Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about egress windows in High Point, NC.

Residential egress windows in High Point must satisfy the North Carolina Residential Code by providing a minimum net clear opening of 5.7 square feet (5.0 square feet for grade-floor windows), a minimum clear opening height of 24 inches, a minimum clear opening width of 20 inches, and a maximum sill height of 44 inches from the finished floor.
Replacement egress windows qualify for federal energy tax credits in High Point when the selected casement or in-swing unit meets the current Energy Star regional climate zone criteria for U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient ratings. We provide National Fenestration Rating Council certified documentation with every installation for your tax filings.
Water is prevented from flooding an egress window well in High Point by installing an excavated drainage dry well filled with clean washed stone tied directly into the home's exterior footing drain system. We also install durable structural well covers to deflect rainwater away from foundation openings.
Casement styles work best for compact egress openings in High Point because their side-hinged sashes swing fully open, providing the maximum possible clear opening area within a narrower structural frame footprint compared to double-hung styles.

The Critical Nature of Proper Foundation Drainage and Structural Engineering

Cutting through poured concrete or masonry foundation walls requires engineering accuracy. An improperly installed egress well acts as a funnel for severe rainwater during seasonal downpours, flooding finished basements. Hartley Window Studio excavates down to foundation footings, ties in positive drainage channels with washed stone, anchors structural lintels, and seals perimeter cuts with industrial-grade vulcanized elastomeric membranes to keep your foundation dry and secure.
