Before: A Basement Master Bedroom Without a Legal Exit
In Algoma, WI, these homeowners made their master bedroom in the basement—a popular way to maximize space in the home. But there was one major problem: the room didn’t have a legal egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the space didn’t meet building codes and posed a serious safety concern.
In addition to the code compliance issue, the existing window was too small to let in adequate light and ventilation, making the room feel dim and closed off.
Knowing how important it is to have a safe, legal sleeping area—especially in a basement—the homeowners reached out to Sure-Dry for a lasting solution.
After: A Safe, Bright, and Code-Compliant Bedroom Escape
Sure-Dry installed a Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, specifically designed to meet code requirements and protect homeowners in case of emergency. This upgrade completely transformed the safety, functionality, and appearance of the lower-level master suite.
What We Installed:
-
A code-compliant egress window large enough for safe emergency exit
-
A durable Rockwell stone-look composite window well with built-in ladder
-
A polycarbonate cover to keep out water, leaves, and pests
-
Improved natural light and ventilation for a more comfortable bedroom environment
With the new egress window in place, this basement bedroom now meets Wisconsin building codes and provides the homeowners with peace of mind knowing they have a safe exit point in the event of a fire or emergency.
