What is an egress window exactly?

It is a easy to open window that serves the function as a quick below ground emergency exit from the living space of any kind. Our windows are extremely easy and painless for children as young as five years of age to exit the basement safely in the event of a life threatening fire without the help of their parents.

The facts are during a fire your stairwell can be easily blocked or damage stopping you from exiting your basement. To avoid this life threatening event, the International Residential Code requires a home to have a safe means of egress in all basements used partially or entirely as living space.

Installing a egress window will completely eliminates the dungeon like qualities of most basements that have very little light which also creates a stale air environment in your home. After all who wants to spend time in a dungeon.

Not using a specialized contractor can easily prove to be highly expensive to repair structural damage during their unskilled installation.
