What Is an Egress Window?
An egress window is a window that is required in a basement bedroom and is intended to provide a means of exiting in event of a fire or other emergency. Basement windows must meet specific size and requirements to qualify as egress.
Why I-Beams Make Us Superior?
We specialize in the integrity of the concrete or masonry structure. The addition of I-beams on the interior walls around the window opening adds strength back into the foundation. All of our egress window installations include I-beams. We believe in doing it right — no shortcuts.
