Types of Windows
Egress windows are basement windows that provide occupants with a safe exit during an emergency. In the states of Missouri and Illinois, egress windows are a requirement in all basement bedrooms and must meet certain size standards. In addition to ensuring the safety of your loved ones, egress windows are also a great way to add natural light to a typically dark basement.

Types of Egress Windows
Slider
A slider window slides horizontally, providing half of the window opening for egress. This attractive, easy-to-operate style is unobtrusive and easier for children and seniors to use.
Inswing
An inswing window is like a casement window in reverse. This style is hinged on one side and, when open, allows the entire window frame for egress.
Vertical
A vertical window is a more traditional style in which the operating section lifts vertically to allow for egress. Vertical windows fit well in traditional spaces with large window wells.
