It is your responsibility to confirm with your local building authorities what the building and fire code is in your area and given your home's specific situation.

It is your responsibility to confirm with your local building or fire inspector what the requirements are in your area and for your home's layout and situation.

For more information, take a look at our shipping policy.
How is the window shipped?
We work with a variety of shipping providers to ensure we can offer you free shipping whenever you are based.

What is your return policy?
We have a 30-day return policy, provided the window is still in its original condition. To initiate a return please send us a message and a member of our team will begin the return process with you.
Please inspect your item when it arrives. While we have carefully selected a shipping provider who has a reputation for taking the utmost care in product handling, the fragile nature of the products means that they are occasionally damaged during transport. If this is the case, reach out to us immediately so we can evaluate the situation and make it right.
Due to the fragile nature of our products and the inherently cumbersome process involved in shipping them, we reserve the right to charge up to a 25% restocking fee on all returns or cancelled orders.

What if the window doesn't pass my home inspection?
This product does not meet all the IRC size requirements for egress code compliance. By purchasing this below grade side hinge egress window you acknowledge that you have confirmed with your local building or fire inspector that this size meets the regulatory conditions you need.
We will not accept returns on the grounds that this product does not pass the inspection.
If you are looking for a window that will meet the 5.7 square foot requirement for egress code, check out our egress window product.
Can I get a custom size window?
Unfortunately, due to unacceptably high supply chain lead times, we are no longer offering custom window sizes. They simply take too long for us to get the windows to customers.
How big should the rough opening be?
The dimensions listed for each product are the dimensions of the outside frame of the product. We generally recommend installing windows into a rough opening that is 0.5" wider and taller than the frame dimensions.
For example, a 36"w x 30"h window is best installed in a 36.5"w x 30.5"h rough opening.
