Living in Florida means sunshine, beaches, and warm weather—but also preparing for hurricane season every year. When storms roll in, homeowners want confidence that their windows and doors can withstand the impact. That’s where Acclaim™ windows from Renewal by Andersen of Florida step in. These hurricane-rated solutions are engineered for the state’s toughest weather conditions, blending strength, style, and energy performance into one complete package.
What Florida Homeowners Should Consider
When replacing windows in Florida, impact resistance is just one factor. Homeowners also weigh:
- Hurricane preparedness – Windows must meet Florida Product Approval standards and, in coastal areas, High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements.
- Energy efficiency – With hot summers, performance ratings like U-factor (insulation) and Low-E coatings (sun-blocking glass) matter.
- Curb appeal – A replacement window should enhance the look of the home while meeting structural codes.
- Long-term value – Professional installation and a strong warranty protect your investment for decades.
These considerations make it clear why choosing the right window brand—and the right installer—matters as much as the product itself.
Cost and Value
Every Florida home is different, which means window replacement pricing is always customized. Factors like window style, frame material, glass package, and installation complexity all affect the cost. Renewal by Andersen emphasizes that while the investment varies, Acclaim™ windows deliver long-term value by protecting your home and reducing energy bills.
Because these products are engineered for Florida’s building codes, homeowners also avoid costly code compliance issues down the road. The real value comes from knowing your home is ready for the next storm without sacrificing comfort or design.
Features of Acclaim™ Impact Windows
Acclaim™ windows are specifically designed for Florida homeowners who want impact protection without compromising beauty. Key features include:
- Hurricane-readiness – Certified to meet Florida Product Approval standards, with select models tested for HVHZ requirements.
- Impact-resistant glass – Laminated panes that resist shattering even under high winds and flying debris.
- Fibrex® composite frames – A proprietary material stronger than vinyl, engineered to withstand humidity and temperature swings without warping.
- Energy-efficient glass – Low-E options that block UV rays, reduce solar heat gain, and help keep cooling costs down.

These windows aren’t just tough—they’re designed to look beautiful and last decades with minimal maintenance.
The Signature Service Process
Renewal by Andersen of Florida makes window replacement straightforward through its Signature Service approach:
- In-home consultation – A design consultant evaluates your needs, reviews style and performance options, and helps plan your project.
- Custom manufacturing – Every window is built to order for a perfect fit, ensuring optimal performance and appearance.
- Certified Master Installers – Installation is handled only by trained experts, never subcontractors, ensuring precise installation that meets Florida code.
- Industry-leading warranty – Coverage includes glass, frame, and installation. Call for details about specific terms.
This streamlined process gives homeowners peace of mind at every stage, from design to long-term service.
Permits and Building Codes
Florida has some of the strictest building codes in the nation, especially in coastal areas. Acclaim™ windows are built to comply, but homeowners should always check with local authorities to confirm permit requirements for their project. Renewal by Andersen of Florida’s team helps guide you through this process, ensuring your replacement meets all regional and municipal codes.
Grants and Incentives
Some homeowners may qualify for programs such as My Safe Florida Home, which provides grants for hurricane-hardening improvements like impact windows. Because terms change over time, check the program site for current eligibility and funding availability. A design consultant can also explain what financing and promotional options may be available.
Hurricane and Impact Readiness
Florida Product Approval ensures that Acclaim™ windows meet the state’s rigorous impact standards. In coastal counties and HVHZ zones such as Miami-Dade and Broward, additional testing confirms these windows can withstand extreme conditions.
Impact windows help protect your family and property by:
- Preventing broken glass from flying into living spaces
- Reducing the risk of roof uplift during a storm
- Maintaining structural integrity even after repeated impact
For homeowners in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Pensacola, and surrounding areas, Acclaim™ windows provide storm-season confidence backed by proven engineering.
Warranty and Long-Term Service
Renewal by Andersen of Florida stands behind its products with comprehensive warranties. Coverage applies to glass, Fibrex® frames, and installation workmanship. While specific terms vary, the warranty is designed to protect your investment for years to come—something generic contractors or out-of-state brands can’t match.
