10 Exterior Home Features That Appeal Most to Homeowners | New Windows for America

10 Exterior Home Features That Appeal Most to Homeowners (and potential buyers)

Posted on | by nwfam

When it comes to your home, first impressions are everything. Trends and styles change, but here are some of the most highly desired exterior home features both homeowners and buyers can agree on.

Curb Appeal

A well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing exterior is a top priority for homeowners and prospective home buyers. This includes well-manicured landscaping (and don’t forget about the backyard), a well-maintained façade, whether that be siding, brick or wood exterior, and an attractive front entrance.

Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors

Energy-efficient windows and doors are sought-after for their ability to improve insulation, reduce energy costs, and enhance the overall comfort of the home.

Did you know that according to Homes.com, the feature that most potential buyers look for the most is large, plentiful windows? Windows topped the charts with over 19% of those surveyed, naming the size of windows as their most important item. Second to that 18% said that the number of windows was also a valuable factor.

Windows play an important part in the look and feel of a home. Not only do windows bring in natural light, but they are also a great way to make a space appear larger, especially in particularly small rooms. Having an abundance of windows also provides great views of the outside, and neighborhood, giving more life to a room.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Homeowners often seek outdoor areas such as patios, decks, or porches, where they can entertain guests, relax, and enjoy the outdoors.

Energy-Efficient Roofing

Energy-efficient roofing materials, such as cool roofs or solar shingles, are desirable for their ability to reduce energy consumption and contribute to sustainability efforts.

Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Features

Homeowners increasingly value features like rainwater harvesting systems, solar panels, and native landscaping that contribute to eco-friendliness and sustainability.

Garage

A functional and well-designed garage is highly desirable for homeowners who need space for parking vehicles and additional storage.

Exterior Lighting

Proper exterior lighting not only enhances the home’s appearance at night but also improves safety and security.

Smart Home Technology

Smart home features, including smart doorbells, security cameras, and automated outdoor lighting, are popular among tech-savvy homeowners seeking to enhance security and convenience.

High-Quality Siding

Durable and visually appealing siding materials, such as fiber cement or vinyl siding, are valued for their low maintenance and longevity.

Low-Maintenance Materials

Homeowners often prefer materials that require minimal upkeep and are resistant to weathering and pests.

If you are contemplating a renovation, or looking to replace your window, doors, or siding, we encourage you to contact New Windows for America. We provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate, and can provide you with options based on your budget, and style of your home.

Choosing Between a Sliding Glass Door and French Patio Doors | New Windows for America

Choosing Between a Sliding Glass Door and French Patio Doors

Posted on | by nwfam

Patio Doors can instantly improve your home’s aesthetic, make it more functional, and save money on your energy bills. Today’s patio doors are available in all budgets, styles, and configurations making selecting the right patio door for your home quite overwhelming. A new patio door can help to block drafts and heat loss through radiation, so you can stay warm in the winter and let in some fresh air in the summer.

Sliding Glass Doors and hinged French Doors are both popular choices for homeowners connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, offering different designs, functionality, features, and advantages. The team at New Windows for America is here to help you when it’s time for you to consider what door might be best for your space, as well as preferences, style, and features.

We have created a summary of the pros and cons of both the sliding glass door and the French patio door for your consideration. New Windows for America is a trusted resource as your Denver replacement patio door experts to answer any questions, explain options, and help guide you to select the sliding glass door or French patio door for your home.

SLIDING GLASS DOORS VS. FRENCH PATIO DOORS

Style

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding doors consist of two large glass panels where one panel slides horizontally on a track to open and close. Sliding doors are available in a wide variety of styles, often framed with vinyl, wood, or fiberglass. New Windows for America carries and offers options from top manufacturers to fit your budget and style, available in a variety of colors and configurations to suit the design of your home.

French Patio Doors

French doors typically consist of two individual door panels that meet in the middle when closed, swinging open and close on hinges. French patio doors can also be combined with side-lite windows to allow for additional light and airflow.

Space-efficiency

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding doors glide horizontally along a track, with one panel overlapping the other when the door is fully open. As sliding doors don’t require extra space for the doors to swing open, it makes them ideal for areas with limited space. Sliding doors also maximize living space since the doors don’t need to swing in or out; however, the track that the doors slide along typically requires sliding glass doors to have a larger threshold than French patio doors.

French Patio Doors

As French doors swing open and close like a traditionally hinged door, they do require enough space to accommodate opening the doors allowing them to swing open without obstruction. French patio doors have a wide opening which can reduce the usable floor space in a room, especially in smaller areas. Although French doors offer a more classic and elegant look, they may not be as space efficient as sliding glass doors.

