Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Building codes require that finished basement living areas have an emergency egress - an egress window large enough to allow safe exit out of the space in case of an emergency. A large window well with a step in it must also be used outside the egress window.

Here at Sure-Dry Basement Systems, we are certified installers of egress window wells. In addition to providing a safe exit, our egress windows allow more natural light and fresh air into the basement to make the space feel larger and more inviting.

This is an example of an egress window we installed in Belgium, WI.

Before: The basement in this Neenah, WI home was dark and lacked natural light. The homeowners were also concerned about the safety of not having an accessible emergency exit from the basement. They wanted to brighten up the space and ensure their family had a safe way out in case of an emergency.

After: Our team installed a stunning RockWell Egress window well, which instantly transformed the look and feel of the basement. The homeowners chose this well not only for its functionality but also for its beautiful stone appearance. The sophisticated cover, designed to hold several hundred pounds, offers peace of mind while adding a sleek touch to the exterior. The built-in steps add both practicality and charm, making this not just an emergency exit but a design feature. The increased sunlight floods the basement, making the space feel open and inviting, while providing a vital escape route if needed.

The homeowners are thrilled with the results—enjoying both the aesthetic upgrade and the added safety.

The old, leaking windows in this basement were replaced with Everlast windows. These new windows not only fixed the issues with water and drafts but also look much better and modern.

Before Installation

The basement in Wausau, WI, had a standard small window that was insufficient for use as an emergency exit. This window allowed minimal natural light into the basement bedroom, creating a somewhat dark and confined atmosphere. The lack of a proper egress window not only compromised safety but also limited the usability and appeal of the space.

After Installation

Following the installation by Sure-Dry, the basement bedroom now features a new egress window that meets all safety regulations for an emergency exit. The new window is significantly larger, allowing much more natural light to flood the room, creating a brighter and more inviting environment. The addition of the egress window enhances the overall safety of the basement, providing a reliable and accessible escape route in case of emergencies. This upgrade also increases the functionality and value of the basement, making it a more attractive living space.
