Advantages of Sliding Windows

Advantages of Sliding Windows | New Windows for America

A popular window style in residential homes is sliding windows. These windows have many advantages and work well with almost any space. Sliding windows typically have two or more sashes, opening left and right, or horizontally, along grooves in the frame. Some windows have a third sash as a fixed picture window, added between two sliding windows to really open the views, letting additional light in.

Single Slider Windows

Single slider windows are a more simplified version of the double slider as you slide the windows horizontally to open and close. These windows are a cost-effective solution, highly secure, and easy to clean and maintain, making these windows a practical option for many homeowners.

Double Slider Windows

These windows are common in most homes as they are easy to use and open both sides of the window allowing increased airflow into the home. Double slider windows are also low maintenance, simple to use, and easy to clean.

Benefits of Sliding Windows

Sliding windows can benefit your home in many ways. Customizing the window options with hardware finishes, insulating options, type of glass, interior and exterior colors, decorative grids, etc., are just some of the many options you can choose from.

Expansive Views

Choosing sliding windows is ideal for spaces that have a width greater than the height, optimizing natural light and outdoor views. This also reduces the need for artificial light and could cut down on utility costs.

Energy Efficient

    As there aren’t many moving parts in sliding windows, it allows them to close easily and securely. Having securely closed windows will prevent heat or cold air escape, and can reduce energy usage at home saving you money over time from your energy bills. Sliding windows also inhibit water, air filtration, and noise from the outside.

    Ventilation

    Most slider windows open fully to let in the fresh air while providing plenty of ventilation as the windows can both be open at the same time.

    Easy to Operate

    Both sashes effortlessly open horizontally as they slide back and forth, making opening the windows easier to operate. This is extremely helpful for seniors or people with limited mobility living within the house. Slider windows are a great option for difficult-to-reach places such as over the kitchen sink, as they are easy to use.

    Cleaning windows

    Window panels can lift out of the grooves, making them extremely easy to clean on both sides.

    Low Maintenance

    As sliding windows typically have fewer parts than conventional windows, which makes them low maintenance, more durable, and cost-effective for homeowners.

    Tips on The Best Way to Clean Your Windows

    Tips on The Best Way to Clean Your Windows | Denver Replacement Windows

    Even though we may get a couple of upcoming snowstorms, spring will be here before you know it! Actually, in Colorado our snowiest months are typically in March and April, however here at New Windows for America, we are thinking positively and hoping for warmer weather soon!

    Spring cleaning actually has a number of health benefits, while at the same time giving your home a deep clean. After the long, cold winter we have had, you too may be inspired to give your house a renewed sense of cleanliness and vibrancy. A clean home can strengthen your immune system, avoid illness, and reduce stress and depression with a decluttered house.

    Spring cleaning can start with sparkling clean windows. Although cleaning your windows may look easy, a refresher course on some simple steps on how to clean your windows may be beneficial to you as you contemplate adding this to your spring-cleaning list.

    Having clean windows will not only improve your spirits but also allows more light into your home, making you feel more connected to the outdoors and enjoying the longer days that are fast approaching.

    Simple Window Cleaning Solution

    Yes, there are a lot of commercial window-cleaning products available for that ‘streak-free shine’, however using a simple solution of one-part white vinegar to two parts warm water – is just as effective and works great! Just mix it up in a spray bottle and it’s ready to use! Make sure you double-check the recommended cleaning solution to use with your windows manufacturer.

    Cleaning Windows from the Inside

    Pro-tip: It’s best to clean your windows on a cool, cloudy day so that the window cleaning solutions don’t dry on your windows. It might be easier to see those streaks on a sunny day, but the sun drying the windows too quickly is also the cause of those streaks.

    1. First, you need to clean off the dirt, dust, and debris. You can brush, sweep, or vacuum the window sash, frames, and sill to ensure a clean area. Fill a bucket with clean, cold water with a couple of drops of liquid dish soap.
    2. Place a large towel by the window for any spills or drops.
    3. Use a clean microfiber cloth starting at the top, and working your way to the bottom. Make sure to wipe down the frame.
    4. Spray the window with either your homemade solution or storebought window cleaner, and dry in a Z-shaped motion using a clean, lint-free towel (some people like to use newspaper or paper towels).
    5. If you aren’t happy with any streaks or stubborn dirt, then spray, and dry again.

