Egress Window Brings Light into Kalamazoo, MI Finished Basement

Heather planned on creating another bedroom in her basement. Just half of her basement was finished but building code requires all homeowners to have an egress window in all finished basement bedrooms for safe exit in case of an emergency. Most standard basement windows are not insulated and let in cold air. They are definitely not leak proof and during a flood will allow water inside your basement. We installed an egress window in Heather's basement which also allows more natural light and fresh air in to make the space feel larger and more inviting.
