What Are the Different Types of Egress Window?
Generally, there are three main types of window than can be sized for and used as egress windows: casement windows, gliding or sliding windows, and double-hung windows. Sometimes a skylight is also suitable to use as an egress window. Awning windows are not generally used as egress windows because their openings are usually too small and the hardware to open the window is often centered in the window opening, making it difficult to have a clear space to climb through.