Functionality

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding patio doors offer an abundance of natural light into your home, with large panels of glass providing expansive views of the outdoors while making the room look larger. Sliding doors offer limited ventilation as only one of the panels slides open. Having a screen door can allow for airflow while keeping the bugs away.

French Patio Doors

Like the sliding glass door, French doors also allow for more natural light into the room, and with two doors and typically a larger opening, it can really give the feeling of bringing the outdoors in. French doors also provide better ventilation as both doors can be opened simultaneously.

Energy Efficiency

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding patio doors often come with energy-efficient features like thermal breaks, weather stripping, and double-pane insulated glass. Considerations should also be made to the material of the frame and the glazing of the door itself. It is important to have a trained installer to make sure the patio doors are installed correctly. Ask the team at New Windows for America about Energy-Star-certified sliding glass doors.

French Patio Doors

Today’s French patio doors are manufactured better than ever making these doors more energy efficient than in the past. With updates to door materials, double-paned glass, glazing, and improved insulated designs, contemporary French patio doors are more energy efficient. French doors typically have a tighter seal as rain and wind push the door closed and come with a variety of energy-efficient glass options.

Security

Sliding Glass Doors

Security is a big factor when choosing a patio door for your home. Beautiful patio doors made today are designed with your family’s security in mind. The security of your sliding door includes the type and quality of the lock, framing material, and glazing of the glass. Also, a poorly installed patio door will not prevent a burglar from entering. Ask the team at New Windows for America for what kind of options will suit you and your family best for the ultimate security of your home.

French Patio Doors

French doors have the same quality locking systems as standard doors, making the doors just as safe and secure. Installing a three-point locking mechanism will make it more difficult for an intruder to enter. Again, making sure the door is installed properly by a professional door installer is extremely important.

Are You Ready to Replace Your Patio Door?

Fun Ideas on How to Keep Cool this Summer in Colorado | New Windows for America

Fun Ideas on How to Keep Cool this Summer in Colorado

Posted on | by nwfam

Temperatures are rising here in Colorado, and the sun is shining longer which means we get to enjoy our day more! Are you finding the heat a little unbearable? We have some fun tips and tricks for you and your family to stay cool in the heat of the summer! Blasting your air conditioner is one way to lower the heat in your home, and your body temperature, but there are plenty of other ways to stay cool that won’t increase your energy bill. Some of these tips and tricks could even save you a bit of money!

Cold Treats and Beverages:

It’s important, especially when it’s hot outside, that you make sure you keep hydrated! Why not make it tasty and delicious? Enjoy refreshing cold treats like homemade popsicles, ice cream, or smoothies. These cool treats can help you stay cool and hydrated, and do we really need an excuse to eat ice cream during the summer?

Keep out the heat and light:

Stave off the heat by closing your curtains and blinds on windows early in the morning to help block out heat and sunlight. Additionally, keep the lights off in your home. Any type of power or electricity in your home will generate heat, generating unnecessary heat. You will also benefit from saving money on your electricity bill as well!

Water Fun

Set up a backyard play area with sprinklers, slip-and-slide, inflatable, or kiddie pool. Your kids, pets and maybe even you will keep cool while having fun playing in the water. Dunking your feet in cold water or spraying them with cold water will quickly cool off the rest of your body.

Fans & Air Circulation

Place a bowl of ice in front of your tabletop fan to create a cooling mist effect in your living space (take care to keep water away from electricity). Opening your windows at night can let in the cooler night air, just make sure you close them in the morning before it starts getting hot again.

Cook Outdoors

We are lucky that we live in Colorado where barbecuing on the grill is something we do almost year-round. Take advantage of the beautiful evening weather and eat your dinner outside. When you cook inside your kitchen, your appliances let off heat in the house, as well as wasting energy you may not want to use. So, give your kitchen a break and use your grill outside. Or make foods that don’t require the use of your oven and make a fresh salad or simple meal.

Plant Shade & Greenery

Adding shade trees, and plants specific to our Colorado climate can help shade your home from the direct sunlight, reduce indoor temperatures, and prevent your cooling system from overworking. Creating a cool backyard oasis by choosing shade trees or vertical plants can help make it more tolerable for you to enjoy your outdoor living space offering a natural cooling element that is also beautiful to enjoy.

