Beat the Summer Heat with New Energy-Efficient Windows

Posted on May 18, 2023 | by nwfam

The Colorado summer heat can be relentless, but there are several ways to beat it and keep your home cool. Especially during the summer months, a spike in your utility bill may be normal as your HVAC system is working harder than usual to try to beat the outside heat. One of the best ways to reduce your energy bill is to install new energy-efficient windows. Energy-efficient windows are designed to reduce heat gain from the sun, minimize air leakage, and provide better insulation.

New windows are an important aesthetic feature of your home but can also contribute to your home’s overall comfort and keep your home cool during the hot summer months.

Top Reasons to Replace Your Windows this Summer

Enhanced Insulation & Energy Efficiency

Old windows often have air leaks and inefficient insulation, resulting in increased energy consumption and higher utility bills. Vinyl replacement windows are a great choice to keep your house cool this summer as the frames offer extra insulation making it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature. Installing double-pane energy-efficient windows provides improved insulation while keeping the cool air produced by your air conditioner inside and preventing hot outdoor air from seeping in.

Choosing Windows with SHGC Rating

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is the amount of solar radiation admitted through a window, releasing heat inside a home. An SHGC rating measures how well a window blocks heat from sunlight. The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, the lower the solar heat the window lets into your home.

Low-E Glass:

Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass is another feature of new energy-efficient windows. Low-E is one of the best solutions for reducing heat transfer through a window. With older windows, heat transfer via radiation is allowed to pass through since there is no coating to stop it. Windows that have Low-E Technology applied to the glass during the manufacturing process with a thin, transparent coating that allows visible light to pass through but reflects heat radiation. This means that while natural light illuminates your home, the heat from the sun is significantly reduced, maintaining a cooler indoor temperature.

Reduced Air Leakage:

When installed by a professional installer at New Windows for America, we will ensure that your new energy-efficient windows are tightly sealed to prevent air leakage. Drafty windows can let warm air in and cool air out, forcing your air conditioner to work harder. By eliminating air leaks, energy-efficient windows create a more stable and comfortable indoor environment while reducing the load on your cooling system.

Noise Reduction

Do you live on a busy street or have noisy neighbors? New replacement energy-efficient windows can often block outside noise pollution. Investing in new double-pane or even triple-pane windows can help dampen outside noise providing immediate benefits within the home. They can minimize the amount of outdoor noise that enters your home, providing a more peaceful and comfortable living space. If you’re looking for a way to improve your home’s comfort and save money on your energy bills, consider installing new replacement windows.

Give Your Mom the Gift of a Garden Window

Posted on May 11, 2023 | by nwfam

A kitchen garden window is a wonderful gift you could give your mom this Mother’s Day! Kitchen garden windows are becoming more and more popular with homeowners for many reasons. Garden windows can provide an easy way to grow herbs, small plants, and vegetables right in the comfort of your own kitchen.

What is a Garden Window?

A garden window is a type of window that extends outward from your home and is designed to create a small greenhouse-like space for indoor plants or herbs. The main difference between a bay window and a garden window is the angle of the windows. Bay windows are at a 45-degree angle to the wall, whereas a garden window forms a 90-degree angle. A garden window typically has four glass panels, including two sloping side panels and a flat front panel, and a roof made of glass or polycarbonate material.

Garden windows are usually installed in a kitchen or a dining area, where they can provide natural light and ventilation while also creating an inviting space to display plants, herbs, or flowers. Garden windows can also add architectural interest to a home, which could increase its resale value.

What are some of the benefits of a garden window?

Natural Light
Garden windows allow more natural light into your home than traditional windows, making your living space brighter and more inviting. A garden home can add beauty and charm but also by promoting energy efficiency by using natural light instead of electricity.

Fresh Air & Ventilation
A garden window can reduce indoor air pollution by opening the window to fresh air. Garden windows typically have vents that allow fresh air to circulate in your home. This can improve indoor air quality and create a more comfortable living environment.

Expand Your Views
A garden window can serve as an additional space for storage or decoration, providing a unique and functional feature in your home. It is also a great space for bird watching or keeping an eye on the kids in the backyard. With a standard window, you are prohibited by only being able to look straight out, whereas with a garden window, you can now see out to the left, right, and above.

Energy efficiency
Garden windows are designed to be energy efficient, which can help to reduce your heating and cooling costs. Since a garden window has three sides of glass, it allows more light to come in which means even more energy savings each month! Talk to the team at New Windows for America about options for garden windows!

