What our customers are saying

"Just ordered a side hinged egress window from these guys, shipped out of Canada, received it in six days. No shipping charges, the GEC was top notch all the way, from fab shop to shipping, reminds me of a bygone era, when people actually took pride in their work. When you demand the best in your egress window, these are the people to call. And it's a very good-looking window too."

-David T.

"I bought a single window at first to see what the quality and fitment would look like, and once the window was installed, I absolutely loved how it looked and functioned. I bought two additional windows to install in my basement for the rest of the windows. Unfortunately, during shipment one of the windows was broken by UPS (UPS notified me of damage and discarded the broken window). Jacob reached out to me as soon as UPS notified us of damage and instantly sent a replacement window. Would highly recommend this company. Especially if something goes wrong (like UPS damage) they are quick to respond and always seem to take care of the customer first - which is truly appreciated. Would highly recommend."

-Dmitri K.

"Wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you for the excellent customer service and communication we received. Carter was really helpful with our recent window order. We look forward to working with you again."

-Ashley R.

Side Hung Egress Window Overview

You've already taken the first step towards transforming your dark and unused basement into a bright, vibrant, and livable space. Now you need to clear the regulatory hurdles to get your basement up to code.

Sometimes it can seem like there are endless building codes you have to deal with. We make checking off your window egress code easy.

Our Egress Windows with Hinges Side Hung are:

Affordable and easy-to-purchase
Ready-made with a solid PVC frame and insulated glass
Energy efficient to keep your heating bill low and your basement cozy
Egress code compliant for your local area
Available standard with a removable screen*
Made using specially-designed egress side hung hinges to optimize the egress opening
Designed with a simple, one-handle locking mechanism that can easily be opened by children

How do side hinge egress windows work?

Our egress windows with hinges side hung open the same way as a door. This means that the window will swing inwards. What separates our side hinge egress window from other similar windows is the exact positioning of the side hinges.

Our hinge allows the window to swing completely open, without the open sash obstructing any of the clear opening. This unique design allows us to maximize the clear opening size, relative to the size of the frame, making it egress code compliant.

*Note: To use as an egress window, remove screen - the screen is supplied for convenience only and can hinder escape in the event of an emergency like a fire.

Shipping

We are a small team and do our best to ship orders as quickly as possible. In general, most orders arrive within 10 days of being placed.

Please note that products shipped to the USA may be subject to import duties, tariffs, and customs fees as determined by US regulations. These charges are not included in our product prices or shipping fees and must be paid by the customer directly to the customs authorities or delivery service upon receipt of the order. We recommend that customers familiarise themselves with any potential duties before placing an order. For any questions about shipping or duties, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Please note that due to the fragile nature of our products, damage does sometimes occur during shipping. In the event of such damage beyond our control, we will send a replacement unit, however it is unlikely to arrive within the original 10 day estimate. Be sure to account for the possibility of such delays when planning your project.

We are happy to announce that our shipping is carbon neutral. For every egress window that we ship, we contribute a portion to sustainability initiatives large enough to counteract the environmental impact of shipping. This helps us contribute to a sustainable future.

Egress Code Chart*

The following chart indicates where our window will meet egress code. Many localities simply default to the state building code, but there are exceptions. There are many municipalities and local building codes are updated all the time. It is ultimately your responsibility to confirm with your local government if there are any requirements above and beyond the state building code.

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 shipping whenever you are based.

Our shipping is carbon neutral. A portion of every order is donated to environmental initiatives to completely offset the carbon emissions of shipping. After all, we want you to be able to open your new window and enjoy clean air.

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.

Have a look at our full return and refund policy.

What if the window doesn't pass my home inspection?

We want to ensure the process of getting the right egress window for your home is as simple as possible.

It is important to remember that egress requirements vary from place to place. We sell some windows that pass egress in one region, but not in another. Please consult with our Egress Code Chart to determine which of our windows meet the egress code in your area.

If you purchase a window from us that we say will pass egress in your region and it does not pass your home inspection please do reach out and let us know. We will work with you to understand what went wrong and how we can make it right.

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 1" wider and taller than the frame dimensions.

For example, a 30"w x 40"h egress window is best installed in a 31"w x 41"h rough opening.
