And Many Other Advantages 
Easy Operation—You’ll never have any diffi¬ 
culty in opening and closing Fenestra Basement 
Windows. Because of their solid steel construc¬ 
tion they never warp nor stick. Damp weather 
cannot swell them. 
Greater Strength and Durability—The 
solid steel members of Fenestra Basement Win¬ 
dows cannot rot nor decay. Unlike wood win¬ 
dows, they cannot be split or splintered when 
coal or other material is put through them. 
Easily Screened—Fenestra Windows are pre¬ 
pared for easy screening before they leave the 
factory. Screw holes are provided on each side 
of the frame so that screens can be readily fitted 
to the outside and secured from the inside. 
More Protection—Fenestra Basement Win¬ 
dows give you added protection against fire and 
against outside intruders. Their steel bars are, of 
course, fire-proof and, together with the Fenestra 
Locking Device, they put an effective barrier in 
the way of the housebreaker. 
More Attractive Appearance—Architects 
and builders everywhere are recognizing the archi¬ 
tectural beauty of Fenestra Basement Windows. 
Fenestra’s broader panes of glass set in narrower 
bars add much to the appearance of the lower 
part of the house. 
Low in Cost—Although Fenestra Basement 
Windows have all these worth-while advantages, 
their original cost is but little more. Their cost 
of installation is much lower than that of wood 
windows and their upkeep cost is nothing. Fen¬ 
estra Basement Windows are sold by leading 
building supply and lumber dealers everywhere. 
See them for yourself. 
Here’s a home 'with 80 % more 
basement. It’s a Fenestra Day- 
lighted Basement. See the light 
streaming in through the bigger, 
broader panes of the Fenestra Base¬ 
ment Windows. These windows, 
although they require no larger 
opening in the basement wall, ad¬ 
mit 80 % more daylight and give far 
better ventilation. 
80 % more daylight means 80 % 
more basement, for it means a base¬ 
ment which is that much more 
usable and livable. The finest laun¬ 
dry work can be done easily and 
thoroughly in the flood of light that 
comes through Fenestra Basement 
Windows. The man of the house 
has plenty of light on his work 
bench, in the coal room, around the 
furnace. Bright and cheerful like 
the rooms upstairs, the Fenestra 
Daylighted Basement makes a 
healthful, comfortable playroom for 
the children, too. 
You’ll want Fenestra Basement 
Windows in your new home, of 
course.
