Wall Sawing for Egress Windows
What Is an Egress Window?
An egress window is a large opening in your basement that offers a secondary exit in case of an emergency. Egress windows also add more natural light to your basement. For more information about egress windows, contact Hawley Coring today. Give us a call at (303) 988-3008.
Our Egress Widow Install Process
Preparation
When preparing for an egress window, the excavation dimension should be as follows. Depending on the size of a new egress window, hole sizes will vary 4 feet out from the wall, one foot out from vertical rough opening cut lines, and 18" below the bottom horizontal cut line. This allows room for the safe operation of equipment and the installation of a window well. With a properly dug hole, cuts are straight and square, whether hand sawing or track sawing.
Concrete Removal
Next, concrete will be removed from the wall. Then it will need to be broken up and removed, so the installation can begin.
Project Completion
After installing your new egress window, backfill will be required.