    Cleaning Windows from the Outside

    1. Typically, the outside of your windows has more dirt and stains so it may take a little more effort to clean. Depending on the window, you may need to first rinse the windows off with a hose.
    2. Fill a bucket with clean, cold water with a couple of drops of liquid dish soap.
    3. Use a clean microfiber cloth starting at the top, and working your way to the bottom. Make sure to wipe down the frame.
    4. Spray the window with either your homemade solution or store-bought window cleaner.
    5. Using a clean, rubber-bladed squeegee, wipe the window dry by angling the squeegee towards the bottom of the window, working from top to bottom. Make sure to wipe the squeegee off with a clean, dry towel after each pass.
    6. Finally, don’t forget about the window screens, and tracks. Screens are easily cleaned with just a rinse with plain water, spray with your solution, and rinse again. Let the screens dry thoroughly before placing them back on your clean windows.

    How often should you clean your windows?

    It is important to clean your windows, frames, and tracks at least once or twice a year. Depending on where you live, you may need to do this a little more often. Avoiding dirty windows can also help prevent window damage, protect your indoor air quality, and make sure your home’s energy efficiency is maintained and consistent. Having clean windows will make your house look great, is important for good window care and maintenance, and make you feel accomplished. If you aren’t confident in your window cleaning skills, hire a professional window cleaner in your area. We recommend that you hire someone who is insured and bonded, and of course, make sure you read the reviews before you hire them.

    New Windows for America offers many window styles and options that are easy to maintain and clean. Offering even windows that offer integrated tilt features that are specifically engineered for easy cleaning. Our team at New Windows for America has the experience, and knowledge to help you choose the most beautiful, energy-efficient windows and doors for your home.

    How to use Viva Magenta – the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year

    2023 Pantone Color of the Year | Viva Magenta | New Windows for America

    Every year Pantone releases the color of the year – and this year it is bright, bold, and full of life! The Pantone Color of the Year for 2023 is Viva Magenta! We have some clever ways that you can incorporate this vibrant color into your home!

    First, let’s talk about Viva Magenta 18-1750!

    Viva Magenta 18-1750 descends from the red family, signaling strength, fearlessness, and a joyous celebration! This color exudes empowerment, encouraging experimentation and making a statement. The color was selected by humans in the fashion and design industry, then interpreted by an AI tool called Midjourney to create, as Pantone describes it an “endless new ecosystem to be explored, called ‘the Magentaverse.’” This color is aptly defined by Pantone as “an unconventional shade for an unconventional time.”

    Here are 5 ways you can use Viva Magenta in your home

    Paint an Accent Wall

    Is there a wall in your home that needs a little attention? Bring some life to the space by painting Viva Magenta on a small wall, powder room, or hallway. Pair the new bold paint with neutral accessories, and black framed wall hangings to bring some interest to the space!

    Add Some Pizazz to your Kitchen

    The new color hails from the red family which has been shown that this color makes you hungry and impulsive. Consider adding a splash of Viva Magenta to your accessories with flowers, bar stools, dish towels, napkins, or dinnerware. These pops of color are an easy and somewhat inexpensive feat. If you are feeling very bold, you could also paint this warm hue as an accent wall, or even your kitchen cabinets!

    Find Viva Magenta in Wall Art

    Add some interest to a space by finding some wall art that has hints of Viva Magenta, and make this a focal point to your entry, powder room, or living spaces.

    Add Drama to Your Floor or in an Accent Chair

    Look for Viva Magenta in an oversized rug, or take the plunge and commit to a bright carpet for some underfoot luxury! Adding a luxurious velvet armchair in the new vivacious color can give your bedroom the most glamorous and cozy seat in the house!

    Say Hello to Your Front Door!    

