Fun Ideas on How to Keep Cool this Summer in Colorado

Posted on July 20, 2023 | 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.

Things to Consider When Purchasing a Patio Door

Posted on July 13, 2023 | 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

Posted on July 6, 2023 | 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 June 29, 2023 | 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 June 22, 2023 | 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.

Summer Maintenance Tips for Your Windows

Posted on June 15, 2023 | 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.

Summer is a Great Time to Replace Your Front Door

Posted on June 8, 2023 | by nwfam

Welcome the beautiful Colorado Summer by preparing your entry door for the new season! With the warmer weather approaching, summer is a great time to replace your front door, although it can be replaced at any time of year.

A new front door can completely change the look of your home. Is your front door looking a little tired? Think about how many times in a day your front door is opened and closed. Now think about the last time you replaced your front door. If you have been maintaining your front door properly, your front door could last anywhere from 30-100 years. However, perhaps your style has changed, or you want to add a sidelight, or maybe you are just ready for a new look. Your front door may be overlooked during renovations and updating your home this spring. Take a second look at your front door especially for damage, annoying drafts, and perhaps it is even outdated.

Top reasons why you should consider Replacing Your Front Door this Summer

Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Older doors often lack proper insulation and weatherstripping, leading to leaky drafts and energy loss. By installing a new, energy-efficient door, you can improve insulation, reduce air leaks, and potentially lower your energy bills.

Improved Security

If your current front door is old, weak, or damaged, it may not provide adequate security for your home. Upgrading to a newer door with sturdy materials and advanced locking mechanisms can enhance the safety of your property.

Boost Curb Appeal

The front door is one of the first things your guests notice about your home and is the face of your home. Installing a new front door can significantly enhance the overall appearance and curb appeal of your house. At New Windows for America, we offer options! You can choose from a variety of manufacturers, designs, colors, and materials to complement your home’s style and budget.

Increased Home Value

Upgrading your front door can be an investment that pays off. A visually appealing and high-quality door can add value to your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell.

Noise Reduction

If you live in a noisy neighborhood or near a busy street, replacing your front door with a well-insulated one can help reduce the amount of outside noise that enters your home, providing a quieter and more peaceful living environment.

Improved Functionality

Over time, doors can become warped, making them difficult to open, close, or lock properly. A new door will operate smoothly, ensuring ease of use and hassle-free functionality.

Improved Weather Resistance

Weather conditions can take a toll on your front door. Exposure to sunlight, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures can cause fading, warping, or rotting. By installing a new door built to withstand the elements, you can ensure better durability and longevity.

Allergen Prevention

If you or your family members suffer from allergies, an old door with deteriorated seals and gaps can allow dust, pollen, and other allergens to enter your home. A new door with proper sealing can help reduce the infiltration of these particles and improve indoor air quality.

Summer Savings with Energy-Efficient Windows

Posted on June 1, 2023 | by nwfam

Summer is the perfect time to upgrade to energy-efficient windows! You can help to save on your energy bills this summer as well as improve the overall comfort, curb appeal, and aesthetics of your home.

Top Reasons How Energy-Efficient Windows Can Contribute to Your Summer Savings:

Reduce Your Cooling Costs

Energy-efficient windows are specifically designed to minimize heat transfer and keep your home cooler during the summer. These windows have advanced glazing technologies, such as low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and multiple panes with insulating gas fills, which can help to block the sun’s heat and harmful UV rays from entering your home. This reduces your need to rely so heavily on your air conditioning, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced cooling costs.

Improved insulation

Energy-efficient windows feature enhanced insulation properties, helping to prevent hot air from entering your home and cool air from escaping. By creating a more stable indoor environment, you can rely less on your air conditioner and fans to help maintain a comfortable temperature in your home, which will result in energy savings.

Natural ventilation

Energy-efficient windows are often designed to assist with natural ventilation, especially on those cooler summer days and nights. These replacement windows can be equipped with features like adjustable openings, insect screens, and strategic placement to allow for cross-ventilation and fresh air circulation. The ability of natural ventilation can also help to reduce the need for your air conditioner and improve your home’s indoor air quality.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

Energy-efficient windows can offer different levels of solar heat gain control based on your specific needs. Ask the team at New Windows for America about the windows best suited for your home, and the direction of your home. Windows with a lower solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) allow less solar heat to enter your home, reducing the need for cooling. By selecting windows with the appropriate SHGC rating for your climate, you can optimize energy savings.

Long-term savings

Replacing your old windows with energy-efficient windows offers long-term savings. With reduced energy consumption, you can expect lower utility bills over time, offsetting the initial investment. Ask us about how you can save with the new tax credits to help with your energy savings.

Increased Home Value & Curb Appeal

Energy-efficient upgrades, including windows, can boost your home’s value and improve your home’s curb appeal. Potential buyers often prioritize energy efficiency and may be willing to pay a premium for a home with energy-efficient features. So, in addition to enjoying summer savings, you may also reap the benefits when it comes time to sell your property.

Energy-efficient windows can provide heat reduction, improved insulation, UV radiation protection, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced comfort in your home during the hot Colorado summer months. While energy-efficient windows can contribute to summer savings, it’s important to also consider other factors like insulation, shading, and overall home energy efficiency to maximize the benefits and savings.

Are you ready to save this summer with new energy-efficient replacement windows?

If you are ready to enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home this summer, while also enjoying beautiful new energy-efficient windows, then call us today! Remember to ask us about 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 range of energy-efficient windows, doors, and siding.

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.
