Q: Are egress windows required?

• <div><p>Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between an egress window and a regular window?

• <div><p>An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space. </p></div>

Q: How much does a window well and installation cost?

• <div><p>Installing a window well costs anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more. Adding an egress window and well runs about $3,900 on average. Adding a window well cover to the project can add $200 to $700. A well cover helps protect your egress windows from weather damage and keeps them clear of dirt, debris, and wildlife.</p></div>

Q: What are the 5 types of windows?

• <div><p>There are more than five window types, but five of the most popular types include casement windows, sliding windows, double-hung windows, picture windows, and awning windows. Each style offers something different. Some are great for ventilation, others for letting in light, and some can do a bit of both. For kitchens, specifically, it helps to think about how often you&rsquo;ll open the window, how easy it is to clean, and whether it fits well in the space you have.</p></div>

Prices were reasonable. Work was well done. When there was a mystery substance on my windows that did not initially come off, they made 2 additional visits to find a solution. It worked and I am completely satisfied. I would and have recommended Window Genie.
