Previous Windows
The previous basement windows didn't allow in a lot of natural light into the basement. This homeowner also wanted the windows to be bigger to provide an escape route out of the home in case of an emergency.
Guest Bedroom
The homeowner wanted to install an Egress window into this room specifically to classify the basement as finished floor level. In Illinois and Missouri, to classify as a finished floor level, an escape route must be present. Currently, this basement didn't have an escape route for emergencies.
Preparing for Installation
Here is a closer look at the small windows in the basement. Team Woods would soon combine two of the small windows to make room for the much larger Egress window.
Beautiful Egress Window
Just look at the difference! The new Egress window provides an easy exit route and will allow in plenty of natural light. Job complete!