Outdoor Entertainment

Enjoy the cooler night air by watching your favorite movie under the stars by creating an outdoor movie night. Skip the crowds and customize your own movie experience with cozy seating with oversized pillows and blankets, and homemade snacks and drinks. This backyard movie theater oasis may turn out to be your favorite memory of the summer!

Keeping your Denver house cool this summer can be enjoyable and creative. Use some of these fun and creative ideas to beat the heat and make the most of the summer while staying comfortable indoors.

Contact New Windows for America to further help you keep your home cool this summer with 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.

Things to Consider When Purchasing a Patio Door | New Windows for America

Things to Consider When Purchasing a Patio Door

Posted on | by nwfam

Our Colorado summer is well underway and hope you have been able to enjoy it so far! One way to enjoy your summer even more is to replace your patio door, or maybe even take on a larger project like turning a window into a patio door so you can enjoy the outdoors even more! Increasing the size of your patio door is an amazing way to make your outdoor space feel like an extension of your home.

Here are some important factors to consider when you are ready to purchase a new patio door or replace your current patio door.

Style & Design

There are two main patio door styles, sliding patio doors, and French patio doors. Sliding patio doors, or gliding doors, are a great option if you are tight on space while at the same time allowing the most amount of natural light in. French Patio doors, also known as swinging patio doors, allow for a large opening when both doors are in use.

Contact the team at New Windows for America for a free estimate where we will measure the space, and talk to you about style options, orientation, and configuration. With our experience, you can trust that we will ensure that your new patio door will fit well with your space, provide you with the functionality you are looking for, and make sure to give you options so you can stay within a reasonable budget.

Energy Efficiency

A high-quality patio door has many of the same features as an energy-efficient window, including double-paned glass, and Low-E coating. Frame material also makes a difference affecting energy-efficiency with fiberglass and vinyl being the most insulating frame material. Ask New Windows for America for the most efficient patio doors with the Energy Star Most Efficient 2023 designation.

Maintenance

If you are concerned with the amount of maintenance requirements of a new patio door, please consider the type of material being used. Some materials may require more upkeep than other materials. Choosing a patio door that will best fit your lifestyle is a great question to ask the team at New Windows for America.

Ease of Operation

Sliding patio doors should glide smoothly, while French patio doors should open and close easily. Our experienced installers will go over the functionality and operation of your new patio door to ensure you have a hassle-free experience.

Security

An important factor of a patio door is its security features. Ask us about locking mechanisms or other added security options that may be important for your family and home.

Budget

At New Windows for America, we offer many options! Once you have established a budget for your new patio door, we can help to offer you pricing from our different suppliers based on your budget. Considering the long-term value and benefits of investing in a higher-quality door may benefit you more in the long run.

We hope that when you are ready to purchase a patio door, the above factors will help you with your decision. We suggest that when you are ready to replace your patio door or purchase a new sliding door, you consult with a local, professional patio door installer, like New Windows for America. We can offer you patio door replacement options that are most suited to your home and budget.

Ask the team at New Windows for America about our special offers and how you can save this summer on your patio door replacement and patio door installation needs.

Top Window Trends for Summer | New Windows for America

Top Window Trends for Summer

Posted on | by nwfam

Summertime in Colorado is a great time of year to start your summer home renovations and highlight some of the top trending window ideas! The most popular time of year for home renovations is April through September, especially because the weather is normally perfect for planning those upgrades and remodeling projects for your windows, entry doors, patio doors, and siding.

Here are some top window trends that you may want to consider for your home this summer:

Natural Light

Emphasizing natural light is a major trend for summer. Welcome natural light into your home with larger windows, including floor-to-ceiling windows or window walls, to maximize the amount of natural light that enters their spaces. This creates a bright and airy atmosphere and can help connect you with the outdoors by allowing lots of fresh air and light into your home.

Energy Efficiency

With the rising concern for energy conservation, energy-efficient windows are gaining popularity. Keeping cool and saving money are some of the main benefits of energy-efficient windows while at the same time also being environmentally friendly. New, energy-efficient windows are designed to minimize heat transfer, keeping the interior cool during summer while reducing the reliance on air conditioning. Double or triple glazing, low-emissivity coatings, and insulated frames are common features. Save on your energy bill with energy-efficient windows and get an amazing return on your investment.

Expansive Views & Better Sight Lines

Consider installing a picture window as they offer a clear, uninterrupted view of the outside, allowing you to enjoy views of the outdoors. They also allow abundant natural light to enter the room, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Picture windows are large, fixed windows that do not open or close, and are designed to provide beautiful views of the outside while maximizing natural light. Casement windows are another style of window that also provides unobstructed views of the outside. They have no dividers and are hinged windows that swing open. Casement windows are attached to the window frame on one side and can open fully, allowing maximum ventilation.

