Florida’s coastlines are beautiful, but they’re also brutal on homes. From scorching heat and relentless humidity to hurricane-force winds and salt-laden air, the environment along Florida’s Gulf Coast—including places like Pensacola, Fort Myers, and Sarasota—is tough. That’s exactly why Renewal by Andersen developed their exclusive Fibrex® material—to stand up to Florida’s harshest conditions without warping, fading, or cracking.¹
At the heart of every Renewal by Andersen window is Fibrex® composite material, designed to outperform traditional options like wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Fibrex® material was engineered to resist everything Florida’s coastal environment throws at it—scorching UV rays, moisture, salt corrosion, and wild weather swings. It doesn’t rot like wood, warp like vinyl, or conduct heat like aluminum. Instead, it maintains its strength, stability, and finish for years.¹
Florida homes are constantly put to the test, especially along the coastline. Windows in these areas are exposed to salt spray and sun nearly every day of the year. That kind of exposure quickly breaks down ordinary window materials. But real-life tests in homes throughout Florida show that Fibrex® material resists cracking, blistering, peeling, and fading—even after years of intense weather.¹ Homeowners appreciate that the color stays rich and consistent, and the windows continue to function and seal properly, no matter what the weather does outside.
Fibrex® material also plays a critical role in protecting homes from Florida’s severe storms. Renewal by Andersen’s Acclaim Impact Windows are specifically built to meet strict building codes in storm-prone areas. These windows combine the toughness of Fibrex® material with specialized glass that helps protect your home during hurricanes, reducing the risk of damage and eliminating the need for extra storm shutters. And because each window is custom-made for your home, the fit is precise, improving both performance and appearance.
Energy efficiency is another big advantage. Florida’s heat and sun can drive energy bills through the roof. But Fibrex® material insulates 700 times better than aluminum, helping to block heat from entering your home. When paired with High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass, the result is a window system that keeps interiors cooler in summer, filters out harmful UV rays, and improves year-round comfort. Many homeowners report lower energy bills, better climate control, and even less outside noise.
Every Renewal by Andersen window is custom-built, professionally installed, and backed by a strong limited warranty. Whether you live in a beachside cottage in Fort Myers or a modern coastal home in Sarasota or Pensacola, Renewal by Andersen can tailor a solution that fits your needs, your style, and your local weather challenges.
Don’t wait for the next big storm to test your windows. Protect your home today with Fibrex® material windows built to last in Florida’s toughest environments. Contact Renewal by Andersen of the Gulf Coast—including Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Pensacola—for your free in-home consultation.
