Safety Features and Emergency Benefits
Why Choose Egress Windows?

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.

Common Questions About Egress Windows

We know replacing windows is a big decision, and you may have questions. Here are some of the most common inquiries from our customers.

What are the minimum size requirements for egress windows in Calgary?

In Calgary, egress windows must have a minimum opening width of 51cm (20 inches), minimum opening height of 61cm (24 inches), and minimum net clear opening of 0.35 square metres (3.77 square feet). The sill height cannot exceed 1.5 metres (59 inches) from the floor.

Do I need a permit to install egress windows in Calgary?

Yes, egress window installation typically requires a building permit in Calgary. Our team at Glarior handles all permit applications and ensures your installation meets city requirements and building codes.

Can egress windows be installed in existing basements?

Absolutely! We specialize in retrofitting existing basements with egress windows. This involves cutting the foundation wall, installing proper drainage, and ensuring the window well meets safety requirements.

How much does egress window installation cost in Calgary?

Costs vary based on window size, foundation work required, and installation complexity. Contact Glarior for a free assessment and detailed quote tailored to your specific project needs.

What's the difference between egress windows and regular basement windows?

Egress windows are significantly larger and designed specifically for emergency escape, meeting strict size and accessibility requirements. Regular basement windows are typically smaller and don’t provide adequate emergency exit capabilities.

Do egress windows affect basement insulation and energy efficiency?

Modern egress windows actually improve energy efficiency with advanced glazing, weatherstripping, and insulation. They reduce heat loss while providing the safety benefits of emergency egress.
