An egress window is often referred to as a “Basement Escape Window.” These windows are built so that a full-sized adult may exit the window in case of an emergency. They are often built below ground level in which a well is dug and reinforced. This provides the space necessary for a person to leave the home through this exit. For the safety of you and your family, it may be time to consider adding this safety feature to your basement.
