Advantages of Sliding Windows

Posted on | by nwfam
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.

    Simple Ways to Detect Drafty Windows & Doors

    Posted on | by nwfam
    Drafty Windows & Doors | New Windows for America | Denver Replacement Windows

    Does it seem like your house is colder than normal? Do you find yourself having to increase the temperature on your thermostat, put on another sweater or extra socks, or bundle up in a warm, cozy blanket because it’s too cold in your house? Your house may be leaking precious heat from drafty windows and doors!

    Are you finding your energy bills increasing – more than usual? The rates of natural gas and electricity have been increasing due to global supply volatility and supply chain issues. There are ways that you can make your home more energy efficient. There are numerous places within your home that are susceptible to air leaks, however, the common culprits are drafty windows or doors. There are some tips to quickly figure out where the warm air may be escaping, however first we need to figure out what is causing the draft and energy loss in your home.

    What Causes Drafty Windows or Doors?

    When drafty windows and doors become a source of air leaks and increased energy bills, it is a telltale sign that they have probably reached the end of their lifespan. 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. If your caulking is old or insufficient, it will allow gaps to form between the frame and siding. Another issue could be that your windows or doors have broken seals, which are the layers in between the layers of glass.

    Are your Windows & Doors Properly Sealed & Insulated?

    You could save as much as 15% on your energy bills by making sure your windows and doors are properly sealed and insulated.  Older windows and doors are prone to drafts as they lack modern insulation and weatherproofing. In addition, sealants used to help to close air gaps naturally break over time from wear and tear.

    Start with a simple visual inspection. Look for visible cracks around the frames of the windows and/or doors. Also, check the caulking and weather stripping. Are they cracked or are they even there? If so, then you have air leaks.

    Inspect the individual panes of glass for damaged glazing, or any splits or cracks. To check for air leaks, take a wet or damp hand, and hover your hand over the windows or doors. This is best to do on a windy day for maximum results. The damp hand will help you feel any drafts as you will be able to feel the cold air on your hand. Another option is to lightly push on your windows. Do you feel any movement or hear any rattling them? If the answer is yes, then chances are that you have an air leak and are losing precious heat (and your hard-earned money) literally out the window.

    An easy, and free solution for you to try a simple air leak detection is to just hold a light piece of toilet paper or paper around the window or door frame. If there is a gap or air leak, the paper will move. You could also try to open your window and place a piece of paper on the windowsill, then close the window. Try to tug the paper out. Does it come out too easily? Then you have an air gap. If you can’t pull the paper out without some resistance, then your weatherstripping is holding up.

    Air Leak Detectors

    Need a professional opinion? The Team at New Windows for America has the proper equipment to detect your windows and doors to check for air leaks. This test creates an environment that increases the infiltration of air through the cracks in your house. We can help detect and magnify the drafts in your windows and doors making them more easily identifiable and help you determine whether your house could benefit from investing in new, energy-efficient windows or doors.

    Even though window replacement may seem expensive, and can sometimes be a large project, when you out weight the cost of heating a drafty home for the cost of replacing your windows, you will find the benefit in no time with your new windows and doors. Finding and being able to rely on an expert window company that has experienced, and professional contractors will help to not disrupt your daily routine, as well as give you, the homeowner, the peace of mind of knowing that the job is done correctly, efficiently, and effectively.

    Replacing windows and doors is a relatively quick and easy home improvement project and the benefits are many. If you are seeing any visible signs of drafty windows, give us a call at 303.920.0175 and the team at New Windows for America can help you with your window or door replacement needs.

    Understanding Energy-Efficient Windows

    Posted on | by nwfam
    Understanding Energy-Efficient Windows | Denver Replacement Windows

    With the cooler weather now upon us, Colorado residents are looking for ways to keep their homes warm, without increasing their heating bills. An effective way of doing this is installing new energy-efficient windows. Did you know that up to 30% of your heating and cooling energy use is attributed to heat gain and loss through windows (according to Energy.gov)? New Windows for America can help you choose the best energy-efficient windows for your home, and for our harsh Colorado climate.

    What Makes a Window Energy Efficient

    Energy-efficient windows are designed to prevent heated or cooled air from escaping your home.  The benefits are minimizing energy consumption with lower electric bills while enjoying comfortable and consistent temperatures in your home. Some key elements to consider are the glass, frame, and style of the window.

    Double and triple-pane windows have several layers of glass where the space is filled with an inert gas such as argon and krypton, secured by a space. The combination of a gas filler and spacer enhances the windows’ ability to resist heat transfer. Windows with these features are ideal for areas that experience great temperature variances. If you have an older home, you may have single-pane windows which are not very effective or energy efficient.

    For more information about how to choose the right window for you, click here!

    Window Efficiency Terms You Should Know

    Windows, along with doors, can attribute to heat loss or heat gain. Some of the vocabulary associated with energy-efficient windows may be overwhelming. Here are some of the commonly used terms that may be helpful for you.

