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.

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.

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.

Beat the Summer Heat with New Energy Efficient Windows

Beat the Summer Heat with New Energy-Efficient Windows

Posted on | 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.

Are you ready to save on your Energy Bills this summer with new energy-efficient replacement windows?

By investing in new energy-efficient windows, you can effectively beat the summer heat, maintain a cooler home, reduce your reliance on using your air conditioning, and potentially save on energy costs. Call us today and take advantage of our FACTORY-DIRECT PRICING on our windows and doors.

Give Your Mom the Gift of a Garden Window | New Windows for America

Give Your Mom the Gift of a Garden Window

Posted on | by nwfam

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

What is a Garden Window?

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

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

What are some of the benefits of a garden window?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are you ready to install a Kitchen Garden Window in Your Home?

If a garden window sounds like something you are considering, or perhaps a gift for your mom for Mother’s Day, call us for a FREE In-Home Estimate! Start enjoying an abundance of light, a perfect spot for your herbs and plants, and energy-efficient windows for your Denver home.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Curb Appeal

Posted on | by nwfam
The Do’s and Don’ts of Curb Appeal | Denver Replacement Windows

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

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

DO’s:

Lawn Care:

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

Outdoor Lighting:

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

Add Color with Flowers and Plants

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

Brush Up on Your Exterior House Spring Cleaning

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

Paint or Replace the Front Door

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

DON’Ts:

Over-Decorate

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

Clutter

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

Neglect the driveway, sidewalk, and walkways!

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

Ignore your home’s exterior:

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

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

Top 5 Signs Your Windows Need to be Replaced

Posted on | by nwfam
Top 5 Signs Your Windows Need to be Replaced | Denver Window Replacement

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

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

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

Are your windows showing visible signs of damage?

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

Are your windows difficult to open or close?

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

Are your windows drafty?

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

Are your windows letting in too much noise?

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

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

Are your energy bills increasing?

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

As in true Colorado fashion, we are still getting snow this spring. Even though snow is great for moisture, we may all be getting a little tired of the cold having been spoiled by the warm Colorado sun. But don’t let the weather deter you from starting to think about giving your home a refresh! The temperatures are starting to (kind of) warm up, and the days are getting longer! Spring is on its way, and it is time to clean up and clear out any traces of the brutal and long Colorado winter we have had this year. Refresh your home’s exterior look, and help boost its curb appeal, so you and your neighbors can fall in love with your home again!

New Windows for America has been serving the Denver metro area, and all up and down the front range for over 25 years with professional window replacement installation, including doors and siding as well. We are a local, and family-owned business with over 125 5-star Google reviews.

Consider Replacing your Old Windows, Exterior Doors, or Siding

Custom energy-efficient windows, new exterior doors, and updated siding can greatly enhance the curb appeal of your home. Installing ENERGY-STAR® qualified windows and doors can also help to lower your energy bills and save you money. New Windows for America offers custom windows to fit every style and budget of your home.

Refresh Your Landscaping

  • Inspect your trees and shrubs and be on the lookout for cracks, broken limbs, or seasonal effects. Your trees and shrubs could benefit from some pruning to encourage new growth.
    Consult a tree or shrub expert for additional help as they also can help with insect activity.
  • Add fresh mulch to help protect your trees and shrubs as it acts as a protective barrier and prevents weeds from emerging.
  • Add plants and flowers to give a welcome and warm entrance. Consult your local nursery for advice on different plants and flowers and of course the best time to plant.

Add Outdoor Lighting

Adding outside lighting features can help highlight your home, increase your time spent outside, improve safety and security, and increase your property value. Consider replacing exterior light fixtures, adding pathway lights, or garden lights, or even some home security lights.

Clean up your Home’s Exterior

Give your home a fresh and clean look, by power washing the exterior of your home, cleaning your windows, sweeping off your front porch, and clearing out your gutters and downspouts. For more tips on spring home maintenance tips, click here.
