Egress Windows

Modern building codes require that new residential homes with basement foundations include egress windows. These are windows installed in the basement that occupants in the home can open and use as emergency exits. If there is a fire in your home, your basement windows may provide the only means of escape.

Adding windows to your basement gives your family an additional means of escape in an emergency. However, that’s not the only reason to ask SafeBasements to install these windows for you.

Here are a few more ways egress basement windows will benefit you:

• Add more light to your basement
• Replace old, leaky windows
• Reduce the need for window maintenance
• Increase the resale value of your home

Aspekt 1800 not only contributes to sustainability through its superior energy efficiency; the lifecycle of uPVC is more sustainable than wood and alternative materials. uPVC has an 80% lower carbon footprint over its lifespan than aluminum. uPVC is naturally resistant to moisture and atmospheric pollutants such as acids and alkalis. It does not dent, warp, corrode or peel. The proprietary uPVC formulation outperforms standard vinyl during weather testing in extreme climates to retain its color and sheen for years.

Additionally, the strength and durability of egress windows will help you reduce the risks of water leaks and damage in the future. These windows also provide extra emergency exits for improved safety.
