Standard install does not include interior trimming out. In a color that best matches the existing trim. Exterior of window 2x4s are then wrapped in aluminum. Insulation is then installed around the window. We install a treated 2×10 around the window frame and use a standard wood header which gets wrapped in aluminum (treated wood in this situation would have an adverse effect with aluminum.) The window is secured to a treated window frame. Inside is a 5 rung escape ladder constructed from flat steel and re-bar. A clear polycarbonate form-fitted lid covers the grate to keep leaves and debris out. All egress windows come standard with a powder coated grate to provide fall-in protection. After installing the well, the outside is mainly backfilled with 1″ clean rock for better drainage. We use a deeper than standard well for a better install. Then 15 feet of coiled drain tile is installed and then 1″ (diameter) clean rock. We can also special order other sizes.ĭuring installation we dig out dirt approximately down to the top of the footing. We install 30″ X 48″ and 48″ X 48″ windows in a casement window and the wider 48″ window is also available in a slider style. All egress window systems we offer meet or exceed the national and local code requirements.
Window well escape systems may be a safety requirement, but you don’t have to sacrifice your basement’s beauty to comply with code! Wells are constructed of 18GA steel with a white finish, or an optional stacked stone appearance – an alternative to expensive concrete or composite wells. These are typically required when finishing a basement and are paired with an Egress Well with attached ladder for easy escape. At least one window in each bedroom must be of sufficient size to permit the occupants to escape a fire and also to allow a fully outfitted firefighter to enter.
An egress window is a window large enough for entry or exit in case of an emergency.
