What are Basement Daylight Windows?
Basement daylight windows are designed to bring natural light into lower-level spaces without the structural requirements of an egress window. Unlike egress systems (which must meet specific size and clearance codes for emergency exits) daylight windows focus on enhancing brightness, comfort, and energy efficiency in your basement.

Window Options
This is the perfect opportunity to replace old, inefficient single-pane windows with modern options that improve both function and appearance. Homeowners can choose between:
-
Glass Block Windows: Offer maximum durability, privacy, and insulation.
-
Double-Paned Vinyl Windows: Sliding windows with built-in screens for improved airflow and everyday usability.
