    Replacement Windows Terminology

    Any new experience is bound to come with terminology that you may never have heard before, and that includes shopping for replacement windows. In order to make the best decision, you want to be informed, but that can be hard to do when every window description is full of industry terms that you just don’t hear in your daily life. Fortunately, we have you covered. Here are some of the terms you’ll hear most often when searching for replacement windows:

    Energy Efficiency

    This is a key buzzword in the world of replacement windows. Energy efficiency determines how well insulated your home is, so that you can conserve energy in terms of electric lighting or heating and cooling. The better a window insulates your home, the less your heating and cooling will have to work to reach the desired temperature, so your home will stay comfortable while your energy bills stay low. This makes energy efficient windows a popular investment.

    Gas Fillings

    Some replacement windows contain gas fillings in between the panes of glass (see “panes” for more information) in order to slow the flow of air from one side of the window to the other. This can help to insulate your home and to avoid things like window condensation. The gas is always non-toxic and odorless, typically either argon or krypton gas. At Ameritech, we use a blend of argon and krypton gas.

    Panes

    Some replacement windows only have one main pane of glass, while others have multiple panes of glass for added insulation and energy efficiency. Double pane windows use two panes of glass, an inner and outer pane with argon or krypton non-toxic gas in between each pane to slow the flow of air and prevent heat loss or solar heat gain. Triple pane windows include an additional pane in between the inner and outer panes, adding a second chamber of dead air, making them the most energy efficient options available.

    Sashes

    You’ll probably see reference to “sashes” when it comes to replacement windows. A sash is the name for the sections of your window in which the panes of glass are held. If you have a single hung window, you’ll only have one sash moving up and down. With the popular double hung window choice, the window will be made up of two fully operable sashes, one which moves and the other which moves down. Awning window sashes move outward from the bottom, while casement window sashes move outward from the side. Picture windows have fixed sashes that don’t move.

  • The Real Value of Energy Efficient Replacement Windows

    The Real Value of Energy Efficient Replacement Windows

    Replacement windows that don’t just look great — they make your home feel great.

    If you’re in the market for replacement windows, you’ve no doubt heard rave after rave from window sellers about the benefits of energy efficient replacement windows. They’re credited with boosting your home value, helping to lower your home energy bills, insulating your home, and stopping window condensation. However, the true value of your energy efficient replacement windows is the benefit you and your family can enjoy every day: the added comfort to your home.

    Insulation

    The best way energy efficient windows from Ameritech Windows can add comfort to your home is through added insulation. We only offer triple pane windows, with gas fillings in between panes of glass to slow the flow of air from one side to the other. Our gas fillings are a proprietary blend that is thicker than typical argon gas. This will prevent pesky air leaks and heat loss, so no matter what the temperature outside might be, your home stays as warm or cool as you want it. In winter, you can stay warm and cozy thanks to your windows, and in summer, your home is cool and comfortable.

    More Privacy

    Triple pane windows also keeps outside noise out, better than the typical double pane windows everyone else has. If you live close to heavy traffic, noisy neighbors, or you just like to play your music loudly when you’re at home alone, triple pane windows allow you to enjoy the privacy you should in your own home. No more waking up early or being kept up late due to the noise outside.

    Ventilation

    A great seal is great in the midst of cold winters, but on fine summer days, you may find that you want to open the window and let in some fresh air. With so many different replacement window styles available at Ameritech Windows, you can have as much or as little ventilation as you want. Double hung and slider windows have two fully operable sashes that move in opposite directions. Casement windows open from the side and operate almost like a sail when open, while awning windows, which open from the bottom, allow you to let in some fresh air while protecting your home from rain or debris. Prefer to keep your windows closed? We even offer picture windows, designed to stay closed.

    Is your home lacking the value of energy efficient replacement windows? Contact Ameritech Windows today for more information and start living in a more comfortable home.

  • 3 MORE Types of Replacement Windows (And More!)

    3 MORE Types of Replacement Windows (And More!)

    3 MORE Types of Replacement Windows (And More!)

    Last month, we started an introduction with three of the most popular types of replacement windows that you can install in your home. These easy windows are loved for their energy efficiency, their easy operation, and their ventilation potential. But these are not the only types of replacement windows we offer at Ameritech Windows. If you’re still on the fence about which type of window to choose, here are a few stylish options:

    Awning Windows

    Awning windows are to casement windows as slider windows are to double hung windows. Imagine a casement window shaped horizontally rather than vertically, and opening from a hinge at the top instead of from the side. They have the same ease of operation, but at a different angle. These are great alternatives to sliding or picture windows for the window above your kitchen sink, as they offer the uninterrupted view of picture windows while still allowing for ventilation like slider windows They’re also often installed towards the top of the wall, allowing light to flood down into the room. There are also hopper windows, which open out from a hinge at the bottom and make popular basement windows.

    Bay or Bow Windows

    Bay or bow windows are 3-5 window panes put together to create a convex shape that bows out from the walls for an elegant look. These are great replacement window options if you have a small space and you’d like it to feel larger, or if you’ve always loved the idea of having a window seat. These windows are often complimented by casement windows or picture windows on their sides to create a truly expansive view. There’s something classically stately about this style of window.

    Picture (Fixed or Transom) Windows

    Sometimes you’re not looking for a window that you can open to let in the outdoor air. Sometimes you just want a nice view and natural lighting. If that’s the case, you can’t go wrong with a picture window. These windows are typically large, so they let in plenty of natural lighting and extended views of your outdoor space. However, unlike the other windows in your home, picture windows are not designed to open. Sometimes called fixed windows, they come in all shapes, so they’re a great fit for just about every room in your home.

