Previous Basement Window
This homeowner wanted to invest in an Egress window to qualify her basement as a finished space. According to Illinois law, for a basement to serve as a finished space, there must be an easy escape route outside.
Inside Basement
Inside the basement, you can see the old basement window that didn't serve as an escape route for the homeowners. This small window also wasn't able to provide natural light into the basement.
Beautiful Egress Window
The new Egress window is now much larger! This window now creates more light and serves as a safe escape out of the basement.
Inside Window Well
Now, this window has a well that leads out of the basement. If the unexpected occurs, this homeowner won't have to regret not investing in an escape route.
