    How can Egress Windows help your home?

    broken image

    Windows installed below ground level to basements bring in natural light and satisfies building code requirements for a basement bedroom, adding value to your home.

     

     

    An egress window allows air and light to access to your basement, this helps fight humidity and moisture. Benefits of egress windows:
    1. Safety - Egress windows provide an escape route in case of an emergency, such as a fire.
    2. Space - Egress windows allow your basement to be another area of living space.
    3. Value - Egress windows add value to homes due to safety features and adding another habitable level to your home.
    4. Comfort - Egress windows make your basement livable by adding natural light and air flow.

    Requirements for Installation

    An egress window is below ground, if the ground is not supported, it will eventually collapse onto your window. Therefore, the well, a half-circle or rectangle shaped shield, is installed to support the surrounding ground and block debris and moisture from reaching the basement window. Egress windows can trap water, this is avoided by ensuring the egress well is properly drained.
