Toronto Egress Window Requirements
If you’re planning on putting an egress window in your Toronto home, there are a few requirements you’ll need to meet. First, all egress windows must be a minimum of 20 inches wide and 24 inches high. The sill must be no more than 44 inches above the floor.
The opening must be large enough to allow a person to fully enter or exit the home. This means that the window must be at least 5.7 square feet in size.
The total height of the window, including the sill, must be no more than 48 inches.
Finally, all egress windows must be equipped with a means of egress, such as a ladder or stairs. The window needs to be clearly marked with an “egress” sign.
By meeting these requirements, you can ensure that your egress window is safe and up to code.
Egress Windows Types
We install different types of egress windows to our clients in Toronto. Some of them include;
Casement Windows
These are hinged at the side and open outward. They provide good ventilation and are easy to clean. Often, they're handy when there's an obstruction outside the window, such as a bush.
Awning Windows
These are hinged at the top and open outward. They are a good option for rooms that need ventilation but don't want to sacrifice privacy. Consider them if there's no obstruction preventing them from opening fully
Single or Double Slider Egress
These windows slide open horizontally. They are a good option for larger openings and areas where privacy is not a concern. You should consider installing them if you have young children or pets, as they can be opened without reaching outside.
