Egress Windows

What is an Egress Window?

A basement egress window is a code-compliant emergency exit — required by law for any finished basement bedroom or living space. In addition to enhancing safety, egress windows add natural light, improve ventilation, and boost your home’s overall value. If you’re planning a basement remodel or already have a living space downstairs, it’s essential to install an egress window that meets both legal standards and design goals.
A basement window is properly installed for a home.

More Than Just an Exit: The Benefits of Egress Windows

At BDB Waterproofing, we understand that homeowners want basements that are both functional and safe. Our team has been installing egress windows and window wells across the region since 1999.
  • Emergency Escape: In the event of a fire or other emergency, an egress window provides a vital escape route for you and your family.
  • Increased Natural Light: Egress windows bring daylight into dark, often dreary basement areas, making them feel more welcoming and less like an afterthought.
  • Improved Air Circulation: Opening an egress window helps with ventilation, reducing the risk of mold and mildew buildup.
  • Boost in Home Value: Homes with finished basements and egress windows often appraise higher, as the space is legally counted as livable square footage.

Don't Overlook the Window Well - It Protects More Than You Think

Window wells provide a space between the window and the surrounding earth to allow light into sub-grade structures. In some cases, window wells also provide an emergency point of egress. Properly installed window wells also play an important role in draining excess rainwater away from your foundation. (source: square one)
