Basement window replacement

enidpl
7 år siden
Hi there! My house is from the 70s and the windows are 37" x 13". I wonder if I replace my old windows for this ones (without cutting the concrete) they would pass the city of Edmonton regulation for a basement suite? I am just looking for ideas. Thanks!

    You'll have to cut block and put in a larger window for a bedroom. Check out Edmonton's website:

    http://www.municipalaffairs.alberta.ca/documents/ss/1217_Finishing_your_basement.pdf

    Bedroom windows


    Unless a bedroom has a door that leads directly

    to the building exterior, or the basement is sprinklered,

    each bedroom must have at least one

    window that can be opened from the inside

    without the use of tools or technical knowledge.

    This window must provide an unobstructed

    opening with a minimum area of 0.35 m2

    (3.77 ft2 or 543 square inches), and no dimension

    less than 380 mm (15 inches).

    HI There,

    Are you measuring your rough concrete opening? or is this the size of your windows glass etc? There is usually a rough-buck (typically of wood) that can be removed to get a larger concrete to concrete size


    We can typically meet Canadian egress codes, which are a 15" minimum throat and 3.77sqft as Talathia had mentioned with a rough opening of 39" wide and 17" high with an interior mount basement window. I would love to discuss this further with you. You can take pictures of your windows and send them to me, if you aren't sure what I am talking about when I say rough-buck.


    Thank you

    Natalie

    I measured from the surface of the jambs side to side. I think I know what you mean with rough-buck. I'll email you the pictures. Thanks!
