Basement Windows & Hoppers with a Lifetime Guarantee
If you’re interested in making your basement better, you can’t ignore the windows. Even though basement windows are small, they can have a big impact on the comfort, beauty, and convenience you enjoy in the basement.
Problems with Old Basement Windows
Until now, the standards for basement windows haven’t been very high. Builders paid attention to windows in the main part of the house, but typically chose cheap steel or wood-framed windows for the basement. As a result, standard basement windows have some significant problems:
- Cold drafts and poor energy performance – Old, single-pane basement windows allow cold winter drafts to enter the basement through leaks between the window frame and the rough opening. To make matters worse, a great deal of heat can escape by conduction through a single-pane of glass.
- Difficult operation – Rusty or rotted window frames can cause a window to become inoperable, very difficult open and shut, or impossible to seal.
- Rusty or rotted frames – Steel-framed windows will always be prone to developing rust that degrades their appearance and function. Wood-frame basement windows suffer from rotted frames and peeling paint. This damage can turn basement windows into an eyesore.
- Required maintenance – Basement windows with wood or steel frames will always need regular maintenance (scraping, sanding, painting, renewing glazing, etc.) in order to look good and function properly.
