Master bedrooms are high-traffic spaces that require energy efficiency, comfort, and privacy. Their windows typically are larger than other rooms and should be properly insulated to protect energy costs and privacy.
Dependent upon which side of the house the windows are on and the amount of direct sunlight they receive, additional Low-E coatings could prove advantageous.

Cost can vary significantly by contractor, so be sure to get quotes prior to making a final decision about who will install or replace them. Also remember any potential additional expenses associated with installing or replacing them such as building permits, excavation for window wells, glass disposal costs or more importantly responsible glass recycling practices that might apply.

Importantly, installing new windows in your basement bedroom requires installing a window well of appropriate size and location; such as being far enough from overhead hazards that would prevent emergency personnel from reaching the egress window in an emergency situation.
