. at 614, 117 S.Ct. 2231. Even having satisfied the Rule 23(a) requirements, a “quest for class certification would nonetheless fail absent satisfaction of one prong of Rule 23(b).” Labauve, 231 F.R.D. at 671. Here, Plaintiff seeks certification pursuant to Rule 23(b)(3). Rule 23(b)(3) requires that (1) “questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individuals members,” and (2) “that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudication the controversy.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(b)(3).
1. Predominance
“Under Rule 23(b)(3) it is not necessary that all questions of law or fact be common, but only that some questions are common and that they predominate over the individual questions.” Klay v. Humana, Inc., 382 F.3d 1241, 1254 (11th Cir.2004). Though similar to the commonality issue, the predominance requirement is “far more demanding.” Cooper, 390 F.3d at 722; see also, Jackson v. Motel 6 Multipurpose, Inc., 130 F.3d 999, 1005 (11th Cir.1997). The court’s inquiry is typically focused on “whether there [695]*695are common liability issues which may be resolved efficiently on a class-wide basis.” Brown v. SCI Funeral Servs. of Fla., 212 F.R.D. 602, 606 (S.D.Fla.2003). Issues that are subject to generalized proof and applicable to the whole class must predominate over the issues involving individualized proof. Kerr v. City of W. Palm Beach, 875 F.2d 1546, 1558 (11th Cir.1989). To conduct this inquiry, the Court must consider the cause of action and “what value the resolution of the class-wide issue will have in each member’s underlying cause of action.” Rutstein v. Avis Rent-A-Car Sys., Inc., 211 F.3d 1228, 1234 (11th Cir.2000).
The Court finds that Plaintiffs fail to satisfy this requirement. As this Court has consistently held in prior litigations, causation in regards to each claimed product remains a key determinative factor as to the legal cause of damages. For example, in Jeld-Wen I, the jury was instructed to determine whether the defective resin was a legal cause of the damages for each pane of glass, on a house by house basis. Case No. 05-60860 [DE-361; DE-362]; see also, JeldWen II, Case No. 07-22326, Order on Summary Judgment Motions [DE-526 at 13] (S.D. Fla. June 5, 2008) (“the issue of causation — the damages proximately caused by the breach and the amount of those damages — remains”); Glasslam II, 05-60704, Order on Summary Judgment Motions [DE-108 at 14-15] (S.D.Fla. Oct. 30, 2006) (“[although the jury in Glasslam I found causation for all customers in that case, there are many variables that might lead another jury to a different outcome as to the windows at issue in this ease.”). The need to determine the causation on an individualized basis precludes the ability to maintain the above-styled ease as a class action. Predominance is not present in this case, as the resolution of the common issues will “break ... down into an unmanageable variety of individual legal and factual issues.” Cooper, 390 F.3d at 722 (quoting Andrews v. Amer. Tel. & Tel. Co., 95 F.3d 1014, 1023 (11th Cir.1996)). As the Eleventh Circuit has indicated, “[w]here, after adjudication of the classwide issues, plaintiffs must still introduce a great deal of individualized proof or argue a number of individualized legal points to establish most or all of the elements of their individualized claims, such claims are not suitable for class certification under Rule 23(b)(3).” Klay, 382 F.3d at 1266. For these reasons, Plaintiffs fail to meet the predominance element and thus class certification is not warranted.
2. Superiority
Not only do Plaintiffs fail to meet the predominance requirement, they fail in demonstrating that a class action would be superior. To determine if the superiority requirement of Rule 23(b)(3) is satisfied, the Court must consider the following:
(A) the interest of members of the class in individually controlling the prosecution or defense of separate actions;
(B) the extent and nature of any litigation concerning the controversy already commenced by or against members of the class;
(C) the desirability or undesirability of concentrating the litigation of claims in the particular forum; and
(D) the difficulties likely to be encountered in the management of a class action.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(b)(3); see also, De Leon-Granados v. Eller & Sons Trees, Inc., 497 F.3d 1214, 1220 (11th Cir.2007).
The Court recognizes the desirability of concentrating homeowner claims in this particular forum, in which preliminary issues, such as the defectiveness of the resin have already been established as a matter of law. However, the Court finds that Plaintiffs fail to satisfy this requirement. Though Plaintiffs argue that the numerous requests for exclusions that have already been filed should not determine whether the class is appropriate, the Court does find the number of exclusions filed significant. Notably, as of the date of this Order, 16 individual motions to be excluded from the proposed class, should it be certified, have been filed by parties with legal representation. [DE-19; DEM9; DE-78; DE-79; DE-85; DE-86; DE-100; DE-106; DE-121; DE-131; DE-MI; DE-157; DE-162; DE-167; DE-172; DE-174]. This likely indicates that each homeowner would prefer to litigate the issues on their own. As this Court has consis[696]*696tently ruled that causation remains an individualized issue, homeowners may prefer to control the prosecution as it regards their own glass windows and doors. In fact, two separate actions by homeowners are currently before this Court. See Hammond v. Jeld-Wen, Case No. 08-80170-CIV-DIMITROU-LEAS (S.D. Fla. filed Feb. 20, 2008); Palomares v. Jeld-Wen, Case No. 08-20477-CIV-DIMITROULEAS (S.D. Fla. filed Feb. 22, 2008). In addition, the claims at issue here do not involve a de minimis sum so that an individual plaintiff would be discouraged from filing his own suit, as is demonstrated in fact by the individual actions already proceeding. See Klay, 382 F.3d at 1270 (“class actions often involve ‘an aggregation of small individual claims, where a large number of claims are required to make it economical to bring suit.’ ”) (internal citations omitted). Furthermore, the difficulties in managing the class action are great, given the predominance of the individual issues discussed above. See e.g., Metabolife, 218 F.R.D. at 273 (“Severe manageability problems are a prime consideration that can defeat a claim of superiority.”). For these reasons, the Court finds that a class action is not the superior method for addressing these claims.
III. CONCLUSION
Accordingly, for the aforementioned reasons, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification [DE-112] is hereby DENIED.
