One of the main reasons for installing an egress window is to provide safety for your family. If an emergency were to occur, occupants would safely have a way of getting out of the basement as well as emergency crews would have a way to enter the basement. Other benefits include adding natural light to your basement.
Imagine sitting in your basement office, bedroom or living space and being able to gaze outside and see the sunny day around you. Natural light livens up a room, allows for plants to flourish, and generally makes people happier. And when deciding to add more living space to your basement, such as a family room, bedroom, home office or perhaps a rental apartment, you will reap the benefits of turning a dark, dingy room, into a dramatically bright comfortable living space.
Basement space is the most affordable living area to build in a home. Egress windows increase the value of your home, they bring basement bedrooms and living areas up to code and increase the overall square footage of the home. It is international residential code (IRC) for any finished basement in Nebraska or Iowa to have an egress window for the basement to be considered finished living space.
