Generally people replace their basement windows with either hopper windows, slider windows or awning windows. Depending on your budget and your taste, one of the three styles will meet your needs. Awning Windows crank out sort of like a sideways casement window. While they are the most expensive basement window, they have the most features. Awning windows crank out and allow you to ventilate your basement when it is raining since the water will slide off of the glass and away from your home. Awning windows also provide the most light since there is only one sash (piece of glass). Slider Windows slide back and forth and they make a great option if you have a larger window. With smaller window openings their frame seems bulky compared to the glass size. Hopper Windows are the "standard basement window" since they are not overly expensive and they come in a wide selection of sizes. Hopper windows tilt in when they are in the venting position. |
