Basement Egress Windows

What is an egress window?

These days, many Ohio homeowners are looking to basement finishing to maximize their space and often add additional bedrooms when their family starts to grow. But why do they need egress? By definition, an egress window is a window large enough for entry or exit in an emergency.

Per Ohio code, if your basement serves as a living space, you are legally required to install these unique windows for each bedroom in the basement. Additionally, a basement egress window requires an area wall or well surrounding it. This allows the window more room to open, providing an accessible entrance or exit from the home.

The Benefits of Egress Windows

They aren’t just for safety

When companies talk about installing egress windows, the conversation is focused on the legal requirements, but egress windows also offer homeowners numerous other benefits with very few drawbacks. Below are the main benefits of having an egress window installed. You can also contact us for more information and schedule a FREE estimate with one of our egress window installers.

They Increase Value

Egress windows make the conversion of your basement into a livable space possible. Finishing your basement adds additional square footage, thus increasing home value. Additionally, egress windows are attractive features to prospective home buyers.

Improved Ventilation

Usually, basements have very little space for windows. With just a single egress window, you can provide your basement with fresh air through improved ventilation. Also, with more ventilation, you can prevent mold and mildew in your basement.
