Add value and selling features to your home. Egress window well systems provide daylight, ventilation, and code-compliant emergency egress in basement living areas making them as warm, comfortable and safe as any room in the home. Code Compliance The innovative terraced step design of the well, combined with the full size egress window well, meets building code requirements for emergency egress (International Residential Code 2003). Increased Living Space Utilizing the basement area is the most economical way to add living space in any home. The egress window well system is ideal for new home plans or remodeling projects. Comfort Adds natural light and ventilation to basement areas, making them feel as warm and comfortable as any room in the home. Beauty The attractive earth-tone color of the well along with the sleek appearance of the vinyl window will complement the basement interior of any home. For added visual enhancement, the terraced steps can be landscaped with the homeowners' favorite flowers or plants. Economical The system is designed to be contractor friendly for fast, easy installation. Components simply snap or mate together on site for reduced installation time and labor. If your egress window wells are rusty, ugly, or open at the top, they can be dramatically improved. Window wells without covers let in leaves and debris, and rain and gutter overflow water gets in. The dirt bottom allows weeds to grow and mud to splash up onto your windows. All this makes for a pretty lousy view from inside the basement - the space you want to improve.
