Egress Windows
Egress windows aren’t just a building code checkbox—they’re a lifeline. We supply egress windows that meet strict IRC (International Residential Code) and local safety requirements, ensuring basements and below-grade spaces are safe, legal, and livable. Our units combine emergency-ready functionality with contractor-friendly installation, so you avoid costly rework while giving homeowners confidence in their property’s safety.
What Are Egress Windows?
Egress windows are specially designed emergency exits for basements and below-grade spaces, required by building codes to ensure safe escape routes during fires, floods, or other emergencies. Unlike standard basement windows, they’re engineered to meet strict size, accessibility, and operational standards:
- Minimum Opening Size: At least 5.7 sq. ft. of clear opening for upper floors and 5.0 sq. ft. for ground-level windows (per IRC Section R310) to allow easy exit.
- Low Sill Height: Opens no higher than 44 inches from the floor for quick, barrier-free escape.
- Easy Operation Hinged or sliding designs that even children or elderly occupants can open quickly.
- Legality and Compliance: Egress windows are required in any basement with habitable spaces, including bedrooms, to meet building code safety standards.
In short, they’re not just windows—they’re lifesaving tools that turn basements into safe, code-compliant areas. Whether you’re converting a cellar into a bedroom or retrofitting a rental unit, egress windows protect occupants and keep your projects legally sound.

Client Benefits: What Homeowners Actually Want
Your clients don’t care about technical specs—they care about results. Our egress windows solve real problems they face every day, turning basements from storage dungeons into spaces they’ll use and love. Here’s what matters to them:
- Safety They Can See (and Use) : No more fretting over fire drills or escape routes. Our windows meet strict safety codes while working like regular windows—easy to open, even for kids or grandparents, so families feel secure using basements as bedrooms or hangouts.
- More Space, More Value : Clients aren’t paying for windows—they’re paying to turn basements into guest suites, home offices, or rental units. That extra square footage means higher resale prices and bragging rights when it’s time to sell.
- Lower Bills, Less Hassle : Our windows keep the cold out in winter and the heat out in summer, so basements stay comfortable year-round—no more cranking the thermostat or battling stuffy air. Homeowners pocket the savings on energy bills, and with weather-tight seals and quality materials, they’ll spend weekends enjoying their space, not scrubbing or repairing.
