Most likely, the reason is because the windows are located in the lower area of the home and also they tend to be smaller. The fact is window replacement for basements should be taken just as seriously as other parts of the house, because they prevent water, rodents and other pests from entering the building.

It’s therefore important to make sure that basement windows are in good condition. In addition, the windows should be easy to open in case of an emergency. If the window pane, screen or frame is damaged, window replacement should be done as soon as possible. Apart from pests entering your home via the basement, a broken or damaged window makes an ideal entrance for burglars.

According to homeguide123.com, vinyl and glass are good choices for basement windows because they are easy to clean, plus they are termite, mildew and rot resistant. The days of basements being dark and gloomy places are over. Today, basements have windows that maximize ventilation, security and lighting – like this vinyl window (click here to view image).
