Top Egress Windows in the Market
If you want to add some extra space to your house, transforming your basement into a living area, such as a bedroom or playroom, might be the simplest way of doing it. Basement living spaces or an unfinished basement require an egress window, which is not the same as the hopper windows. Egress windows are large openings that help get natural light into the basement and serve as a safe exit in case of an emergency. This type of window must follow the Building Code. The opening width must be at least 20 inches, and the opening height at least 24 inches. Another size requirement is a net clear opening of at least 5.7 square feet and a sill no more than 44 inches off the floor. The code requirements also mandate a well of 36 inches wide and 36 inches long dug underneath the window frame if your basement is below ground level. Choosing a basement window is much more than just making sure it fits inside the minimum height and width. Several styles of windows meet the egress window requirements and work perfectly for the basement. The two main styles highly recommended for basement windows are the casement windows and the sliding windows. Having basement egress windows provides multiple benefits, from an emergency exit if needed to transforming a room from your home you'd probably never use before.Our window highest quality components include:

What People Are Saying
We just installed all new windows at our house and we love them! Before we made our decision we went to the manufacturer’s plant to see how the windows are made. We were concerned at first because Russ’s price was more than half of his competitors quoted price. After our tour we were very comfortable with our decision. Installation day was quick and painless. Our house was left in great condition. I highly recommend this company!
Prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. Windows will be installed after they are manufactured. Update: couldn't have gone better. The windows are very high quality and the guys that installed them did a great job. They removed and replaced four windows in under two hours, and the finished job looks very good, both inside and out. We will be having them back to install additional windows once we get some unrelated work performed by other contractors.
We just decided to start this project so it has not been started yet but we were really impressed by Russ so far. Update our windows are done and installed. We were shocked they had our project completed so quick and it turned out great. What a great experience we had. 5 stars? Would have given 8 easily.