A Garden Window becomes the Perfect Greenhouse
A garden window is the perfect spot to grow your herb garden. A kitchen garden window becomes a mini greenhouse providing lots of space, sunlight, and warmth giving plants, herbs, and seedlings a protected home.

Even if your window is perfectly functional, you may want to change things up by replacing a standard window with a garden window. While a full kitchen renovation may not be something you want to take on, the cost of a garden window is substantially less than a full remodel while creating a new, open, and fresh look and feel to your kitchen.

Make the Perfect Statement with a New Front Door

Posted on May 3, 2023 | by nwfam

With so many different types of doors on the market, it is hard to know how to choose the right one. A beautiful front door is your opportunity to make your first impression. A front door creates that most inviting environment and helps to showcase your home’s style and design. Setting the tone for the entire house, creating a welcoming atmosphere and creating that special private haven inside your home all starts with a functional, secure and timeless door design.

Here are some key benefits when purchasing a new front door:

Adds value to your home
Extra Security
Easy to clean
Custom fit to your home and door opening
Reduce noise pollution
Energy Efficient

How do you choose the perfect front door?

Consider the first impression for you and your guests. The front door sets the stage for not only anyone who enters your home, but also curb appeal. Keep in mind that this also factors into the value of your home! Make sure also that the front door you choose is functional, secure and durable.

Front Door Configurations

You may have some idea on the style, design and functionality of your new front door. Front doors are typically either single, or double-design, generally hinging inwards. French doors (or double-hinged doors) enhance the character of your home with a classic look. Wider entry ways may be needed for wheelchair accessibility and can be useful when moving large pieces of furniture in and out of the home.

Enhance Your Entry Way

Some panel configurations can include unique glass inserts to create a distinct look for your home. Additional windows can also be added to the side or top of the front door to allow for more light, extra ventilation and a unique look to your home.

Colors

The color of your front door can have a big impact on the aesthetic of your home. While some people may want to match the front door with other windows in the home there may be others who would like to make that contrasting statement. We offer a full range of colors to fit for your home, style and design.

Less Maintenance

Efficient and quality parts result in less long-term maintenance on your front door. Steel or vinyl doors or more durable than wooden doors. And even if you still want that luxurious look of a wooden door, you can easily talk to us about the options we have with the wood grain imprinted on them.

A weather tight seal keeps the water, air leaks and pests from your home which also reduces your energy costs.

Security

Installing an energy efficient door will also help with bringing your piece of mind. No matter what material a front door is made from, whether they are made from steel, wood or fiberglass, front doors are relatively equal to each other when it comes to strength.

Installation

Relying on a professional door installation company like New Windows for America, is important to insure that the door fits the door exactly to the measurements of your door opening. We pride ourselves to ensure there is no damage to the property around it, and that your new door will be long-lasting, and sturdy for years to come.

Here are some of the main benefits of installing a Bay Window in Your Home

Welcome Natural Light into your Room

Adding a bay window to a room that perhaps feels dark or closed off can make a world of difference. Bay windows open interior spaces bringing in a lot of natural light, which can make your home feel warm and inviting. The added light can also help to make the space feel larger and more open.

Better Views

Bay windows often can provide stunning views of your front or backyard adding to the overall appeal of the space. As bay windows provide larger window space than a standard window, you can have several people standing in front of a bay window while always enjoying the views. Whether you’re looking out onto a beautiful garden or a bustling street, the view can help to make your home feel more welcoming.

Window Sitting Area

A bay window can offer an intimate and cozy space for gathering around a kitchen nook, or relaxing with a book on a lazy afternoon. Having a built-in window seat makes great and practical use of this space. Bay windows can provide additional seating in a room, which can be great for entertaining or just relaxing. Whether you choose to add a window seat or a couple of chairs, the extra seating can help to make your home feel more inviting and cozier.

Bay Windows can fit any Style or Home Design

Whether your house is traditional, modern, cottage or coastal, bay windows can add a touch of elegance and style to any room. You can style bay windows so many ways such as a window seat, dramatic draperies, modern roman shades, or even have transoms installed to allow for even more light. A bay window can help to elevate the overall look of your home and make it feel more inviting.

Functional Space & Storage:

Whether you choose to install a window seat or not, bay windows can also provide additional storage space in a room. You have the space to add built-in shelves or cabinets, place a table with a decorative lamp, or a welcoming bench or settee. Either way, the extra storage can help to keep your space organized and clutter-free, which can make it feel more welcoming and comfortable.

Why Should You Install a Bay Window?

