Replacing basement windows. New construction or replacment?

4 years ago

We are in the process of finishing our basement and will be replacing 2 identical windows in the process. The current windows are 36x60 single hung. Wondering if i can just remove the current exterior trim and replace with a new construction window or if there is a reason i would need to go with a replacement window. The main reason not to go with replacement is the brands we have looked at will not pass egress in a single or double hung variation due to the thicker frame vs new construction, would need to go casement. Current trim is aluminum over wood.
