Basement Egress Window Installation & Concrete Cutting
Installing an egress window in your basement does many different things: it can add a legal bedroom, it can add in more natural light, or more proper ventilation. But the most important aspect of an egress window is to provide a safe exit in the case of a house fire. There are specific requirements that are necessary to meet the current code of an egress window. The size of the window matters, the height of where the window is measured off the floor matters, and if you can open the window or not matters. It’s best to let a qualified professional handle all the details, like us.
