Repurposing Old Windows

At Colorado Windows Direct we are all about reducing the waste sent to the land fill.  When we install new replacement windows in a home that has unique vintage windows, we either give them to the home owner or list them on the market place for someone that wants to use them for their art projects.  There are many ways to repurpose these vintage windows into creative decor for your home or landscape.  Denver has a vibrant creative culture that can make the most of these unique window panes. They are certainly better used as a piece of decor and not to protect your home from the elements.   Replace your old single pane windows with energy efficient vinyl, fibrex, or fiberglass windows and doors.  window replacement westminster
 
Damaged Glazing Bead
 
Glazing bead is a removable strip that secures glass in place. Typically, Vinyl glazing bead will get brittle over time and is prone to breaking from hail damage.  We see this on many homes after a hail storm. We recommend contacting homeowners insurance and filing a claim to have these replaced.  Here is a home in Westminster, Colorado that has damage on the west facing side of home.  We will be replacing these original vinyl windows with Pella vinyl windows(possibly with noise reduction glass).