New Windows for America offers many options in different types of materials, finishes, and colors such as the still very popular black window frames. We can help you match your homes style, while still staying within your budget.

Going Green

New Windows for America offers environmentally friendly options such as Vinylmax Windows, which selects appropriate windows to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and improve both air and water quality while helping to protect ecosystems and biodiversity.  Vinylmax uses vinyl from VEKA, a world leader in the production of vinyl extrusions. Because it is less than half petroleum, vinyl is the most energy-efficient plastic.

Window Treatments

Why not compliment your new summer windows with a beautiful and creative finishing touch? There are several types of window treatments that can offer practical benefits, as well as updating the style of your home. To enhance the use of your windows, try adjusting treatments to let light in during the morning while keeping the heat out during the hot summer afternoons.

Consider summer window treatments such as shades, blinds, sheers drapes, or plantation shutters. There are so many types of window treatments to fit any budget or style.

Are you ready for new windows?

When you are ready to update your windows, make sure you consult with a local, professional window installer, like New Windows for America. We can offer you window replacement options that are most suited to your home and budget. Ask the team at New Windows for America about our special offers and how you can save this summer on your window replacement and window installation needs.

Choose the right siding for your home | New Windows for America

Choosing the Right Siding for Your Home

Posted on | by nwfam

Choosing the right siding for your home is an important decision as it not only affects the aesthetic appeal but also provides protection and insulation. The look of new, fresh siding installation can completely transform how your house looks, while also boosting your home’s property value. You will also need to factor in the style of your home, as well as maintenance and durability.

Here are some factors to consider when it comes time to choose the replacement siding for your Denver home.

Durability: Look for siding materials that are durable and can withstand the climate conditions in your area and exposure to the elements. Consider factors like resistance to wind, moisture (rain and snow), impact from outside forces like hail, or maybe the occasional baseball, and pests. LP SmartSide lap siding resists hail damage better than fiber cement and vinyl. In fact, the LP SmartSide warranty covers impacts from hail up to 1.75” in diameter.

Maintenance: Determine how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in maintaining your siding. Some materials require regular painting or sealing, while others are low maintenance and only require occasional cleaning.

Aesthetic Appeal: Choose siding that complements the architectural style of your home and reflects your personal taste. Consider the color, texture, and overall appearance of the siding options available. Your siding is a large part of the aesthetic of your home, so you should make sure it is beautiful to you.

Energy Efficiency: Insulated siding can help improve your home’s energy efficiency by reducing heat loss or gain. Ask any of our team members at New Windows for America about the R-value rating (indicates resistance to heat flow, and the measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it). Look for siding materials with good insulation properties to help lower your energy bills.

Cost: Set a budget for your siding project and explore materials that fall within that range. Remember to consider long-term costs, including maintenance and potential repairs.

Environmental Impact: If sustainability is important to you, consider eco-friendly siding options like LP Smartside Trim & Siding. As a consumer, the products you choose have an impact, both positively and negatively, on the environment. Look for materials that are recyclable, made from renewable resources, or have a low carbon footprint. Using sustainable building materials like LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding can help reduce your carbon footprint so that you can re-side with confidence.

When you are ready to invest in new siding for your home, make sure you consult with a professional siding installer, like New Windows for America. We can help you select the siding product that is most suited for your home and budget. Ask the team at New Windows for America about our special offers and how you can save this summer on your siding installation needs.

Choosing Between a Sliding Glass Door and French Patio Doors | New Windows for America

IntelliGlass – High Performance Glass with Maximum Energy Efficiency

Posted on | by nwfam

Vinylmax is a family-owned business with several generations of families working to construct modern
windows for modern families. Vinylmax has been manufacturing windows and doors since 1982.

Vinylmax has created IntelliGlass, which ensures maximum energy efficiency, a true measurement of
window quality. IntelliGlass is the heart of our VinylMax Windows.

How do different types of glass block the heat, or the cold weather?

Different types of glass can have varying degrees of effectiveness in blocking heat or cold weather in
your home. The ability of glass to block heat or cold is primarily influenced by its thermal conductivity
and insulating properties.

