Basement Windows Articles:
- The Importance of Basement Windows - For one, basements are often stuffy and feel close or crowded. Ventilation is important to basements in order to make them a livable area.
- What Are Window Wells - Consider yourself very lucky if your home has window wells. Without them, you would not be able to let daylight into your basement, making it a darker and less inviting space.
- Basement Window Well Covers - Especially if used for egress, basement window well covers must meet strict guidelines. In 2000 the IRC (International Building Code) required that a basement room, if used for sleeping, had to have at least one clear opening of 5.7 square feet for escape in an emergency.
- A Brighter Basement: Window Wells Are Worth It - Window wells have had somewhat of a mixed reaction from home owners. They are quite functional and allow a great deal of light into the basement.
- Basement Egress Windows To Make Your Home Safer - Egress means a way out or exit, so a basement egress window is an exit or means of escape generally in case of fire. Basement windows used to be tiny spaces that allowed a slight amount of light into the basement.
- Steel Basement Windows - A Two-Way Street - Why would anyone install windows in a basement? If you have single-paned steel basement windows in your home, you've probably been staring at them and asking yourself this very question.
