Egress windows are a crucial safety feature for Calgary homeowners who prioritize family protection and building code compliance. Unlike standard basement windows, egress windows are specifically designed to provide a safe escape route during emergencies while meeting strict Canadian building codes. These windows open wide enough for occupants to exit quickly and safely, while also allowing emergency responders easy access to lower levels of your home.
Thanks to their larger opening requirements, egress windows dramatically increase natural light in basements, transforming dark spaces into bright, livable areas. Their substantial size and modern design make them perfect for basement bedrooms, family rooms, and home offices where both safety and comfort are priorities.
Engineered with reinforced frames, high-performance weatherstripping, and energy-efficient glazing options, these windows provide excellent insulation against Calgary’s temperature extremes while maintaining their primary safety function. Their robust construction and reliable opening mechanisms ensure they’ll perform when you need them most.
At Glarior, we don’t sell windows – we focus exclusively on professional installation and replacement, ensuring every egress window meets safety codes, is properly sealed, and provides reliable emergency access for years to come.
Casement egress windows feature a hinged sash that swings outward like a door, providing a wide opening for easy escape. They are popular for their versatility, excellent ventilation, and ease of operation, making them ideal for Calgary homes where quick emergency exit is essential.
Double-hung egress windows consist of two vertically sliding sashes that can be opened from both the top and bottom. They offer flexibility in ventilation and are suitable for traditional and classic architectural styles while meeting egress requirements for Calgary building codes.
Sliding egress windows have one or more horizontally sliding sashes that glide along tracks to open and close. They save space and are ideal for areas with limited clearance outside the window while still providing the required opening size for emergency egress.
Custom egress windows can be designed to meet specific size, shape, and aesthetic requirements. They can be tailored to complement the architectural style of your Calgary home while providing essential safety features and meeting all local building code requirements.
At Glarior, we install egress windows that do more than just meet building codes — they protect your family, increase your home’s value, and create brighter living spaces. Here’s how:
