Basement Windows vs. Egress Windows
Basement windows vary in size, shape and functionality. If a basement is unfinished, it may simply have small ventilation windows placed near the ceiling. Finished basements usually have larger, more functional windows. However, to be an egress, a window must open fully and basically be large enough to fit a person through, in the event of a fire or other emergency.
What We Provide
Mr. Foundation will supply all materials and perform and coordinate all work required for the installation of a new code compliant egress window or repair of your current window well/ egress window to match/ surpass current required standards.
Mr. Foundation takes egress very seriously. Your safety and/or the safety of your tenant during a catastrophic event is paramount. After careful consideration of egress windows for bedrooms we have decided to take the initiative of creating a turnkey package that surpasses the minimum standards of the Ontario Building Code.
Egress Windows Saves Lives
Egress windows are a crucial addition to any basement, not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their life-saving potential. These windows provide an easily accessible exit in case of emergencies, such as a fire or natural disaster, allowing occupants to safely escape from the basement. Not only do egress windows comply with safety regulations, but they also provide natural light and ventilation to enhance the overall atmosphere of the basement. Investing in egress windows is not only a wise decision for the safety of your home but also for the added value and enjoyment of your basement space.