    A red door makes a bold statement, welcoming one and all. Compliment the confidence with bright white trim and black windows and frames for a sophisticated look. Create the perfect outdoor scene by accessorizing your front entry with magenta throw pillows on your patio chairs, adding some beautiful fuchsia flowers and some greenery to complement the bold look.

    As you contemplate all the ways you can incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year in your home, perhaps your windows, siding, and doors also need a refresh. The team at New Windows for America is ready to help you get a fresh look in your home! We have the experience, knowledge, and the local company you want to use for your interior and exterior updates, and can help you with choosing the most beautiful, energy-efficient windows and doors.

    Custom Residential Windows versus Big Box Stores

    Custom Residential Windows versus Big Box Stores | Denver Residential Windows | Replacement Windows

    It can be overwhelming and confusing trying to figure out what window replacement company you want to hire for your window replacement needs. All windows are not created equal! There are a lot of choices out there from big-box stores to large nationwide companies and local companies. Who do you choose to replace the windows in your home? It is important to be an informed consumer, especially with a large purchase.

    We are here to help you! We encourage you to educate yourself about the quality of window products, what kind of support you can expect from sales staff and installers, and the warranty of the product. The team at New Windows for America is available to answer any questions you may have about our window replacement products.

    Custom Residential Windows

    Investing in custom windows ensures that you will enjoy exact measurements of your current window and wall opening with an accurate fit.  Custom windows are designed for your exact dimensions and made to fit any size opening without compromising the structure of your home. Having a local, experienced, and knowledgeable sales staff that will take time to go through options or answer any questions you may have is invaluable.  

    Our professional staff will take exact measurements, creating custom windows for the exact openings will ensure that your new window will fit perfectly, and guarantee there will be no problems with drafts or air leakage. Custom windows that are fitted properly will ensure that they perform better, and are more energy efficient, offering optimal thermal performance, and saving you time and money.

    Standard Big-Box Store Windows

    If you choose to purchase your windows from a big-box store, you are limited to standard sizes, designs, and options.  You are stuck with whatever size, style, and features they have in stock. These windows are purchased in bulk by window manufacturers and shipped to the stores, and typically are of lower quality from being mass produced. Quality control is an issue as mass-produced windows are not fabricated individually like custom windows. If these windows are not fitted or installed correctly these windows could lead to leaking, premature wear, and tear, and could end with long-term issues for your home.  Homeowners may see a short-term benefit with paying a reduced cost and keeping overhead low, but in the long run, you are risking energy efficiency, possible water damage for poor installation, and overall headache from trying to do it yourself.

    More Options with Custom Windows

    Choosing from a wide range of products from New Windows for America affords you a wide variety of options such as material, colors, styles, finishes, and hardware options much more than you have with standard windows. This gives you complete control over the appearance, quality, style, and design you want for your home.

    Increased Value to your Home

    Custom windows not only enhance the curb appeal of your home, but also increase the value of your home as they are longer-lasting, more durable, and have better manufacturer warranties.

    The Biggest Home Remodeling Trends of 2023

    Biggest Home Remodeling Trends of 2023 | Denver Replacement Windows

    As we move into the new year with hopes for good health, joy, and happiness, it also gives us a sense of renewal for our home bringing us thoughts of updates and renovations. The new year brings renewed enthusiasm for creating a home with optimistic vibes that are full of colors, patterns, and textures. One of the many benefits of owning your own home is that you can make the change you want to make it feel like your own. This year might be the year that you renovate your main bathroom, or perhaps a new paint color, or if you are feeling very ambitious, perhaps a kitchen renovation. It has become quite important for homeowners to look for affordable as well as green and sustainable options when choosing their home renovation projects.

    According to the experts, here are some of the top home remodeling trends for 2023:

    Updating Kitchens with your Personal Design Style

    Updating your kitchen delivers high returns on your investment while at the same time improving the look and function of the space. Some kitchen trends include more calming tones and warm neutrals. Being that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and where people gather, it is important to make this important room feel calm and create a sense of relaxation. Using biophilic materials such as tactile woods and dynamic composites, using neutrals, matte finishes, and earth tones will complement natural raw materials. Kitchen islands are still trending along with beverage centers and wine fridges.

