Egress window requirements ensure basement safety, code compliance, natural light, and emergency escape access.
The Importance of Basement Egress Windows
At Ayers Basement Systems, we care deeply about the well-being of homeowners throughout Detroit and surrounding communities. That’s why we focus on educating homeowners about the importance of code-compliant egress windows, especially during basement remodeling or finishing projects.

With the addition of a properly installed egress window, the basement became a fully functional living space, offering:
- Natural light and fresh air
- Peace of mind knowing there’s a safe exit in an emergency
- A comfortable, code-compliant living area
