Why Egress Windows Matter for Chicago Homes

Upgrade your home without sacrificing aesthetics. Choose from privacy glass, energy-efficient frames, and easy-to-operate mechanisms—all while meeting city and state safety codes. We proudly serve Berwyn, Bolingbrook, and beyond with expert window service.

Understanding Chicago Codes for Egress Windows

Chicago building codes typically require:

  • A minimum opening area of 5 sq ft (5.7 sq ft below grade)

  • At least 24″ in height and 20″ in width

  • A window well if the opening is below ground level

These clearances ensure safe and accessible escape during an emergency.

Energy Efficiency Matters

Our basement egress windows are moisture-resistant, draft-free (no aluminum), and available with UV-blocking glass to maintain comfort and reduce utility costs.
