Living in the Florida Panhandle—whether in Pensacola, Destin, or Fort Walton Beach—means enjoying sun-drenched skies and coastal breezes nearly year-round. But with that much sunshine comes a lesser-known issue: fading interiors.
Furniture, flooring, rugs, and artwork can all suffer from prolonged UV exposure. And in many older homes, especially those without energy-efficient windows, there’s little protection between your belongings and the sun’s damaging rays.
That’s where Renewal by Andersen® of the Gulf Coast comes in—with window and door replacement solutions specifically designed to shield your interior while enhancing your home’s performance and beauty.
The Problem: UV Rays and Interior Fading
You might love the natural light that pours into your home, but UV radiation is quietly degrading your space. Over time, unfiltered sunlight causes:
- Wood floors to discolor or dry out
- Upholstery and curtains to fade
- Artwork and photos to bleach or crack
- Furniture ages prematurely
Standard window glass offers little protection from this type of damage. But Renewal by Andersen’s High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass is engineered to change that.
The Solution: SmartSun™ Glass Protection
SmartSun™ glass, one of Renewal by Andersen’s top-performing options, is ideal for coastal climates like those in the Panhandle. Here’s why:
- Blocks 95% of harmful UV rays – drastically reducing the risk of interior fading.
- Filters sunlight without sacrificing brightness—your home stays beautifully lit without the heat or damage.
- ENERGY STAR® qualified for all climate zones, including hot and humid regions like Northwest Florida.
SmartSun™ glass combines low-emissivity coatings with argon gas insulation between panes, helping keep cool air inside and heat out. That’s especially valuable during those steamy Destin or Fort Walton Beach summers when energy bills spike.
Designed for the Gulf Coast: Impact & Coastal Window Options
For homeowners concerned about storm protection, we offer Acclaim™ Impact windows, build to withstand the storm. These are ideal for hurricane-prone zones like Destin and Pensacola, offering both safety and energy efficiency.
Paired with Acclaim™ replacement windows or A-Series patio doors, you can enjoy a coastal-ready upgrade that protects your home from inside and out.
