What Are Egress Windows?
Egress windows are designed to serve as emergency exits in case of fire or other emergencies. They are typically required in residential buildings, particularly in bedrooms and basements, to provide occupants with a safe means of escape.
Egress windows must be operable from the inside without the need for special tools or excessive force. Common opening mechanisms include casement, sliding, or double-hung windows that can be easily opened to provide a clear exit path.
Egress windows must comply with local building codes and regulations, which may specify minimum size, location, and other requirements based on factors such as occupancy type, building height, and fire safety considerations.
While the primary purpose of egress windows is emergency escape, they also serve as a source of natural light and ventilation for the space. Our egress windows are designed to maximize daylight entry and airflow while maintaining safety requirements.
At Best Solution Windows and Doors, we understand all building code requirements and ecstatic to choose the most suitable egress window style to meet your needs.
