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.

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.

Custom Residential Windows versus Big Box Stores

Custom Residential Windows versus Big Box Stores | Denver Residential Windows | Replacement Windows

It can be overwhelming and confusing trying to figure out what window replacement company you want to hire for your window replacement needs. All windows are not created equal! There are a lot of choices out there from big-box stores to large nationwide companies and local companies. Who do you choose to replace the windows in your home? It is important to be an informed consumer, especially with a large purchase.

We are here to help you! We encourage you to educate yourself about the quality of window products, what kind of support you can expect from sales staff and installers, and the warranty of the product. The team at New Windows for America is available to answer any questions you may have about our window replacement products.

Custom Residential Windows

Investing in custom windows ensures that you will enjoy exact measurements of your current window and wall opening with an accurate fit.  Custom windows are designed for your exact dimensions and made to fit any size opening without compromising the structure of your home. Having a local, experienced, and knowledgeable sales staff that will take time to go through options or answer any questions you may have is invaluable.  

Our professional staff will take exact measurements, creating custom windows for the exact openings will ensure that your new window will fit perfectly, and guarantee there will be no problems with drafts or air leakage. Custom windows that are fitted properly will ensure that they perform better, and are more energy efficient, offering optimal thermal performance, and saving you time and money.

Standard Big-Box Store Windows

If you choose to purchase your windows from a big-box store, you are limited to standard sizes, designs, and options.  You are stuck with whatever size, style, and features they have in stock. These windows are purchased in bulk by window manufacturers and shipped to the stores, and typically are of lower quality from being mass produced. Quality control is an issue as mass-produced windows are not fabricated individually like custom windows. If these windows are not fitted or installed correctly these windows could lead to leaking, premature wear, and tear, and could end with long-term issues for your home.  Homeowners may see a short-term benefit with paying a reduced cost and keeping overhead low, but in the long run, you are risking energy efficiency, possible water damage for poor installation, and overall headache from trying to do it yourself.

More Options with Custom Windows

Choosing from a wide range of products from New Windows for America affords you a wide variety of options such as material, colors, styles, finishes, and hardware options much more than you have with standard windows. This gives you complete control over the appearance, quality, style, and design you want for your home.

Increased Value to your Home

Custom windows not only enhance the curb appeal of your home, but also increase the value of your home as they are longer-lasting, more durable, and have better manufacturer warranties.

The team at New Windows for America is ready to help you get a fresh look for your home in 2023! We have the experience, knowledge, and the local company you want to use for your interior and exterior updates, and can help you with choosing the most beautiful, energy-efficient windows and doors.

Window, Door, and Interior Design Trends to Look for in 2023

Posted on | by nwfam
Window, Door, and Interior Design Trends to Look for in 2023

The new year is a great time to start fresh and evaluate your home’s needs and refresh your living spaces. The latest interior design trends have been leaning toward creating inviting, unique and comfortable spaces. 2023 is no different and furthers some of the trends we have noticed in the past couple of years. If you want to update your home, here are some trends to look forward to in 2023.

Black Window Frames

One of the simplest ways to get in on the latest trend of dark interior design is to choose a dark interior window frame. Although a bold black color can make some people nervous, this color is becoming more of a new neutral adding a sophisticated pop of color to your home. Black frames are versatile, complementing most interior designs, and make a subtle statement to your home.

Go Natural and Get in Touch with Nature

Make your house feel more vibrant and alive, and bring the outside in by incorporating houseplants, and greenery throughout your home. Known as the biophilic trend, it’s a way to create a sense of harmony between your home and the world outside, and is on track to be one of the biggest interior design trends of 2023.

You can also accomplish this by installing large picture windows, taking advantage of the outdoors, and seemingly bringing the indoors with light and views of the outside. Another option would be to create an indoor-outdoor connection by installing sliding doors to further your living space beyond your living room. Use your windows to breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sounds of nature, and boost your mood by letting the daylight in.

Art Deco Style

Celebrate the art deco trend and a touch of opulence by incorporating different window shapes into your home with maximalist shapes and geometrics. The Art Deco Glamour Trend is different than the traditional art deco as it brings a little more of the rich colors, bold geometry, and notable architectural shapes and elements. Bring eye-catching window shapes to match the architectural style of your home, use large art deco-style mirrors to add light to the room, and then accessorize with vases, frames, and home décor that includes touches of gold and elegance.

Vintage Design

Honor your home’s architectural design by matching the windows to your house’s style and roots. Bay and bow windows typically lend themselves to a craftsman or ranch-style home, whereas a Victorian-style home pairs well with single or double-hung windows. You can further complement your home’s design by using family heirlooms, and vintage décor from antique or thrift stores, and restoring their natural design spaces instead of doing a complete renovation job.

