Attractive, Functional System Provides Hassle-Free Safety at Basement Access Points SCHAUMBURG, Ill., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Waterproofing today announced it is now installing an Egress Basement Window System called "Escape Well." Escape Well has been developed during the past two years and now can be installed quickly and professionally, with the same high standards it has for its basement waterproofing products. Escape Well meets or exceeds most local building code requirements when a sleeping area is located in the basement and allows for easy exit in case of emergency. Should there be a fire or some other hazard that makes exiting the building via the basement stairs dangerous or impossible, the Escape Well window (also known as an escape window) provides an alternative means of exit. The U.S. Waterproofing Escape Well is constructed to be an attractive and functional addition to any home. With all construction meeting U.S. Waterproofing's exacting standards of quality workmanship, its Escape Well includes: -- An escape ladder that is securely fastened to the heavy gage corrugated metal window well liner, affording an easy climb to grade; -- An oversized 35-inch-wide x 42-inch-high (10.2 square feet) window which is large enough to be an easy exit for children or adults; small enough to preserve privacy and also allows more natural light into the basement, and; -- A welded steel grate that covers the window well, minimizing the hassle of cleaning up leaves and other debris and to help keep your home safe and secure from intruders.
