CONSIDER ADDING WINDOWS TO
FINISHED BASEMENT
• The Benefits of Basement Windows
• Egress windows can transform a stuffy basement space into a truly open and airy place
to be. Not only can these windows often be utilized to draw in fresh air throughout the
year, but they bring in natural light, help create a healthier living space down in the
basement, and they make your area more welcoming and enjoyable to be in.
• Basement Bedroom Windows
• If you plan on making your finished basement into a bedroom space, or an area where
anyone will sleep, it’s vital that you have safe exit options for that person. Egress
windows are mandatory in that instance. These large windows open up and provide you
with a way to crawl out if the house catches on fire and you are trapped down in the
basement. Not only are they a good way to brighten up your basement space, but they
are excellent for safety purposes as well, which is a valid consideration for you to make
as a homeowner looking into finishing your basement.