    Calm and Colorful Bathrooms

    After a long day, you deserve to have a bathroom where you can unwind, have an escape to relaxation, and have your own personal serene, spa-like sanctuary. Incorporating natural stones and woods, and green hues give the sense of bringing calm feelings of bringing the outdoors in. Including a personal spa is another on-trend for 2023, creating a sensory experience with colorful lights and monochromatic metal gradients.

    Large Windows & Doors

    A continuing trend of bringing the indoors outside and vice versa is still very popular. Colorado homeowners have a deep connection to the outdoors. Adding windows to multiple walls, installing floor-to-ceiling windows, large-scale windows, or replacing single doors with double doors is a beautiful way to let more natural light in, enhancing the views from your living spaces. Retractable screen doors, large patio space, and oversized or stacking patio doors are also growing trends.

    Warm and Soft Palettes

    Predicted to be trending in 2023 are warm brown and beige tones adding a calmer and more relaxing atmosphere to your home. Try incorporating an accent wall to add dimensions to your living spaces. Maybe another surprising trend is the use of wallpaper. Using wallpaper with a versatile amber tone can be used for both traditional and contemporary styles. Wallpapers with bold colors and patterns help to visually lengthen and widen the footprint of a room. Compliment these warm tones with deep wood tone accessories, or white, beige, or terracotta furniture.

    Curve Trends

    Carrying over from 2022 trends, the curve trend continues to gain popularity. Use the curved trend in your kitchen island, using curved sofas and chairs or even a curved bar softens and makes the space more inviting, as well as maximizing the space.

    Home Offices

    The trend of people working from home on a regular basis continues to grow. Having a dedicated, yet comfortable and functional home office space allows people to work outside of standard 9-5 jobs. Adding custom built-in cabinets to help with organization efforts can also help with the storage issue without overwhelming the style of the room. There is a specific trend of creating sheds, converting garages, and making-over home office spaces to make working from home more enjoyable and efficient.

    Energy Updates

    With utility and energy bills on the rise, homeowners are opting for better insulation, energy-efficient windows, smart thermometers, and even solar panels. With the Inflation Reduction Act passing in August 2022, legislation is offering tax credits and other incentives for Americans to go green.

    Dramatic Exterior Palettes

    Bright white siding contrasted with black windows and trim create an amazing graphic curb appeal and is still a very popular trend in 2023. There is a shift in using darker siding colors in blues, green, and warm grays while complimented with lighter windows and trim. A pop of color for the front door is a fun way to also add interest to the home. For specific window and door design trends, click here to read more.

    Understanding Your Window Performance

    Understanding your window performance | Replacement Windows Denver | New Windows for America

    It is important to understand the energy performance ratings of your windows and doors as it relates to their potential for gaining and losing heat. The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) provides information enabling homeowners to accurately compare window performance. Here is a summary of what gets measured and why.

    U-Factor

    U-Factor measures how well a window is insulated and prevents heat from escaping. While the U-Factor can take any value, typically windows range from 0.20 to 1.20. The lower the U-Factor, the better the window insulates. The lower the U-factor, the greater the window’s resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. U-value measures the rate of heat transfer through glass (glazing). U-values, depending on climatic conditions.

    Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

    Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a window blocks heat from sunlight. It can range in value from 0 to 1. The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, the lower the level of visible light that can affect the brightness of a room’s interior, and the less solar heat the window lets in. The sun can provide free heat in the winter, but lead to overheating in warmer conditions. Selecting different types of Low E glass coatings allows for balancing Solar Heat Gain appropriately for each individual home. Certain products use spectrally selective glass that blocks infrared light while still allowing high levels of visible light—so you can daylight your home while maintaining comfortable temperatures.

    VLR

    Visible Light External Reflectance or VLR refers to the percentage of visible light that is reflected externally by the glass as detected by the human eye. The higher the VLR, the lighter your windows allow in your home.

    Air Leakage

    Air leakage is a natural part of all operating windows. It is the rate of air movement around a window, door, or skylight in the presence of a specific pressure difference across it. The lower the number, the less air flows through the window when it is closed and locked.  Air leakage also depends on the proper installation of a window, which is assumed in all ratings.

