The next step is to select a size and type of window and a location in your home that allows for a safe and and unobstructed exit in case of emergencies in order to meet the egress requirements. Once you have this plan in place, you will need to obtain the necessary permits from your local building department before you can begin installation.
The installation process includes cutting the opening, securing the window well if below ground level, and installing the window itself, ensuring it operates correctly. After installation, it's essential to have the egress window inspected by local authorities to confirm it meets all safety and code requirements.
