Q: Can pros handle installations in non-standard windows?

• <div><p>Yes, with modifications or the use of adapter kits for tricky placements.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a window well?

• <div><p>Most professionals can install a window well in two to three days, depending on the size of the well and the window you want inside it. If you&rsquo;re just replacing an existing window well, the work is much less intensive, and most experts can get the job done in just one day. Connecting the window well to a drainage system or installing a custom concrete window well will naturally take longer, but even the most complicated installations shouldn&rsquo;t take more than three days.</p></div>

Q: Do egress windows open in or out?

• <div><p>Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows. </p></div>

Q: Do egress windows meet safety codes?

• <div><p>Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.</p></div>
