Basement Window Replacement & Installation

Basement window replacement starts with the existing opening and how the room is used. Imperial Windows & Doors replaces and installs basement windows for residential homes in Toronto and the GTA. We review the frame condition, window well or surrounding exterior space, operating access and finishing work before confirming the size and style.

Compare slider windows, awning windows and other replacement styles for the opening. Tell us before ordering if the window is intended to serve as an emergency exit so that suitability and required work can be assessed.

Which window style suits a basement?

The opening dimensions, exterior clearance, ventilation needs and room use guide the choice. We review suitable styles during the estimate rather than assuming every basement needs the same window.

Will a new basement window fix water entering the room?

A damaged window may be part of the issue, but surrounding drainage or wall conditions can also contribute. The source needs assessment; window replacement alone should not be assumed to solve every leak.

Can you make the basement window opening larger?

Enlarging an opening involves additional work beyond a like-for-like replacement. Tell us your plans during the estimate so the required scope can be reviewed before ordering.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Basement comfort depends on the window, surrounding opening and installation. We review the frame, insulated glass and sealing details of the selected product. Room humidity and ventilation also affect condensation on cold surfaces.

KRYPTON AND ARGON GAS

Argon or krypton may be available between insulated glass panes. Confirm the complete glass package, including pane count and coating, for the selected basement window.

LOW-E GLASS

Low-E coatings help reduce heat transfer through glass while admitting daylight. Compare the available package for your basement’s exposure and comfort needs.

SUPER SPACER

The spacer separates insulated glass panes around the edge. Its material affects heat transfer there. Confirm the spacer system supplied with your chosen model.

Available grilles can coordinate basement windows with the home’s other windows. Consider how the pattern affects the view and daylight in a smaller opening.

Review glass options for privacy, daylight and comfort. Pane counts and decorative options depend on the selected model and opening dimensions.

FROSTED GLASS
TRIPLE GLAZED
DECORATIVE GLASS

Choose available finishes to coordinate with the foundation trim and other windows. We confirm frame colour availability and care instructions before ordering.
