I’m finishing my basement and I know egress windows are a must for safety, but the rules feel confusing. How do I make sure I choose the right size without risking a failed inspection?
During our basement renovation, I quickly realized that picking windows without guidance was a bad idea. That’s when I looked up the basement window size requirements, which clarified exactly what’s needed for safety and compliance. Using those standards, we picked windows that let in light and passed inspection smoothly. It was a small step but really made the basement feel safe and comfortable — and it saved a lot of potential headaches later.

I’d hate to install something too small or too big and have to redo it. Getting it right from the start seems crucial.
