What Is an Egress Window and Why Do You Need One?

An egress window is a basement window designed to provide a safe escape route during emergencies like fires or flooding. More than just a window, it's a life-saving feature required by building codes in all habitable basement spaces. If you’re asking what is an egress window, it’s any window large enough to allow a person to exit—or a firefighter to enter—in case of an emergency.

According to egress window requirements in Colorado, a compliant window must offer a clear opening of at least 5.7 square feet, with a minimum window size of 24 inches high and 20 inches wide, and the bottom of the opening no more than 44 inches from the floor. These windows are not only essential for safety—they also allow natural light into basements and are required for finished spaces to be considered legal bedrooms.
