Replacing Steel-Frame Basement Windows
Joliet's older brick homes were built with steel-frame basement windows. After eighty years most are rusted through, seized shut, and leaking air at every edge.
-
Rusted Frames Come Out
We remove the corroded steel and rotting wood sill rather than patching around it.
-
No Frame Left to Rust
The block is mortared into the masonry, so there's no steel to corrode and no sash to seize up twenty years from now.
-
Sized to Century-Old Masonry
We measure each opening individually, since eighty-year-old brick openings are rarely square or standard-sized.
Security and Privacy for Joliet Basements
Basement windows are the easiest way into a house. Solid mortared block is a wall that still lets light through.
-
Stronger Than the Steel It Replaces
A rusted steel frame can be pried out of the opening. Mortared block is set into the wall the way the brick around it is.
-
More Daylight Than the Old Window
A steel-frame window is mostly frame. Glass block puts more actual glass in the same opening, so the basement gets brighter even though you lose the view.
-
Venting Through Solid Block
We build the dryer exhaust directly into the panel, so venting stays clean and code-compliant.
