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.

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.