    Low-E Glass

    Low-Emissivity (Low-E) glass has been treated with a thin microscopic metallic coating which is designed to filter the amount of UV light entering your home. By filtering out the UV light with the Low-E glass it will keep your home’s temperature more consistent year-round. An added benefit is that it helps to prevent fading on your furniture and window treatments.

    U-Factor

    A window’s U-factor refers to the amount of heat conducted through a window. The lower a window’s U-factor, the more energy efficient it is.

    R-Value

    Looks for windows with a high R-value, which refers to how well it conducts heat as well as the material’s insulation level.

    Insulated Glass

    With double or triple-pane windows, there is a small gap in between each pane of glass. This gap is filled with argon, an inert gas, that insulates better than regular air, thereby making the window more energy efficient.

    Warm Edge Spacers

    On a cold day, try touching your windows. Are they colder along the edges? Do they have any condensation along the edge? In some windows, panes of glass are separated by aluminum, a very conductive material. Warm edge spacers are made with a less conductive material and help to prevent heat from being transferred along the outer edges of the windows.

    Frame Material

    A window frame helps to provide support while holding the main parts of your window in place. Looking for a quality frame that is going to be strong and energy efficient at the same time is important. Window frames can be made from vinyl, fiberglass, metal, or wood. Modern window frames offer high energy efficiency with window technology continually improving. Window frames can reduce air filtration and leakage helping to improve overall comfort and energy loss in your home.  Lastly, frames can add some serious style and curb appeal to the exterior of your home.

    At New Windows for America, we install all types of energy-efficient windows and can help you decide which window will best fit your home and budget. We are committed to helping you save money by installing energy-efficient windows, doors, and siding.

    Leave Window Replacement to the Pros

    Posted on | by nwfam
    Leave Window Replacement to the Professionals | Denver Replacement Windows | New Windows for America

    Our homes are our sanctuary, and we only want the very best for our house, for safety, as well as design and comfort. If you’re considering replacing your old windows, our recommendation is that you should leave this to a professional. Many homeowners believe that it will save them money if they do their own home improvement projects. While there are many house projects homeowners can do themselves, there are some remodeling projects that are best left to the professionals.

    Professional installers have the right skills, tools, and knowledge to handle window installation projects, as well as the latest industry knowledge. Consulting with a window expert like New Windows for America is important when considering whether you need new windows, what type of windows is best for the home, and having a professional, and reputable company to do the job.

    Read on for five reasons why replacing windows should be done by a professional.

    Installation Quality

    Windows are some of the most important and significant components of your home, influencing your energy efficiency, curb appeal and comfort. Installing windows takes experience and knowledge which is why window replacement installation should not be done by a novice, but rather by hiring the skills of a window expert. Starting from selecting the right windows, to pre-installation custom measurements, protecting the home and work area, removing old windows, working on frame repair, if necessary, to installing the replacement window, sealing and insulation, applying trim, etc., there are many steps that a window installation expert will ensure when hired to do a professional window replacement.

    If windows are not installed properly you may end up losing a lot of energy from the home, which could be quite costly for your energy costs. If installed properly, the return on your investment will be paid back in no time!

    Warranty Protection

    Window manufacturing companies typically only warranty their products when installed by certified contractors. Professional window replacement comes with a manufacturer’s warranty as well as a workmanship warranty from New Windows for America that guarantees the quality of the service. Should you decide to install the windows yourself, there are no guarantees, and could also count towards a voided manufacturer’s warranty.

    Time

    There’s no sense in putting in extra time for your DIY project to only encounter issues later on. Spending extra time to learn how to do the project, using the right techniques, and having to purchase the necessary tools to do the job are timely and costly. At New Windows for America, we have been installing new windows in the Denver area for over 25 years. We have the knowledge, tools, and experience to do the job in a timely manner.

    Safety

    It’s no secret that working with windows can be dangerous. You’re dealing with sharp edges, slanted or awkward angles, and heavy pieces of glass. That doesn’t even include the stress that can come with DIY projects that involve heights. Your best bet is to leave the job to the pros. We have the right protective gear to ensure the work area is safe for you and our team.

    Peace of Mind

    Worrying about whether your home renovation project is done correctly is not worth it. Hiring a professional means, you will be assured that your project is completed properly. A professional can put in the extra time needed and double-check your work to ensure things are right. You don’t have to pay attention to it while they’re at work!

    The Bottom Line

    We would recommend choosing a professional window installation company. If you choose to do it yourself, you may not get it completely right and could leave you with a risky and expensive project on your hands. Get at least one professional bid before deciding which company to use.

    Rest easy, in knowing that your windows were replaced correctly, and professionally by a locally and family-owned business like New Windows for America. Contact our team today and get a free estimate on your new windows.

    Window Safety Tips for Families with Kids

    Posted on | by nwfam
    Window Safety tips for families | Denver Window replacement | New Windows for America

    At New Windows for America, we care about the safety of you and your family. Unfortunately every year, about 3,300 children below the age of five visit emergency rooms for injuries resulting from window accidents. Falls from window-related injuries are common in hospital emergency rooms. You want your children to be kept safe, which is why we recommend you review window safety tips and keep your windows childproof. There are several ways to protect your child, including keeping an eye on them, but when that is not possible, we have some important tips to share below.