    Save Money, and Use Less Energy

    Installing ENERGY-STAR® qualified windows and doors lowers energy bills and saves you money. Replacing old windows with ENERGY-STAR® certified windows lowers household energy bills by an average of 12 percent nationwide. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and homes. Can you feel your carbon footprint shrinking?

    Shop for Windows that Perform Best for Your House

    Window orientation and window direction are important factors to enhance your savings and can increase the energy efficiency of your home, as well as make it more comfortable to live in. The orientation of the windows in your home can affect the lighting of the rooms resulting in electricity and heating consumption. For example, south-facing windows allow plenty of light into the room as the sun tracks mostly in the southern half of the sky. A north-facing window typically receives less natural light, so choosing the right size and high-performance glass can make a huge difference.

    Ask the Team at New Windows for America about how our windows can be specified with high-performance glass to meet ENERGY-STAR® criteria for our specific climate zone here in Colorado.

    What is Low E Glass?

    What is Low E Glass | Low Emissivity Glass | New Windows for America

    Low Emissivity Glass, also known as Low E Glass, has a coating applied to it to make windows more energy efficient. Low E glass is one of the cornerstones of any energy-efficient window. Its primary purpose is managing radiation, whether it is solar, light ultraviolet, or heat. The secret is two microscopic layers of silver, which reflect heat back to its source. Other layers in the Low E coating filter ultraviolet and solar radiation, while allowing visible light through.

    The Basics of Low E Glass

    Low-E coatings keep the interior of homes cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter by allowing visible light to pass through the glass while reflecting heat back to its source.

    The Science of Low Emissivity Glass

    Low Emissivity (Low E) glass manages radiation, including solar, light, ultraviolet, or heat via two microscopic layers of silver. The silver reflects heat back to its source.

    How does Low E Glass work in different environments?

    In predominantly heating environments, IntelliGlass reflects furnace heat back into the home, reducing the burden on the furnace, yet keeping your home warm and comfortable. Some solar radiation passes through the glass, acting as a source of free energy. Most UV radiation is blocked, while a high amount of visible light shines through.

    In predominantly cooling environments, IntelliGlass reflects exterior heat away from your home. Solar radiation is filtered to preserve the comfortable indoor temperature the air conditioner provides. Most UV radiation is blocked, while a high amount of visible light shines through.

    What about Gas Filling? Is it really in there?

    Argon gas is an odorless, non-toxic gas that’s injected between panes of sealed glass to increase a window’s insulation and sound-proofing capabilities. Argon gas increases the R-value (measurement of thermal resistance) by minimizing the heat exchange through the window while reducing the possibility of condensation and frost build-up in cold or humid climates. Argon is an inert gas that is denser than air, making it more difficult for heat or cold to transmit through glass. Vinylmax uses sophisticated filling equipment and a Thermal Check verification system to ensure maximum performance.

    What if our home is in a climate that is both heating and cooling?

    Each IntelliGlass package features climate-specific Low E glass that is designed to maximize energy efficiency for your Energy Star Climate Zone. Choosing a triple-pane option provides the ultimate in window performance and meets Energy Star Most Efficient performance criteria.

    Why Should I choose an Energy Star-qualified window?

    You can improve your indoor comfort while saving money on heating and cooling costs. Replacing your home’s window with Energy Star-qualified windows can filter out damaging ultraviolet light, and save you hundreds of dollars on heating and cooling costs. If you have more questions about Energy Star-qualified windows, please ask our team at New Windows for America.

    Window, Door, and Interior Design Trends to Look for in 2023

    Window, Door, and Interior Design Trends to Look for in 2023

    The new year is a great time to start fresh and evaluate your home’s needs and refresh your living spaces. The latest interior design trends have been leaning toward creating inviting, unique and comfortable spaces. 2023 is no different and furthers some of the trends we have noticed in the past couple of years. If you want to update your home, here are some trends to look forward to in 2023.