Some manufacturers charge more money for upgrades to their ‘super glass’. Vinylmax, one of our
preferred manufactures has created a glass, IntelliGlass, to block the hot, the cold, and the harmful UV
rays that come into our homes. IntelliGlass starts with an energy efficient foundation featuring the
ClimaGuard Low-E patented formula by Guardian. This formula is designed to keep homes cool in the
summer, and warm in the winter.

Here are some of the main features of IntelliGlass:

  • Optically clear float glass to provide distortion-free views
  • Climate Specific Low E coatings
  • Carefully Tuned coating layers provide thermal, solar and optical properties
  • Layers of silver that reflect heat are separated by adhesive barriers and performance enhancing layers
  • Scratch resistant topcoat protects the layers

How Does Low-E Glass Work?

The Basics

Low-e coatings keep the interior of your home 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

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.

What about gas?

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 the Thermal Check verification system to
ensure maximum performance.

IntelliGlass by Vinylmax is the perfect insulator for your home in all seasons! It is important to note that
the type of glass used is just one factor in determining a window’s overall energy efficiency. The window
frame material, weatherstripping, and installation quality also play crucial roles in blocking heat or cold
weather.

Consulting with a professional window installer, like New Windows for America, can help you select the
most suitable glass and window system for your specific climate and energy efficiency needs. Ask the
team at New Windows for America about our glass packages and how you can save this summer on our
energy-efficient windows with our FACTORY-DIRECT PRICING on our windows and doors.

New Windows for America is a local and family-owned business for over 25+ years, installing a wide

Summer Maintenance Tips for Your Windows | New Windows for America

Summer Maintenance Tips for Your Windows

Posted on | by nwfam

Summer is a great time to perform maintenance tasks on your windows to ensure they are in good condition and functioning optimally. Keeping your windows in good condition is essential for maintaining the energy efficiency and overall appearance of your home during the summer season.

Here are some summer maintenance tips for windows:

Clean the windows: Regularly clean both the interior and exterior surfaces of your windows.  Start by thoroughly cleaning the windows inside and out. Use a mild window cleaning solution or a mixture of water and vinegar to remove dirt, dust, and grime. Don’t forget to clean the window frames and sills as well. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the glass or damage the window frames.

Clean, check, and repair screens: Remove and clean the window screens to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a mild detergent and water, then rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry before reinstalling.  Inspect the window screens for any tears, holes, or damage. Replace or repair damaged screens to keep out bugs and insects during the summer months.

Inspect leaks and repair seals: Check the windows for any signs of leaks or condensation. Leaks can lead to water damage and condensation may indicate a problem with insulation. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage. Check the weather stripping and seals around your windows for any signs of wear or damage. Damaged seals can lead to drafts and increased energy costs. Replace worn-out or damaged weatherstripping to ensure a proper seal and improve energy efficiency.

Lubricate moving parts: If you have windows that open and close, ensure that the moving parts, such as hinges, tracks, and rollers, are properly lubricated. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the window tracks and hinges to keep them operating smoothly. This will help prevent sticking and ensure easy opening and closing of the windows.

Check for leaks: Inspect your windows for any signs of leaks or water damage. Look for discoloration, moisture accumulation, or mold growth around the window frames. If you notice any leaks, identify the source, and repair it promptly to prevent further damage.

Check caulking and sealant: Examine the caulking and sealant around the window frames. Look for any gaps or cracks that could allow air or water to enter your home. Remove old caulking and reapply a fresh bead of caulk to maintain a watertight seal.

Trim nearby vegetation: Trim any bushes, trees, or plants near the windows that may obstruct or damage the windows. This prevents them from rubbing against the windows during strong winds, which could cause scratches or other damage. Overgrown vegetation can scratch or damage the glass, so it’s important to keep it trimmed.

Consider window treatments: If you experience excessive heat gain through your windows, consider applying window treatments to reduce the amount of excessive sunlight and heat. This can help reduce the strain on your cooling system and protect your furniture from fading. Window treatments can help improve energy efficiency and keep your home cooler during hot summer days.

Test window operation: Open and close each window to ensure they are operating smoothly. If you encounter any issues, such as sticking or difficulty opening, it may be a sign of a larger problem that needs to be addressed.

Inspect and clean window wells: If you have basement windows with window wells, ensure they are clear of debris and functioning properly. Clean out any leaves, dirt, or other materials that may have accumulated. This prevents water buildup and potential leaks.

By following these summer maintenance tips, you can keep your windows in excellent condition and enjoy the benefits of natural light and fresh air throughout the season. Ensure that your windows remain in optimal condition, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the overall comfort of your home by keeping your windows as optimized as possible.