Sustainability & Going Green

For consumers and businesses, the importance of going green and being sustainable has risen greatly in the past couple of years. New Windows for America is proud to represent brands that are concerned with reducing waste, using appropriate materials, conserving natural resources, and improving air and water quality while at the same time protecting ecosystems and biodiversity. Vinylmax, Pella, and Milgard are just some of the brands that New Windows for America represents that are committed to improving sustainability in their products.

For consumers, you can also do your part by purchasing energy-efficient windows and making energy-saving improvements to your home. Becoming energy efficient is an easy and cost-effective way to combat climate change, but also reduces your energy costs. Energy efficiency saves money, increases the resilience and reliability of the electric grid, and provides environmental, community, and health benefits.

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.

5 Things to Look For When Choosing Replacement Windows in Denver or Boulder

Posted on | by nwfam
Choosing Replacement Windows Denver

When you need replacement windows for your home in Denver or Boulder, it can be tempting to simply make a few calls, or take a trip down to your local home improvement store. After all, you probably want new windows installed into your home quickly… not to mention at the lowest possible cost.

But, there is more to choosing the right windows than simply finding the right price, or a set of glass in frames. In fact, years of experience have taught us that there are five important things you should look for when choosing replacement windows in Denver or Boulder:

Quality

Although a lot of different replacement windows, and companies, can all look the same, some brands are more reliable than others. In many cases, you can spot differences in quality simply by feeling the windows with your hands. Looking at the warranties that are offered is a good way to see what kind of quality is available, as well.

Energy efficiency

As we all know, living in Colorado means dealing with heat, cold, and everything in between – sometimes all in the same month. Having replacement windows that are energy-efficient saves you money and makes your home more comfortable.

Free Estimates

One of our qualified window professionals will arrange for your free in-home estimate with no further obligation from you. It’s quick, easy and we offer an exceptional price that nobody can match for the quality of products you are receiving.

Factory direct sales

Although there aren’t many businesses like ours that offer factory-direct sales to the public, you shouldn’t settle for anything less. That’s because buying factory-direct replacement windows can help you save a lot of money. Plus, when you cut out the middleman, you can get better answers to your most important questions.

Choosing the right Colorado replacement window company

Although products and policies are very important, so is working with the right business. That’s because the right replacement window company is going to stand by what they sell, making sure you are satisfied with your purchase (and the installation) at every step in the process.

All windows aren’t the same, and you only want the best for your home. That’s why you should do what hundreds of other Colorado homeowners have and call or visit New Windows for America today. We’ll help you find the Denver or Boulder home replacement windows that are perfect for you!

Posted on | by nwfam

Energy Efficient Window Denver Boulder ColoradoVisitors to Colorado know us for our gorgeous scenery and friendly faces. If you have lived in Denver or Boulder for more than a few months, though, you probably understand our second reputation: the one for extreme and unpredictable weather.

That’s not always a bad thing, since it means you can enjoy golf, hiking, and skiing all in the same week. But, when it comes to your utility bills – especially for heating in the winter and air conditioning in the blazing summer months – it’s not all wonderful news. Those energy costs can really add up, and in the past few years, homeowners throughout Colorado have been looking for ways to save money and be more comfortable at the same time.

Here at New Windows for America, we are helping our customers throughout Denver, Boulder, and the Front Range to make their homes more energy-efficient. You can enjoy the savings, too, by making a few small investments around the home, such as:

  1. Replacement windows. When you aren’t using modern, properly installed windows in your Colorado home, you literally let money fly out through the cracks. Given that they are so easy to upgrade – and that our replacement energy efficient windows come with free installation and strong warranties – why wouldn’t you want to have the best and keep more cash in your own pocket?
  2. New doors. Next to the windows, doors are the most common culprits for money-wasting inefficiency, as they can let lots of warm or cool air in and out of your house all year long. Besides being energy-efficient, new doors can give your home a new look and feel. To see the difference the right door can make, you just have to spend a few minutes looking through the hundreds of options we offer our customers.
  3. Updated vinyl and steel siding. Not only can siding help reinforce your home’s insulation, but it can also add to its beauty and value while protecting you from the elements. If your siding has become worn – or you just think it’s time for a fresh color and/or style – now is the perfect time to visit New Windows for America and see our Denver home siding options.

High energy bills don’t have to stop you from enjoying life in Colorado and getting the most from your house. Why not talk with a member of our team today and see how easy it is to lower your monthly utility costs through replacement windows, doors, and home siding?
