In today's society more and more young adults are moving back with their parents after graduating college and even elders are starting to move in with kids to help out during this economic recession. The most frequent place in the house that the children or elders move back into is this basement because it allows them to have their own space and some sort of privacy that they were once used to while at college or living on their own. You could consider remodeling the basement to suit their needs but that wouldn't make much sense considering the expensive cost of a remodel and the fact that we are all suffering from this recession, now more than ever each dime in your pocket is very important. According to the International Residential Code 2000, which affects the Tri-State area we need to have at least two exits in the basement in order for that room to be considered habitable space. This is where we developed No Mess Egress to provide you with an easy and affordable solution to this dilemma. Installing an Egress Window in your basement allows for that second exit to meet the building codes but it also brings in numerous benefits to your home. The most important and I can't stress this enough is safety. Too many times people have become trapped in their basements due to unexpected occurrences and they have no way out. Think about it, what if your steps collapsed or there was a fire leading up to the stairway, how would you get out? Too many people have died or have been seriously injured due to that exact occurrence and it can be solved very easily, with a simple Egress Window. The window well has stairs so you can easily escape out of your basement window if need be. Besides safety Egress also brings in more natural light that will brighten up your basement and also your mood. Science has shown that being exposed to natural light more often reduces depression in both children and adults which is especially true during the winter months. Natural light will also reduce your electrical and energy charges which is important because once again every dime or penny you save helps. When you are looking to sell your home, if you get to that point, an Egress Window also adds more value. By adding an Egress Window you now have an extra bedroom that you could advertise for your home without the cost of adding an expensive addition. We are here to educated the public on Egress Windows and I hope this helps.