    Black Window Frames

    One of the simplest ways to get in on the latest trend of dark interior design is to choose a dark interior window frame. Although a bold black color can make some people nervous, this color is becoming more of a new neutral adding a sophisticated pop of color to your home. Black frames are versatile, complementing most interior designs, and make a subtle statement to your home.

    Go Natural and Get in Touch with Nature

    Make your house feel more vibrant and alive, and bring the outside in by incorporating houseplants, and greenery throughout your home. Known as the biophilic trend, it’s a way to create a sense of harmony between your home and the world outside, and is on track to be one of the biggest interior design trends of 2023.

    You can also accomplish this by installing large picture windows, taking advantage of the outdoors, and seemingly bringing the indoors with light and views of the outside. Another option would be to create an indoor-outdoor connection by installing sliding doors to further your living space beyond your living room. Use your windows to breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sounds of nature, and boost your mood by letting the daylight in.

    Art Deco Style

    Celebrate the art deco trend and a touch of opulence by incorporating different window shapes into your home with maximalist shapes and geometrics. The Art Deco Glamour Trend is different than the traditional art deco as it brings a little more of the rich colors, bold geometry, and notable architectural shapes and elements. Bring eye-catching window shapes to match the architectural style of your home, use large art deco-style mirrors to add light to the room, and then accessorize with vases, frames, and home décor that includes touches of gold and elegance.

    Vintage Design

    Honor your home’s architectural design by matching the windows to your house’s style and roots. Bay and bow windows typically lend themselves to a craftsman or ranch-style home, whereas a Victorian-style home pairs well with single or double-hung windows. You can further complement your home’s design by using family heirlooms, and vintage décor from antique or thrift stores, and restoring their natural design spaces instead of doing a complete renovation job.

    Sustainability & Going Green

    Reduce Heat Loss in Your Denver Home

    Reduce Heat Loss in Your Denver Home | New Windows for America

    Winter has finally set in here in Denver, with freezing temperatures and snowy weather. As Old Man Winter is settling in, we want to keep the cold out, and the warm heat in. Keeping the heat in your home makes your life more comfortable, while also keeping your heating expenses down. Heat loss in your home means that your house is not retaining the heat, and instead, it is escaping outside. Keeping your utility costs down this winter by reducing the amount of heat loss will make your wallet happy.

    Ensure your home stays warm and comfortable all season long by making your home more energy-efficient. Taking a few simple steps can help you reduce the energy loss in your home and reduce your heating bills.

    Keep Your Colorado Home Safe and Warm this Winter Season

    Residential energy bills are on the rise this year, in fact, according to the Colorado Office of the Utility Consumer Advocate, your Xcel Energy bill could rise as much as 54% over last year.

    Check your insulation in the attic

    Heat rises, and if your attic is not insulated properly, all of that precious warm air will escape your home. If you are not able to safely check the insulation in your attic, contact a professional who can do an in-home evaluation.

    Insulate your walls

    If you have an older home, chances are that there is little insulation in your walls. Typically, exterior walls need to be six inches thick, while older homes may only have 4 inches. Adding blown-in insulation is a quick, easy and efficient option. Contact an insulation expert for an in-home estimate and evaluation.

    Window Replacement

    Are your windows not fitting properly, difficult to open/close, or warped? It’s easy to tell on a cold winter day if your windows are leaking precious warm air. Single-pane glass is much less efficient than double-pane insulated glass. Choosing a vinyl replacement window like Vinylmax is a cost-effective and efficient solution while at the same time adding beauty, and comfort to your Denver home.

    Replacing your Front Entry Door

    If your door feels like it is allowing cold air into your home, it is a good sign that your entry door needs to be replaced. Replacing your front door with a fiberglass or steel door can ensure that cold air doesn’t step into your home while giving your home an upgraded look and amazing curb appeal.

    Sealing areas in your home

    Warm air can escape through small cracks and spaces. Check around your sink pipes, appliance ducts, and chimney for areas that could be re-sealed or caulked to prevent warm air from escaping. Energy.gov has some great tips on how to reduce the number of air leaks in your home to cut your heating costs this winter!
