An Egress opening is designed to be large enough for a firefighter to climb in or a person to climb out of in an emergency. Federal building codes now require all living spaces in your home to have 2 forms of egress, with specific code required size and heights to be code compliant. Installing an egress opening is not a job for your handyman; it is for an expert in the field who knows what to do and how to do it. Long Island Egress Pro's are experienced, licensed, and insured. GET UP TO CODE Get up to code by meeting the requirements for window size and height. MORE NATURAL LIGHT Before Egress window systems, most basements have little or no access to natural sunlight. An egress window will allow tremendous natural sunlight into your dark and musky basement. Natural sunlight is an important part of our overall health and well-being. Natural sunlight saves you money on your utilities and changes the entire feel of your lower living space, our customers tell us they feel like they are in their living room. The sunlight changes the entire feel of your home. SAFETY Over 6,000 Americans die in fires annually, which should be a significant cause for concern for any homeowner or basement living tenants. Adding an egress window system will give you peace of mind knowing your family can get out in the event of a fire, or any kind of emergency situation. PROPERTY VALUE Homeowners are always looking for additional features before buying or selling. New home buyers often seek egress windows as required by code. Homes with egress windows have a higher value, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR).
