"Best Buy" Egress Window

"Best Buy" Egress Window FARM HOME Houses 31-2-13 When the Abe Wronski family of Port Huron, Mich., built a new farm home, they did a lot of hard thinking about the design of the basement. That's because one of the family members suffers from claustrophobia. To solve the problem, Wronski installed three new Habitech egress windows. The big window wells provide a lot of natural light, and are large enough for even the biggest person to get out if necessary. A hinged safety grill installs over the top. The Wronski's say the only drawback is that the window wells do occasionally fill with leaves and have to be cleaned out. Downspout openings need to be at least 6 in. from the sides of the window well and directed toward a well-drained area. Improper drainage could cause a window well to cave in during heavy rains. The window well attaches to the wall with five concrete fasteners on each flange. Its soft, oyster shell tone reflects a maximum amount of non-glare light into the basement. An optional window well ladder is available. The Habitech basement egress system is warranted for 10 years for replacement due to materials or workmanship.
