CONSIDER ADDING WINDOWS TO
FINISHED BASEMENT
• How Can You Add Full Sized Windows?
• It’s entirely possible to add full sized windows to your basement, they are known as
egress windows. Even if your basement is fully underground you can have these large
windows put in, and they will draw in sunlight from outside while offering some fresh
air as well. These windows come with large holes in your yard around your home that
are often dug out with staircases and other additions to make them accessible. These
holes or bays are designed to draw in sunlight and to make it possible to climb up out
of the basement if you need to in case of an emergency. Egress windows aren’t cheap to
add, but they are an important enhancement for a basement environment that you want
to dress up as much as possible, or that you want to turn into an actual living space.