    Install Childproof Locks

    Keep your windows safe, and keep them locked whenever they are closed. This is not just to secure your home, but also to prevent curious children. This way, an innocent child leaning on a closed window will not get hurt or worse, fall out of a window. If the windows do not have locks, start by installing them. There are several childproof locks available for any type of window you may have in your home. These locks are simple to install. Just remember, whenever the windows are not in use, lock them.

    Install Window Guards

    Window guards provide extra protection when the window frame does not prevent falls. These guards provide the grill that ensures kids do not fall off even when a window is open. Most of the available guards will install on most types of windows. However, look for guards with an emergency release mechanism in case of an emergency.

    Use Cordless Window Coverings and Folding Window Cranks

    Window covering cords are a danger to children. Many children die from being strangled by these cords. To prevent that, use cordless window coverings. If you already have corded window blinds, consider temporarily removing them until you find a replacement. Window cranks are also not safe unless they are foldable. Remove the window cranks to ensure that kids do not accidentally open them.

    Keep Furniture Away from the Windows

    Children love peeking outside the window. As such, if your windows are not childproof, you need to ensure they have no means to climb up and peek through the window. Place furniture and any other means of climbing away from the windows.

    Talk to Children About Window Safety

    Even with all the features above, you still want to ensure that your kids know about the dangers of falling from a window. This is especially important when you have older kids that might protect the younger ones from falling off windows. Do not assume that window screens will help as these only keep off insects. Talk to your kids from a young age about window safety.

    Replace your Old Windows with New, Modern Windows

    Some old windows do not have the security features as many new windows have. Old windows could be warped and out of balance and have signs of deterioration causing them to be difficult to open or close. This is especially dangerous if you are not able to use your windows as an emergency exit if the need arises. Modern window replacements also offer better UV protection, keeping your children and family safe from UV rays.

    Talk to one of our team members at New Windows for America today about options for replacing the windows you have with newer, safer windows. New Windows for America will show you options and help ensure the safety of your home by installing high-quality and childproof windows right for your home and family.

    Trending Window Styles & Designs for 2022

    Posted on | by nwfam

    Magazines, influencers, social media posts, and insights from homestyle professionals all point to what is trending for design ideas for our homes. Deciding on the best window style can sometimes be confusing.

    Here are some of the current window design trends and ideas to give your house an updated change:

    Black Exterior Trim

    Using rich colors on window frames has become increasingly popular, adding drama to your home’s exterior, and elevating curb appeal. Black and colored exterior trim is commonly used to reflect individuality and a distinct personality for one’s home.  Choosing a colored trim can offer a bold contrast giving your home a unique look and feel.

    Vinyl window frames require much less frequent maintenance than painted wood windows and are used widely by many of today’s top remodeling designers. Noting also that black windows can often add up to 15% more value than regular white windows.

    New Windows for America proudly offers VinylMax windows in a number of different series such as Edison, Inspire, Trend, and Prestige that offer colored laminated exteriors. Please contact us to learn more about these trending window styles.

    Flexible Living

    Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have quickly become a way to expand the living space for flexible use, adding on to one’s home, above a garage, or a stand-alone building on your property. To create consistency and uniformity in your home, it is important to coordinate the style, shape, size, and color with your main property.

    The Team at New Windows for America can offer helpful design options to work within your budget.

    Privacy or Translucent Glass

    Privacy or translucent glass obscures the view from both sides allowing the light to still peek through. Depending on your home, some of your windows may lack privacy while at the same time owners still want the flexibility of having natural light. Privacy glass can be an option for those homeowners who may want to create private spaces within their homes. Some options for privacy glass can come in frosted, tinted, textured, patterned, and opaque glass.

    Custom Shaped Windows

    No two rooms are exactly the same! Give your house some unexpected character by adding an arched, or circular window.  The look and function of the windows in your home can be designed to fit your design vision.

    Bringing the Outside, In!

    Choosing floor-to-ceiling windows is an amazing option for optimizing daylight and enjoying sweeping views from the comfort of your home. It is important for people to interact with or be close to nature, plants, and animals. Having large windows can make people feel more connected to nature and the environment, in the privacy of their own homes.

    Are you ready for your next home improvement project? Let the Team at New Windows for America be a part of your project! We can help you understand the energy efficiency of new windows, as well as provide you with options for window design and styles, all to fit within your budget.

    Window Location

    The location of a window can add to the expense of a window replacement. Code requirements for windows in the bathrooms, bedrooms, etc., can add to cost, for example, tempered glass, or egress requirements, as well as specialty or decorative windows, which can also increase the price. There may be additional costs for windows on upper floors, or hard-to-reach areas as installations can cause increased labor costs, special equipment, or more time to complete a project.

    Create a Budget

    Often times homeowners need to replace multiple windows at one time. It is a good idea to create a budget for the cost of the entire project prior to getting started.
