1. Why you should have an egress window installed!

2.  An egress window is a window designed to be large
enough for a full-size man to climb out of in case of an
emergency. It serves its purpose as being a window but
it also acts as an exit.
 Egress windows are typically found in basements
because basements alone usually don’t have escape
routes. These windows also open up to a well that
sometimes has a ladder to make it easy to climb out.

3.  Since an egress window is so large, it lets in a good
amount of natural light. This is nice for basement
rooms that typically don’t get much light because of
being underground.

4.  An egress window adds square footage to your home.
More square footage equals more value, which equals
more money when you’re trying to sell your home.

5.  Basements are especially dangerous in the event of an
emergency, like a fire or flood. Fortunately, an egress
window is large enough and easy enough to open that
anyone can escape through it.

6.  The International Code Council made it a requirement
for all finished basements with habitable space to have
an egress window. If the basement has a bedroom,
there must be an egress window in that room. These
regulations are meant to keep those inhabiting the
basement area safe.

7.  An egress window can actually be quite pretty, both
from the inside and outside. You can use different
materials for the well to make it match your home. It
all depends on how much money you’re willing to
spend to make it look nice.

8.  You could try installing an egress window yourself if
you have the know-how, but the best way to get an
egress window installed is to hire a someone to do it
for you. That way you know it will be done accurately
and it will be up to code.

egress windows through a contract negotiation. They
