A house is a secure place where one feels protected and safe from all dangers. However, it is always advisable to reinforce the protection within the building to avoid accidents and other dangers that could occur. The Fenergic company provides its customers in Quebec with basement windows that comply with the requirements of the national building code to ensure immediate evacuation in the event of fire or other incidents. Sliding or casement, basement windows are practical and bring aesthetics to your building. They are easy to use since they are equipped with a mechanism and an opening that meets certain standards to facilitate the evacuation of children and adults.
Fenergic has developed a casement window with astragal which complies with the minimum emergency opening imposed by the National Building Code in terms of evacuation. This ingenious emergency exit system meets the Egress standard, while allowing an unrivaled choice of windows for basement bedrooms. Get in touch with us for more information on our products or to take advantage of our know-how in window manufacturing.
The basement window must be accessible and have a simple mechanism so that a child or adult can easily open the door or window in an emergency.
The basement window is a means of egress, so it must open from the inside without a key, without tools, without removing the sash or without special knowledge in order to allow all residents of the building to make use of it.
The area of the window opening must be at least 3.77 square feet and its height or width must be at least 15 inches.
The window must easily provide access to the outside and must open in the direction of travel. When installing, it is important to ensure that the window remains open without additional support means. At least 760 mm of clearance in front of the basement window, outside, otherwise a coping must be dug to comply with this rule.
