10 Creative Kitchen Window Ideas & Decorating Tips

A white kitchen exudes timeless sophistication. With a bright and airy canvas, you can easily add your own style with backsplashes, lighting, hardware, etc., in a wide variety of colors, textures, and styles.

Consider adding a white or creative and colorful backsplash to complement white window frames to balance light and space.
Upgrade to a new range or updated vent hoods, which can often feel more like a statement piece or a piece of furniture.
For the kitchen walls, a warm natural color or gray paint can tone down the brightness or add a splash of color with wallpaper or brighter wall color.
Replace your countertop with a natural stone or wood to warm up the space.
Update your lighting fixtures especially at the island and over the kitchen sink area.
Add some texture to your chairs and stools by adding slipcovers.
Switch out the kitchen flooring with a fun geometric tile, porcelain, or durable stone tile.

Understanding Energy-Efficient Windows

Posted on November 17, 2022 | by nwfam

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.

Window Safety Tips for Families with Kids

Posted on October 27, 2022 | 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 October 20, 2022 | by nwfam

Window Styles and Designs | New Windows for America | Denver's Most Trusted Window Installer

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.

Weighing out the pros and cons of each material is something you should talk to the Team at New Windows for America, to help make the best decision for your budget and for your home.

Can Replacing Your Windows Add Value to Your Home?

Posted on October 6, 2022 | by nwfam

Windows are an integral part of your home. Replacing them adds immediate curb appeal, but also increases your property value significantly. The added value of new windows is the subject of hot debate among building experts. Here are some points you may consider when deciding whether to replace your home windows.

Determine if your Windows need to be Replaced

Are your windows starting to look warped, discolored, or foggy? This is typically a sign that moisture is starting to seep in, and your windows may be at risk for rot or decay. Are your energy bills noticeably higher? Energy inefficiency can dramatically increase your energy bills, a costly sign that it may be time to replace your windows.

If you’re not sure if your windows need to be replaced, give the Team at New Windows for America a call at 303.920.0175 and we will give our honest opinion.

Save Money with Energy-Efficient Windows

Replacing your windows with new ones will make your home more energy efficient. Double-pane windows don’t just save money on heating and air-conditioning costs, and they also help protect the environment. Each year Americans lose so much money on wasteful heating and cooling systems. Replacing old windows with energy-efficient ones can significantly cut these costs down.

The National Fenestration Rating Council, or NFRC, offers energy performance rating labels for window types that can tell you a lot about the efficiency of any particular window. While shopping for window replacements, these labels will be a great way to tell which windows will improve your energy efficiency quickly.

Do New Windows Increase Home Value?

Windows are an integral part of your home’s value. Some experts even recommend replacing windows if you plan to sell your home within two years because investing in window replacement can significantly improve the market value of your property and give you a better return on investment.

Most home buyers are willing to pay more for homes that have more energy-efficient features. Investing in new windows is one excellent way to improve energy efficiency.

How New Windows Can Save Your Money

You could earn up to 30% tax credit with new energy-efficient windows. Click here to read more! We can help you with what options are best for your home.

The potentially high cost of new home windows may be intimidating. The return on investment for new windows may not be apparent for quite some time. CNBC reported that paying $10,000 for replacement vinyl windows could yield a return of about $8,500 – or an ROI of 85%. This is also on top of what you would save monthly with reduced energy bills – up to $450 per year.

New Windows will improve your Curb Appeal

If you’re looking for ways to give your home a facelift, replace old windows with new ones. Replacing windows can not only increase your home’s value, but it can also boost the aesthetic appeal of your property. In addition, your neighbors won’t be jealous of you when they see your newly designed windows and will want to get the same treatment. This is a smart investment, especially if you plan to sell shortly.

New Windows are a Smart Investment

Replacing your windows is a smart investment. The added value of new windows is worth it. Whether you replace your windows for aesthetic purposes or to improve the energy efficiency of your property, you’ll be glad you did.

