Egress windows are defined as those that allow an emergency exit from a home (typically in a basement). They are hugely important (for obvious safety reasons) and also, often, very expensive. However, the high cost is not necessarily for the window itself. Instead, egress projects require a number of steps that add to the project cost. At any rate, enjoy our selection of egress window pictures and photos.
Overall Price Point: 10.0 out of 10
Bottom Line: City and counties require proper egress windows for any basement. They can be very cool looking (or very bland), and definitely add an interesting element to any home.

Egress Window Basics
Basement or egress windows provide an emergency exit from a basement space. All cities and counties in the United States require them on all homes with a basement area. Generally, the window space when open has to be large enough for a normal size adult to exit. Many egress window projects include a ladder for the individual to safety climb and escape.
Egress Window Pictures
We have assembled a list of pictures and photos to give our users a better sense of what these projects look like. So, enjoy the photos and we hope that they help you to better envision what your next egress window project might look like. Lastly, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the importance of collecting multiple bids for a complicated undertaking such as this.
Project Cost Range
Egress window projects have a big price range. For instance, a simple pre made set up might run $1500. A mid range custom project might be $3000, while a high end project can run $5000 plus. Furthermore, companies can bid these projects out at pretty ridiculous prices if they think they can get away with it. Always collect a handful of bids in order to find the fair market price of your specific project.
