Improving a Historic Denver Home's Energy Efficiency: The Poston Project

Project Scope

The South City Park neighborhood in Denver, Colorado is renowned for its historic bungalow-style homes. Preserving the unique aesthetic of this neighborhood is important to homeowners in this area. As a result, those who want to make their homes energy efficient must navigate the delicate balance between maintaining their property’s original aesthetic and adding modern capabilities to their home. 

This was the challenge the Postons faced when trying to upgrade their 1925 bungalow-style residence. They wanted to replace their century-old windows to increase their home’s resale value. They also wanted their windows to be energy efficient. The Pella 250 Series windows known for their timeless style, and energy-efficient features proved to be the right choice. 

Equipped with Low-E glass technology, these windows regulate heat transfer and block harmful UV rays. This can lower energy bills, and help a home maintain a comfortable interior temperature all year long.

The Postons noticed a significant improvement in their home’s insulation with their new replacement windows. They also appreciated that their easy-to-use windows were designed with security features. This increased their property’s potential resale value. 

The Poston home now stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of modern energy efficiency and classic design aesthetic.

If you're considering window replacements for your historic home, take inspiration from the Postons and explore the possibilities Pella offers. We are committed to both a home’s design preservation and modern advancement.