Awning Windows

An awning window, sometimes also called a project-out window, is a top-hinged style window outward opening window providing maximum airflow and ventilation. They sit horizontally and are usually installed above or below stationary windows. Awning windows are a versatile option and commonly used in basements.

Bay Windows

Bay windows feature panels using several angles, to create an alcove. They are a perfect option for rooms that bring in natural light such as the dining room, living room, or bedroom. Bay Windows can add curb appeal and value as they instantly become a focal point and point of interest.

Bow Windows

Bow windows, much like bay windows, are made up of four or more panels, creating a curved semi-circular shape. This option is flexible in terms of size, shape, and functionality and can provide an elegant and expansive view, not to mention an increased curb appeal.

Casement Windows

These windows are the most popular style of window. Casement windows are hinged at the side and crank to the outside, providing a sophisticated yet practical style to your home. This window style is typically installed in the kitchen as they are easy to open and close as well as provides maximum airflow and ventilation.

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.

Single Hung Windows

Another common window style is single-hung windows. These windows are ideal for patios, sunrooms, or any other room in your home.

Common Window Replacement Mistakes

Posted on September 19, 2022 | by nwfam

Installing replacement windows is one of those home projects where you will want to call professionals to install your windows. The team at New Windows for America is the only professional team you should trust as Denver’s window replacement experts where we will work to complete each job right every time, and help you choose the right window for your home.

If you want to end up with an energy-efficient, smooth operating, and long-lasting window, every step of the installation process needs to be executed with the greatest attention to detail.

Here are some of the most common window replacement mistakes and some useful tips that will help you avoid them.

Basing Window Choice on Price

Window prices vary depending on style, size, and brand. New Windows for America will help you choose a window based on your budget, as well as the right fit for your home.

Incorrect Measurements

It is very important to install the correct size replacement window. When measuring for new windows we must always account for settling out of square and the condition of the substrate. New windows are typically deeper windows so we must account for the extra depth by cutting drywall back or adding new trim boards. Our replacement windows are custom-made to the ¹/8” to ensure proper fit and installation.

Rely on the experts at New Windows for America to take exact measurements for the best-fitting window for your home.

Flashings and Proper Installation

Replacement windows should be installed in the same footprint as existing windows, utilizing the existing drip cap flashing if possible. If the existing drip cap flashing cannot be utilized then a new drip cap must be installed. Typically, replacement windows are a block retrofit type installation. With this type of manufacturer-approved installation, the existing window can be removed, and the new window installed without damaging the interior or exterior trims and finishes. Before installing the new window, we must clean the opening of all dust and debris and install a self-adhered flashing sill pan.

If you aren’t sure what to look for, our professional installers at New Windows for America can help. We will ensure that the window opening is adequately prepared and measured before placing your new window.

The New Windows for America team will only recommend the right replacement windows for your home and will help you select the appropriate installation materials to keep the window securely in place.

Using the wrong spray foam

Filling the cavity around the entire perimeter of the window with expanding spray foam could prevent unwelcome water from escaping back to the outdoors. Also, dispensing too much foam or the use of high-expanding foam could bow wood jams or even distort a window frame.

Not following manufacturer instructions

While all windows share similar installation procedures, most of them have unique requirements based on extensive laboratory and field testing.

Upon installation, we will provide you with instructions and best practices from the window manufacturer. Following the instructions will also prevent voiding the warranty.

Not reading reviews before you hire a contractor

Reading reviews is one of the most important things you can do prior to meeting with a company. Search reviews on Google, Angi, Yelp, or a similar website to see what other consumers are saying about their experience with the companies you are interviewing.

New Windows for America has numerous 5-star reviews, you can read through them here.

Not understanding lead times before ordering

Lead time is an estimated time from when the order is placed to when the product is delivered to the destination.

We will be in constant communication with you on when the windows will be ordered, delivered, and installed so that you will have clear expectations and can plan accordingly.
