What Is an Egress Window?
An egress window is a basement window designed large enough to allow safe exit in an emergency. These windows also allow more natural light and ventilation into basement spaces.
Homeowners in Brampton and the GTA commonly install egress windows when:
Finishing a basement
Creating a basement bedroom
Converting a basement into a rental unit
Improving basement safety
Replacing small or outdated basement windows
Proper installation requires excavation, cutting the foundation wall if needed, installing a window well, and ensuring proper drainage around the new opening.
Why Homeowners Install Egress Windows
Many basements were originally built with small windows that provide little light and limited ventilation. Installing an egress window can make a basement feel more open and functional.
Benefits include:
Improved Safety
Egress windows provide an accessible escape route in case of emergency.
More Natural Light
A larger window brings daylight into the basement, making the space more comfortable.
Better Airflow
Basements often feel damp or closed in. Proper windows improve ventilation.
Increased Property Value
Finished basements with proper windows are more appealing to future buyers. Suitable for Basement Bedrooms. Many homeowners add egress windows when converting basement areas into bedrooms.
Our Egress Window Installation Process
Installing an egress window requires careful planning and proper construction methods. At Great Choice Construction, we follow a structured process to ensure the installation is done correctly.
1. On-Site Assessment
We visit your home to review the existing basement wall, window location, and surrounding space.
2. Excavation
The area outside the foundation is carefully excavated to allow space for the window opening and window well.
3. Foundation Opening
If needed, the foundation wall is cut to accommodate the new window size.
4. Window Installation
The new egress window is installed and sealed to help prevent water intrusion.
5. Window Well Installation
A properly sized window well is installed to allow clearance and drainage.
6. Finishing Work
The surrounding area is backfilled and the installation is cleaned up before completion.
Our goal is to complete the work efficiently while protecting your property during the process.
