You live in Florida. Daytime heat beats down. Nights bring cooler air, but only if your windows cooperate. If they don’t, your AC works overtime, and you wake up uncomfortable. With the right replacement windows—especially hurricane-impact types—you can get relief all day and night. Let me show you how Renewal by Andersen of Florida helps balance solar heat gain and evening cool-downs so you stay comfortable, save energy, and protect your home.
Cost and Value
Replacement window cost depends on window type, size, number of windows, materials, and features like impact glass. Renewal by Andersen offers custom pricing based on your project.
Even though premium windows cost more at the start, you get value through:
• Lower energy bills, because better glazing, frames, and sealing reduce heat gain in summer and loss at night.
• Reduced maintenance and fewer replacements—Renewal by Andersen uses Fibrex® composite material which won’t rot, corrode, or need painting.
• Increased home value: well-insulated, impact-rated windows are attractive to buyers.
• Possibly lower insurance premiums in areas where impact windows are required. Call for details.
Benefits and Features
Solar Control and Glazing Options
• Low-E or special coatings (e.g. High-Performance Low-E-4 SmartSun™ glass) reflect solar heat and UV, letting light in while reducing heat gain. Renewal by Andersen uses this kind of glazing in many products.
• Fibrex® frame material gives much better insulation than aluminum. It helps control heat flow both in and out.
Defining Key Terms
• U-Factor: how well the window resists heat flow. Lower is better for cooler nights. Call for specific U-factor numbers.
• SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient): how much solar radiation passes through. Lower SHGC helps during hot afternoons. Call for product-specific SHGC.
• Hurricane Impact Rating / DP rating: how well windows stand up to wind, pressure, debris during storms. Renewal by Andersen offers “Hurricane Impact Windows” among its product options.

Permits and Codes
Florida’s coastal areas have strict building codes, especially for hurricane zones. Impact windows often required in high-velocity hurricane zones (HVHZ). Renewal by Andersen offers Hurricane Impact Windows.
Before replacing windows, check with your local permitting office about required impact ratings, wind load ratings, DP ratings. Make sure the product you select meets local code.
Energy Efficiency
Daytime Cooling
Smart glazing + Low-E coatings reflect heat, block UV, and reduce burden on your AC. Fibrex frame adds insulation so heat doesn’t seep in through frames.
Evening Comfort
After sunset, well-sealed windows stop warm air from entering (or inside air escaping). Proper U-factor, tight weatherstripping, good construction reduce drafts or leaks. That means cooler nights without cranking AC.
Also, windows that avoid warping or gaps over time retain more consistent performance. Fibrex helps with stability in Florida’s heat and humidity.
