Egress casement windows An innovative new opening system to optimise the space available for evacuation

To provide an adequate means of escape, windows must open from the inside without the need for tools or special skills, provide a clear opening of at least 0.35 m2 (543 in2) and each side of the opening must be at least 380 mm (15″). The window still must not be more than 1.5 m above the floor.

• For skylights or window wells, a minimum clearance of 30 inches must be maintained in front of the window to allow adequate passage. The use of a shutter must not reduce this clearance.

• The Egress standard does not apply if the room is equipped with operational sprinklers or an exterior door.
