Understanding Egress Window Requirements for Bedrooms | Ecoline Windows

Описание: By law, windows in any room that can be used as a bedroom must meet minimum opening size requirements to serve as an emergency exit. This is known as egress. If you have multiple windows in a room, at least one must meet egress requirements.

The interior dimension of the window frame should be no less than 15 inches in length, with a minimum total square footage of 3.8 sqft. This applies to the operable part of the window, not the entire window size. Not all window types are suitable for egress; for example, awning windows can't open past 45 degrees. While casement windows can be used for egress, special considerations are needed for slider windows, as only their regular operating size counts toward egress approval.

Meeting egress requirements may require expanding the window opening, which involves cutting into the wall and disrupting studs in the header, necessitating city approval.
