Secure Your Foundation & Warm Your Home
Basement windows are often the most neglected part of a Newmarket home, yet they play a critical role in security and energy efficiency. Old, single-pane slider windows in the basement are prime targets for break-ins and major sources of heat loss. Installix offers professional basement window glass replacement, upgrading your lower-level windows to secure, thermal-efficient units that keep your basement warm, dry, and safe.
Common Issues with Basement Windows
Security Vulnerabilities
Ground-level windows are the easiest entry point for intruders. Old, thin glass is easily broken. Foggy glass can also obscure your view, preventing you from seeing who is outside.
Cold Floors & Drafts
Cold air sinks. If your basement windows are drafty or lack insulation, that cold air settles on your basement floor, making the space uncomfortable and driving up heating costs for the whole house.
Privacy Concerns
Clear glass at street level can leave your home exposed to passersby. We offer solutions to let light in while keeping prying eyes out.
The Solution: Thermal & Security Upgrades
We replace the glass in your existing basement window frames (whether slider or hopper style). We upgrade you from single pane to double-pane thermal units, or replace existing failed thermal units.
Why Choose Installix?
- Security Glass: We can install laminated glass which holds together even if shattered, deterring burglars.
- Privacy Options: Choose from Frosted, Rain, or Pinhead glass textures for instant privacy without curtains.
- Rodent Proofing: We ensure the glass fits tightly and seals are intact to prevent mice or insects from squeezing in.

Pricing Factors
Basement window glass is generally affordable, but costs vary by:
- Glass Choice: Obscure (privacy) glass and Laminated glass cost more than clear glass.
- Access: Window wells or obstructed windows may require extra labor.
- Quantity: Replacing all basement windows at once is more cost-effective per unit.