The Do’s and Don’ts of Curb Appeal

Posted on April 20, 2023 | by nwfam

Curb appeal is the external and visual appeal of a home as viewed from the outside of your home. It can include landscaping, painting, lighting, and an overall aesthetic of the home. First impressions are everything in a home, and an outdated curb appeal is not attractive to potential home buyers, your neighbors, or even you, the homeowner. Revamping and updating the front yard, and exterior of the home can increase not only the value of your home but also the value of the neighborhood and surrounding area.

We have put together a simple list of the Do’s and Don’ts of curb appeal so you can spend your time and money wisely with some simple updates.

DO’s:

Lawn Care:

Mow the lawn regularly and keep your landscaping well-maintained, including trimming the shrubs and trees, as well as removing any dead plants, leaves, or flowers.

Outdoor Lighting:

Updating or adding outdoor lighting can enhance the appearance of your property. Lighting also helps to guide guests along paths, driveways, etc., helping reduce the risk of guests slipping and falling. Installing lighting around your patio, decks and other seating areas also provides additional safety and security.

Add Color with Flowers and Plants

Homes with beautiful and vibrant seasonal plants and flowers have an improved curb appeal because of the pop in color and textures. Adding seasonal flowers and plants can make an instant and significant impact on the overall beauty and value of your property while creating a peaceful environment.

Brush Up on Your Exterior House Spring Cleaning

Take advantage of the warmer and longer days and take your spring cleaning outside. A clean exterior can make a big difference in making your house look fresh and well-maintained. Clean your windows and doors, power wash the exterior, sweep off the patio and remove any cobwebs on the patio. As you clean, pay attention to the condition of your windows, doors, and siding for any damage. It could be time to repair or even replace. Contact the team at New Windows for America for a FREE In-Home Estimate for any of your replacement needs.

Paint or Replace the Front Door

The front door is the centerpiece of the front of your home. If your front door is in good condition, a fresh coat of paint on your home’s exterior door can make a significant impact on the overall appearance of your property. If it’s time to replace the front door, we have many options and can work with you to find the right door to match your home. As today’s doors are built to be more energy efficient, a new front door can also help to keep your house cooler this summer, keeping your gas and electricity bills down.

DON’Ts:

Over-Decorate

You want your home to look inviting, but try to avoid overdoing outdoor decorations, as this can distract from the overall appearance of your property.

Clutter

Pick-up after a fun day in your front yard, but make sure to keep your front porch and yard free from clutter. After enjoying your day, make sure to clean up after your activities and put bicycles, toys, and gardening tools away in their proper place.

Neglect the driveway, sidewalk, and walkways!

Make sure to keep the driveway and walkways clear of any weeds, debris, cracks, or overgrown plants. If your driveway or sidewalk is cracked or damaged, this can be a major eyesore and potentially dangerous. You may want to hire a concrete expert to repair or replace the damaged areas.

Ignore your home’s exterior:

Have your roof inspected and make sure regularly clean the roof and repair any damage or missing shingles. Call the team at New Windows for America where we can inspect your siding, windows, and doors to make sure they are in good working condition. If they need to be replaced, we will give you options best suited for your home and your budget.

Curb appeal is extremely important as the first impression people have of your home. It creates an inviting and visually appealing experience that showcases the best features of your home. With a little bit of time, energy, and attention, you can improve your home’s curb appeal greatly, whether you are looking to sell your home, want to take a little more pride in how your home looks, or just want to make a better impression on your friends and neighbors.

Top 5 Signs Your Windows Need to be Replaced

Posted on April 13, 2023 | by nwfam

Have you noticed that your windows were leaking cold air into your home this past winter, have visible cracks in the glass, or have problems opening or closing your windows? Your home’s windows are an integral part of your home’s energy performance, comfort level, and overall aesthetics.

When your windows stop working effectively, it’s a good sign that they are nearing the end of their life span and need to be replaced. Most windows have a lifespan of about 15-20 years, which are likely made with single pane glass, or seals start to fail leaving windows open to draft and water seepage.

If you are wondering if your windows need to be replaced, and these top signs start to sound familiar, it is most likely time to call the team at New Windows for America for a free estimate for your window replacement needs.

Are your windows showing visible signs of damage?

A damaged window like broken glass, weak seals, cracks in the frame, and moisture inside the panes can all be highly visible signs that your window needs to be replaced. Damaged windows can leave your home open for more serious problems like drafts, water seepage, and pests, not to mention making your home easier for potential introducers. It is advisable to get damaged windows fixed as soon as possible to avoid expensive repairs, and loss of energy in the home, and to keep your family safe.

Are your windows difficult to open or close?

If your windows aren’t opening or closing properly, it is time for new replacement windows. Windows can get stuck for several different reasons including problems with the roller system, tight springs, or dust built up. Not all windows play well with our Colorado weather, and with the temperature swings that we have here, you want to make sure you select windows that are made for our climate. If your windows don’t open this can pose quite a significant safety risk. If you need to get out of the home, a window can sometimes be your only exit.

Are your windows drafty?

Drafty windows can become a source of irritating air leaks and increase energy bills. Aging windows and doors deteriorate in quality over time and can develop leaks. If you have newer windows that are experiencing air leaks or are drafty, this could be a sign of poor installation, inexperienced installers, or an ill-fitting window. Click here to read more about how to detect drafty windows.

Are your windows letting in too much noise?

Does it seem like you can hear everything that goes on outside of your home? Did you know that windows can offer sound control? Older windows, especially single-pane windows, are lacking in this area. Poor window installation may cause new windows to allow more noise, as well as the type of surrounding material. Materials like vinyl and wood are some of the best options to help minimize the amount of sound that comes through. Windows are supposed to provide acoustic insulation to reduce the amount of external noise you hear in your home. A window’s ability to block sound is measured by its Sound Transmission Class (STC).

If outside noises plague you, you should consider replacing your windows. Ask the team at New Windows for America to go through what options might best be suited for your home. Choosing a window that works for the level of noise pollution near your home can reduce stress and improve your comfort.

Are your energy bills increasing?

If you’ve noticed that your energy bills have increased over the winter, your home might benefit from a simple inspection to check for a lack of insulation, sealants, and caulking. If your home is drafty, it allows the temperature-controlled air inside your home to escape which causes your HVAC systems to work even harder, driving your energy bills up. Consider replacing your windows with new energy-efficient windows, which can help lower your energy bills as they are designed to help prevent air from leaking in or out of your home.

It is a perfect time to get outdoors and start tackling some of those home projects that we couldn’t get to over the cold winter. After months of wind, flying dirt, and cold weather, the winter has most likely left its mark on your home.

Spring Home Improvement Checklist

Here are some tasks to consider adding to your spring home improvement checklist:

Clean gutters and downspouts: Clear out any debris that may have accumulated over the winter to prevent water damage.
Inspect the roof: Check for any damage or wear and tear from the winter weather, such as missing or damaged shingles.
Check windows and doors for drafts: Inspect windows and doors for gaps or leaks and replace weatherstripping or caulking where necessary.
Check the HVAC system: Schedule an annual maintenance check-up for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system to ensure it’s running efficiently and safely.
Clean or replace air filters: Change the air filters in your HVAC system to improve indoor air quality and keep your system running smoothly.
Service your lawn mower: Sharpen the blades, change the oil and spark plugs, and check the air filter to make sure your lawn mower is ready for the upcoming season.
Clean outdoor spaces: Sweep patios and decks, power wash outdoor furniture, and remove any dead plants or debris from the yard.
Check the sprinkler system: Test the sprinkler system to make sure it’s working properly and adjust the sprinkler heads if necessary.
Inspect the foundation: Check for cracks or other damage to the foundation of your home, and have any issues addressed by a professional.
Add some color: Plant some spring flowers or add a fresh coat of paint to give your home a new look and feel.

Spring Window Maintenance

Spring is also a great time to ensure that your windows are functioning properly and looking their best.

Here are some great tips for your spring window maintenance:

Clean the windows: Start by giving your windows a thorough cleaning. Use a window cleaning solution and a squeegee to remove dirt, grime, and streaks from the glass. You can also use a microfiber cloth or newspaper to dry the windows and prevent streaking.
Check for damage: Inspect the windows for any signs of damage, such as cracks or gaps in the frames or glass. If your windows look like they need to be repaired or replaced, please contact us for an estimate!
Lubricate moving parts: Check the window tracks and hinges for any signs of wear or rust. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to these parts to prevent them from sticking and ensure smooth operation.
Seal any gaps: Check around the window frames for any gaps or cracks where air or water could leak in. Use caulk to seal any gaps and prevent drafts and water leaks.
Install or Replace Screens: Install or replace your old window screens to keep out bugs and debris while still allowing fresh air to flow through your home.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your windows are functioning properly and looking their best for the spring season. For more information on the best way to clean your windows, click here!
