EverLast Basement Windows

When finishing your basement space, it’s easy to overlook the windows.  They’re small, ugly, and hard to find a nice replacement.  But if you leave them the way they are, they’re going to stick out like a sore thumb while the rest of your newly finished basement looks great. 

Basement windows and window wells are an eyesore in general.  They were probably chosen by the builder of your home because they’re cheap, and not a lot of thought went into them.  If your home is older, there probably wasn’t much of a basement window selection when your home was built. 

Also, they generally do not seal very well.  Since the basement has low air pressure and is constantly sucking air in, the cold winter air or humid summer air is pulled into the basement, which is a no win situation.  Either way, you’ll be spending more in heating, cooling, and dehumidification costs.

It’s tough to find a basement window that gets the job done because they’re down close to the ground or in a window well, which are both damp environments.  Windows with metal frames rust, wood windows rot, and it’s impossible to keep the paint looking good on them.  They’re also big energy wasters because they leak air, especially single pane glass.  The best time to deal with your basement windows is when you’re having your basement finished.  That way the interior trim can be wrapped around the new window, making the air seal tighter.
