 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott DeWitt is the absolute 100% reason for my review being 5 stars instead of 3. He was a great installer, timely, respectful, genuine, and did the job right. Everything else unrelated to his work wasn’t all that impressive. Thanks Scott for the top tier work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered this company while visiting relatives in Ohio. Since our initial contact to replace two sets of French Doors, the entire process has been exceptional, simple, and the products are of the highest quality (while not the priciest in the market!) No hesitation to recommend this company to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith came out to review and quote our project. He was timely and informative. Then Thomas came out to install the windows - he was early (AWESOME), polite, completed the task quickly, and cleaned up after himself. We are happy with our windows too - they look great. We'll definitely work with this team again on our future window projects.

Best Egress Windows in Grand Rapids

An egress window is required in precise places in a house. It is designed to serve as an emergency exit. Windows have to satisfy particular requirements, including size, to pass as an egress window. For egress windows in Grand Rapids MI, trust the experts at WMGB Home Improvement. We have been installing windows for over 30 years and have earned a reputation for providing superior service and excellent products.

All homes need reliable ways to enter and exit in the event that an emergency arises. For most, this means simply maintaining easy access to the front and back door. However, it’s possible to give yourself even more options in order to create a safer environment via egress windows. Installing an egress window isn’t as simple as just fitting one on your home, though; there are industry standards that must be met.

Egress Window Basics

What exactly is an egress window? Simply put, it’s a window large enough to pass through. It’s designed to allow easy exits by those living in the home and easy entrance for rescue specialists during an emergency. They are generally required for every bedroom in a house and homes with basement areas and include a combination of steps, ladders, and wells to make using the window as easy as possible when required. The windows themselves come in many forms, ranging from simple casement windows to sliding or in-swinging options, but all of them must meet specific standards in regard to width, height, and ease of access to pass modern regulation laws.

Egress Window Benefits

When you invest in egress window installation, you’re choosing to comply with building regulations for certain spaces, which is something every home must do. However, there’s so much more to this upgrade than mere compliance, especially when you choose to work with a professional team that can help you select the ideal placement. Some of the great benefits you’ll experience in any room with egress windows include:

Better lighting
Increased airflow
Customizability

These are all great benefits, but none of them are as prominent as the overall boost to safety that these additions bring to your home year-round. By ensuring your home is as safe as possible, you’re investing in peace of mind that simply can’t be matched, and that is crucial to love the home you’re in.

Egress Window Style

The absolute customizability of egress windows is one of their best features. As long as you work with a professional to follow the regulations regarding egress window replacement, you can be as specific as you’d like with its design. This includes the well, stairs, or ladder outside the window, too, allowing you to complete your home’s safety measures without sacrificing the look of your home, either inside or out. Choose from casement, in-swinging, or even sliding windows and pair your choice with complex rock-textured wells or wooden wells of your choice to create a look unlike any other.

Egress Window Requirements

Egress windows are required in every bedroom and in basements with a living area because they ensure your family’s safety with a proper escape system. Our Holland egress windows installers make sure that they are meeting the requirements of the local building codes by properly installing the window or well system. Some benefits of egress windows include:

Added visual enhancement with landscaping
Maintenance-free high-density polyethylene construction
Available in a number of sizes
Increased amount of natural daylight into the room
Enhanced home value

Basements and every sleeping room must have at least one operable emergency and rescue opening that will provide enough room for a firefighter to enter through the window with all of their equipment.

Window Wells

A cut is made through the basement wall during installation. It might be necessary for outside excavation to produce a large enough opening for the window well. Once the window opening has been made, you can have the window well customized to your liking. Window wells can be closed with screens as long as the opening height and width of the cover or screen meets that of the egress window itself when open. The screens must be releasable or removable from the interior without needing a tool, key or using strength greater than what is required to normally open the egress window.
