Egress Windows (Evacuation windows)
Egress windows are emergency exit windows typically installed in basements or lower levels of a home to provide a safe escape route in case of fire or other emergencies.
These windows must meet specific building code dimensions to allow a person to exit easily and for emergency personnel to enter if needed. Egress windows also help bring in natural light and ventilation to spaces that are usually dim or enclosed.
