In this videos I show you guys how I installed the basement windows in my ranch. There are many ways to do this but I figure I will show you how I did it! I wanted to maximize the absolute opening of the windows. This is what I used below.

I need to do all 6 of my basement windows about the same size as this one. It looks pretty straight forward. Get the old one out, put the new one in. Anchor and seal it. Thanks for the video.

@katiegoh9209 3 года назад

Thanks this is very helpful! My current window just pops out with very little force. Very good advice about allowing extra space with the window. I was shopping for exact dimensions

@felixmadison5736 3 года назад

Starting with cutting that string to the light would be good.

@shichen361 2 года назад

Thanks for the detailed video! I have a question: do you happen to add flashing to the window? If not, do you have water leak issues during rainy days!

@The_Paddle_Smith Год назад

I think the caulking handles that part

@LayneRoxxx 2 года назад

Reliabilt from Lowes is exactly the same as Tafco from Home Depot. I bought one of both and they are manufactured in the same place and then labeled different names for both stores.

@diytito8165 2 года назад

Honestly not surprised! That's the case with a lot of stuff.

@LayneRoxxx 2 года назад

@@diytito8165 I was happy because Lowes didn't have any more plain Reliabilt hopper windows at their store. I had to ordered one from Home Depot because Lowes would have charged me $80 for shipping online while Home Depot was free shipping.

Awesome vid!

@JSLEnterprises 3 года назад

generally, to minimize bowing, you want to sink two screws upwards, and two at the side about 4" up from the bottom, and nothing in the drain rails at the bottom (for obvious reasons)

Having trouble finding my size windows 29”x17”

@daveaesoph2635 3 года назад

I clicked on the link. The window there looks like it has a nail flange. Is that the window you used? Or one without a nail flange?

@diytito8165 3 года назад

Mine had a nail flange but I removed it with a knife for my application.

@edgarmunson5288 2 года назад

How lucky is the woman for not getting broken glass in her face or eyes as he's hammering a glass widow towards her?!?! If you have to hammer on a window frame to remove it always remove the glass first. Or tape the crap out of it.

@carolliz4278 Год назад

Always safety glasses and gloves.

@bethrhodes7329 3 года назад

If the opening isn’t big enough or needs to be trimmed back in some areas what tools do you use on the concrete?

@diytito8165 3 года назад

It depends. If it's just some rough bits a cold chisel and a hammer can be used to smooth out and get the rough pieces off. If it's really too big your talking a concrete saw. So you'd be better off with a smaller window.

@kuhanfu 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. Which model did you ordered from Amazon?

@diytito8165 3 года назад

Mine was 32x14. Check the link in the comments!

@kuhanfu 3 года назад

Ah sorry. Didn’t see that. I ordered the same one but in a different size. Thanks!

@diytito8165 3 года назад

Best of luck on your install!

@kenpappas9520 3 года назад

By using expansion foam you no longer need to use screws as the foam securely holds it in place

@beardedgaming1337 3 года назад

i dont think id trust that. how hard would it be to kick the window in with just foam holding it...

@crazyirish4 2 года назад

Not even close to accurate

@beardedgaming1337 2 года назад

@@crazyirish4 are you saying that it is or isn't easy to kick out spray foam?

@crazyirish4 2 года назад

@@beardedgaming1337 not saying it’s easy but that’s not secured. It wouldn’t pass inspection, if the inspector catches it. I do belive it could be pushed in with a small amount of force

@diytito8165 2 года назад

@@jeremiahisrael8890 yes but you need to predrill the hole with the supplied drill bit or get the appropriate sized drill bit for the screw. A good hammer drill is recommended for predrilling the hole.

Once you started cutting, and using power tools I was out. Thanks for the video though.

@diytito8165 4 года назад

No problem! Every situation is different unfortunately and you may need to adapt.

Thank you for addressing the Vinyl flange. It's a small detail that answered a huge question for me. Most Installers would have skipped that step. Very good DIY video.

Does Amazon still have that window

@jerseyforhawks Год назад

Way to go, under 9 min epi. My window issue is identical.

@johnsilos3804 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Do you know if the 32" measurement includes the nailing fin or does the actual window without the fin measure 32x14?

@diytito8165 Месяц назад

This was without the nailing fin.

@peterknezevici8719 Год назад

Great video congrats !

@jujub41482 Год назад

Shouldn't you check to see that the window is level and plum?

@diytito8165 Год назад

Yes, my location was already level and plum! Most houses should be fairly close if built after 1960.

@CassieGlinkowski 4 года назад

Shims would prevent any potential bowing of the frame when you're drilling through the frame into the concrete. Foam & caulk should also be the last step.

@diytito8165 4 года назад

Agreed! I didn't because I didn't have my hammer drill at the time and had to wait for it but can see your concern with that!
