What Are
Basement Windows?
Basement windows are installed below or partially below ground level and are designed to provide natural light, ventilation, and—when required—emergency egress. They come in various styles, including slider, hopper, casement, and fixed, and are often paired with window wells to keep soil and moisture at bay.
Perfect for:
- Bedrooms – Meet egress code requirements for safety
- Finished Basements – Add light and livability to below-grade spaces
- Laundry Rooms – Improve ventilation and reduce humidity
- Home Gyms & Offices – Create a brighter, more inviting space
- Older Homes – Replace outdated or rusted steel-frame windows
Features & Benefits of Our Basement Windows
Designed for Ventilation. Engineered for Alberta.
At ASAP Windows & Doors, our Basement Windows are more than just a stylish addition to your home—they’re a smart investment in comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term performance. Manufactured locally in Calgary, our awning windows are built to handle Alberta’s demanding climate while offering homeowners a sleek, functional, and secure solution for everyday living.
Whether you’re upgrading a bathroom, finishing a basement, or designing a new build, our awning windows are tailored to meet your needs with precision and care.
Brighten Your Basement.
Basement windows bring much-needed daylight into lower-level spaces, making them feel more open, comfortable, and livable—especially important in finished basements.
Code-Compliant Peace of Mind.
If your basement includes a bedroom or living space, egress windows are required by law. We offer casement and slider windows that meet Alberta’s egress codes, ensuring safe exit in case of emergency.
Built for Below-Grade Conditions.
Our basement windows are made with moisture-resistant materials and sealed to prevent leaks, drafts, and condensation—essential for below-ground installations.
Comfort Year-Round.
With insulated frames, Low-E glass, and argon gas fills, our basement windows help maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce energy costs—even in Alberta’s harsh winters.
Fresh Air Where You Need It.
Choose operable styles like hopper or slider windows to improve airflow and reduce humidity in laundry rooms, bathrooms, or utility spaces.
Safe and Secure.
Basement windows are often at ground level, so security matters. Our windows feature reinforced frames and secure locking systems to keep your home protected.
No More Drafty Gaps.
Older homes often have non-standard basement openings. We custom-manufacture each window to ensure a perfect fit and proper sealing.
Set It and Forget It.
Our vinyl and fiberglass frames resist rust, rot, and warping. They never need painting and require only occasional cleaning to stay looking new.
Our casement windows are:
- ENERGY STAR® Certified
- NAFS-11 Tested
- CSA A440 Compliant
These certifications ensure your windows meet or exceed Canadian standards for air, water, and structural performance—giving you peace of mind and long-term value.
Where to Use Basement Windows
Basement windows are incredibly versatile and can be installed in nearly any room of the house. Their compact design and weather-resistant functionality make them ideal for:
