Picture Windows: The Perfect Basement Windows

A welcome source of light and superior ventilation is what we all want in our basement. Renewal by Andersen® of Montana can provide all these with our various basement window styles. However not all styles work in every situation. So which window replacement should you get for your basement? We’ll help you decide.

The most common basement window types include casement windows, as well as awnings or hoppers. However, there is a much better option: picture windows. Here’s a look at the distinct features that make them perfect for the basement.

Great Source of Natural Light

With their maximized glass surface, plenty of natural light can shine through. This can help save you money by reducing your use of electric lights.

Expansive Views

Another benefit of picture windows is that they offer great views, thanks to their large glass area. The result is often stunning—especially if you have picturesque surroundings. You’ll get a clear and wide view of the outside all from the comfort of your home.

Sheer Versatility

Picture windows can fit any opening and mix with different window types. Combine them with specialty windows and some casements for some ventilation. There are 47 color combinations and a wide selection of grille patterns and hardware.

Increased Energy Efficiency

Picture windows are energy-efficient because they are airtight. They don’t open, so energy and air will not escape your home. The thin Fibrex® frame increases the effect of the High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass. It will save you up to 25% on your energy bills. Since our windows can keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, your home’s temperature will be easier to manage. This will reduce the workload of your HVAC system, leading to lower energy consumption and increased savings.

If you want more light into your basement, then consider picture windows. While they may not be operable like awning and hopper windows, they’re much larger and can bathe your basement in natural light. They also provide greater visibility outside and will make your basement appear larger.

From sliding windows to stunning picture windows Renewal by Andersen of Montana provides only the best in quality window replacement. For more information about our picture windows, call us at (406) 259-3944.
