Escape™ Windows
Omaha Door & Window offers Escape™ Windows by Escape Window & Well Corp. to address the need for egress windows. By law, if you have a bedroom window in the basement of your home, that window must meet the egress code of 5.7 square feet of overall opening size as a second way of exiting the room. An Escape™ Window will provide year-round safety and peace of mind for your family. In the event of an emergency, your family will be able to escape safely and quickly because the emergency latch is easy to open and within the reach of everyone – including children, senior citizens, and those with handicaps.
Let ODW do the difficult work of cutting the concrete block or poured concrete basement wall before installing the new Escape™ Window. Don’t worry, our professional installers will also dig the hole in the ground to the proper depth for the window well on the outside and install your choice of either a Galvanized Steel Corrugated Window Well, a Steel Corrugated Well with walls that have a Laminated Stone appearance, a Fiberglass Window Well with sandstone-colored walls, or a Vinyl Modular Window Well that includes a built-in ladder. All four styles of window wells come with a Hinged Polycarbonate Cover with mounting clips that allow the lid to open easily for escape.
