Egress Window

Egress windows are a perfect addition to any basement. Whether your looking to let in more natural light, create a better emergency escape exit, or add an up to code conforming basement bedroom. Alpine Companies takes all interior and exterior obstacles into consideration, when choosing the section of foundation wall where the egress window will be installed. Once Alpine Companies starts the project the only thing the client needs to conform to is, the window has to be a minimum of 20 inches wide, 24 inches high and no more than 44 inches from the basement floor. The reasoning behind these measurements is the measured escapable space must be at least 5.7 square feet. 
Alpine Companies works with all local city officials to ensure that your egress window is installed properly.

We always make sure our clients add egress windows when we are doing disaster repair work, foundation repair or crawl space conversions. There are still too many homes in Colorado that don't have egress windows and this is dangerous because there's over four hundred thousand fires a year in basements, and thousands of deaths that could have been avoided if the family's would have simply had one egress window to escape from.

Installing egress windows in your basement will provide an escape route for you and your family in an emergency, and will also allow light to get into your basement,  which will make everyone happy, and the benefits don't stop here, because egress windows will add value to your home. Your new egress window will now be considered a legal  conforming bedroom, that you can advertise as, if you should ever sell your home.  

We have dozens of different styles and sizes of egress windows that will match any home and any interior decor, so your home will look beautiful when were done and you will finally feel safe in your own home.

Alpine will also install a new conforming window well when we do your egress window conversion.
We will make sure the new window well blends in with your existing landscaping, and will include the escape ladder, steel grate and plastic rain protection cover.

Emergency escape and rescue required: Section R310.1
