Egress windows are a lifesaver—literally! The International Building Code (IBC) sets minimum size requirements to ensure a safe escape in case of emergencies. Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Width: At least 20 inches
✅ Height: At least 24 inches
✅ Opening Size: At least 5.7 square feet for easy exit
✅ Sill Height: Must allow a clear, unobstructed escape
Keep in mind that local codes may vary, so always check with your local building authorities and the latest IBC updates to stay compliant and safe! 🏡🚪 #SafetyFirst #BuildingCodes #HomeSafety
