Fine sand acts as an abrasive, getting into tracks and further compromising airtight seals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Climate Control Goals:<\/strong> In a coastal home, the goal is two-fold: keeping the cool air-conditioned air inside during blistering summers and keeping high humidity out year-round to prevent mold and discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Energy Efficiency:<\/strong> High sun exposure can turn your home into an oven.

Double or triple-pane windows with <strong>Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings<\/strong> are essential for reflecting infrared light and blocking UV rays that fade furniture and heat interiors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gas Fills:<\/strong> High-performance windows often use Argon or Krypton gas between the panes.
