Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Building codes require that finished basement living areas have an emergency egress - an egress window large enough to allow safe exit out of the space in case of an emergency. A large window well with a step in it must also be used outside the egress window.

Here at Sure-Dry Basement Systems, we are certified installers of egress window wells. In addition to providing a safe exit, our egress windows allow more natural light and fresh air into the basement to make the space feel larger and more inviting.

This is an example of an egress window we installed in Belgium, WI.

Before: A Finished Basement Missing One Key Element

These Sheboygan homeowners had recently completed a beautiful basement renovation—adding new flooring, lighting, and a functional layout. But one thing was missing: a code-compliant egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the space couldn’t legally be used as a bedroom or safe living area. The lack of natural light also left the space feeling dim and enclosed.

Wanting to protect their investment and their family, the homeowners contacted Sure-Dry to ensure the basement was not only beautiful—but safe and up to code.

After: A Safe, Bright, and Code-Compliant Basement Upgrade

Our team installed a tan Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its sleek appearance, strength, and full IRC compliance. The new system not only met safety requirements—it completely transformed the space with natural light and fresh air.

What We Installed:

• A large, code-compliant egress window with a tan Rockwell stone-look composite well

• Built-in ladder for safe and easy emergency exit

• Polycarbonate cover to prevent water, leaves, and debris from collecting in the well

• Seamless exterior finish that complements the home’s look and landscaping

With the new egress system in place, the finished basement now meets all legal requirements for living space—and feels more open, bright, and welcoming.

The basement of this home in Menominee, MI was dark, outdated, and not up to code for use as a living space. With an undersized, rusted window and no safe emergency exit, the homeowners couldn’t use the space for a bedroom or family area—and little natural light made it feel cold and uninviting.

To make their basement safer and more functional, Sure-Dry installed a Rockwell Egress Window System.

This high-performance egress solution features a beautiful stone-look window well made from durable, UV-stable composite material. A built-in ladder provides a safe escape route in case of emergency, while the polycarbonate well cover protects against water and debris.

By allowing natural light to pour in, this egress window transforms a previously unusable basement into a bright, code-compliant living space.

Designed for safety, style, and durability, the Rockwell system is a smart investment that adds long-term value to the home. With its resistance to frost, rust, and rot, it delivers peace of mind in all seasons.
