Egress Windows

When you turn the basement of your home into additional living space, one way to create a bright, comfortable place is to install an egress window.

An egress window not only adds natural lighting and an open feeling to your basement living space, it also ensures safety to those that use it.

The word egress actually means exit. An egress window can be used as an exit in case of emergency or fire. According to the International Residential Code (IRC-2000), a basement area that also serves as a sleeping area must be equipped with such an emergency exit.

Egress windows increase your property value with the addition of an extra bedroom and create a more enjoyable space without the feeling of being 'in a basement'.