    Bonus: Special Shapes

    Looking for more options when it comes to your replacement windows? Ameritech also offers special shapes for our triple pane replacement windows, including

    • Eyebrow
    • Half Round
    • Octagon
    • Quarter Round
    • Round With Legs
    • Trapezoid

    These options allow you to truly incorporate your windows into the aesthetic of your home. There’s no reason why choosing energy efficiency and easy operation should mean compromising on style, and it doesn’t. Ameritech offers so many types of replacement windows that you’ll be sure to find the perfect windows for your home.

    You Might Be Surprised By How Often People Say This In Our Online Reviews

    One of our favorite things is to hear that a client LOVED their Ameritech experience.

    That goes double if a homeowner goes online and tells the whole world about it in a review about Ameritech.

    We’re especially appreciative that more than 360 clients have reviewed us on Google, and the overwhelming majority of those reviews are 5-star raves.

    What Clients Actually Say About Us Is Very Interesting

    Some of the things you’ll read in our reviews may not surprise you, especially when people talk about how thrilled they are with the quality of our windows.

    We sell and install the best windows in Colorado, so it is not at all unusual to read things like…

    “The windows themselves have made a noticeable difference not only holding heat in the winter, but keeping OUT warm air in the summer.” …AND

    “The difference in sound and comfort with the new windows is incredible. I’d advise anyone to look to them for windows and doors if you have failing or old windows and doors.” …AND

    “The windows slide smoothly and close tightly, no more air leaks.”

    Homeowners often also mention our team, particularly the friendliness and professionalism of our consultants and installers.

    “Excellent service, I couldn’t believe how dedicated the technicians were at getting the job done in one day, and leaving behind no mess.” …AND

    “Gave us a great educational experience on what we’re buying!! Great personality and we love the product he was selling!” …AND

    “Scott, the Project Manager, was awesome and impressive.   He talked with us to make sure the sale was right for us.  There was no pressure to buy.  Ameritech’s reputation and window quality sells itself!”

    Here Is What May Surprise You About Our Reviews

    What may surprise you is how often homeowners mention doing REPEAT business with Ameritech.

    Sometimes people will decide to replace windows in stages; other times they may have moved and be replacing windows on a different home; or sometimes homeowners do their windows and then call us again to install a sliding glass patio door.

    Whatever the reason, here’s what we love about homeowners giving us repeat business: it is the biggest vote of confidence we can get. When people call us again, they are saying they are willing to spend their hard-earned money with us again. You don’t hire a company again unless they delivered excellent results the first time.

    So to all the clients that use us again and refer us to friends and neighbors, thank you. Here are some quotes from repeat clients in their reviews:

    “I have worked with Ameritech in the past and was very happy with their product.  I decided I needed to replace my basement windows – the last “old” windows I had in my house – and when Ameritech called and offered their services, I met with Scott and got the project all set up.  As usual, Ameritech’s product was/is of excellent quality.” …AND

    “I was so happy with my windows and sliding door, now I’m finalizing with French doors, very excited!” …AND

    “I had my upstairs bedroom windows replaced a few months back. The windows are awesome, and very energy efficient. I love them so much I’m having my downstairs windows replaced too.” …AND

    “We’ve trusted Ameritech with window replacements for 10 years at 2 different properties.”

    If we sound like the kind of window company you’d like to do business with, we give free window consultations and quotes – you can go here to contact us to schedule your appointment.

  • Is It Time to Replace Your Old Windows?

    Is It Time to Replace Your Old Windows?

    Is It Time to Replace Your Old Windows?

    How often do you really look at your windows, instead of looking through them? Sometimes we take for granted the health of our windows, especially if we’ve had them for a long time. But with talk of energy efficiency surrounding the replacement window market in Boulder, CO, you may find yourself wondering if it’s time to replace your windows. Here are a few signs that might indicate it’s time for a window replacement.

    Energy Bills Spiking

    Have your energy bills been going up in recent years? If your windows aren’t properly sealed and are letting too much air through, you may have to crank your heating and air conditioning in order to keep your home comfortable throughout the year. This, of course, causes your heating and cooling bills to go up. If this is a problem with your windows, consider replacing them with a more energy efficient model, such as a triple pane replacement window.

    Poor Operation

    Old windows become more difficult to operate as they pass their lifespan. They may become tricky to open, or they may be difficult to keep open. If your window keeps trying to snap shut when you let go, that’s not just dangerous but a good sign that it’s time to replace your old windows. Take a look at the age of the windows, in fact. If they’re over 20 years old, that could be the answer to this problem.

    Soundproofing

    While even the best windows might not 100% soundproof your home, they should keep out a good amount of noise pollution caused by loud neighbors or a busy street nearby. If you’re being kept awake by sounds coming from outside, that might be a sign that your windows have become worn down with time and that you need to replace your windows.

    Decaying Window Frames

    The glass isn’t the only part of your window that’s worth notice. If you have wood window frames, they may have become rotten or warped over time. Even vinyl or aluminium frames can become damaged in time. If your window frames need replacing, it may be time to opt for a more durable, low maintenance option for a window replacement.

    Are you in need of a window replacement for your Boulder, CO, home? Contact Ameritech today for more information or a free estimate.
