Egress windows are an important safety feature in homes, but many people don’t know they need them until it’s too late.
Did you know that every home should have at least one egress window? It’s a simple way to make your home safer in the event of a fire or other emergency.
We specialize in installing egress windows in Toronto. We have years of experience and our team is knowledgeable about all the latest safety standards.
An egress window is a window used for emergency exits in event of an emergency such as a fire. It is required by code to be big enough for adults to escape easily and it needs to have a window frame and window sash, and still be in good condition. There are different types of egress windows including casements, sliders, awnings, and bedrooms. A basement egress window must be installed at the bottom of the outside wall of the house with an entrance door on ground level. The living space can be used for additional living space or limited space because of its small size.
Other than escape in an emergency, egress windows have other benefits such as increased natural light and ventilation in your room. Without an egress window, you can’t get the benefit of this additional light and ventilation.
In addition, if you live in a space that has limited living space or limited bedroom space, then installing an egress window could help make more living/bedroom space available to use as desired. You may also need to install an egress window if you are finishing your basement so there will be a way for the finished basement to meet Ontario Building Code requirements for adequate year-round ventilation.
Also, the interior look of an egress window can be enhanced with trims for aesthetic purposes.
Egress windows provide additional living space for those who live in basement suites or have limited living space in their home. When converting a basement into a secondary suite, it's best to install the window frame at the same time as the building permit application is submitted. This ensures that there are no delays in obtaining your occupancy permit.
If you're not converting your basement, then installing your window frame can be done at any time.
The National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) has outlined a few requirements that apply to egress windows:
A window well is a U-shaped, ribbed metal or plastic product designed to fit around basement windows. They are used for protection against moisture and dirt. They usually have a drainage system to channel rainwater.
Also, window wells need to be big enough for humans to get out.
