Custom Size Swing-In Basement Egress Window — Escape™ Single Hung Casement, Made to Order
Not every basement wall fits a stock window. An old opening, a narrow wall section or a block course can leave you with an odd size, and a window that fails the egress check fails the inspection.
The custom size Escape™ is built to your width and height. It is the same single hung window that swings in like a door: release one lock with one hand and the whole frame opens, leaving the full opening clear to climb out.
Why Choose the Custom Size Escape™ Egress Window
You get the Escape™ swing-in exit in the exact size your wall needs.
-
Built to your width and height — enter both in the options above and the window is made to that size.
-
One-hand exit — a single actuator releases the multi-point lock and the frame swings inward.
-
Vents like a normal window — the lower sash slides up for fresh air on a regular day.
-
Made in the USA — built by Escape Window & Well, the exclusive maker of the patented Escape™ design.

Sizing Your Custom Egress Window
Measure the opening, then enter the window's outside width and height in the options above. Widths run from 18" to 54" and heights from 30" to 70", up to 108 united inches (width + height). Frame a wood buck to a rough opening 1/4" larger than the window on every side.
The IRC sets the minimum emergency escape opening at 5.7 sq ft, at least 20" wide and 24" high. Use the IRC Egress Window Calculator further down this page to check your size before you order.
Grids, tan vinyl and tempered glass are available on request at +1 (855) 559-5589.
How the Swing-In Exit Works
Day to day, the Escape™ works like any single hung window. The lower sash slides up for air and locks with a powder-coated die-cast cam lock.
In an emergency, one handle releases the multi-point lock on the swing frame. The whole window — glass, sash and frame — swings into the room on four-bar stainless steel hinges, and the opening is clear to climb out.
A continuous triple bulb seal runs around the fixed frame and a Q-Lon compression seal around the sash to keep air and water out. The Escape™ design was tested to AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2-97 at 25 psf design pressure with 0.1 scfm/sq ft air leakage, and passed AAMA 1302.5 forced entry resistance.
The Right Egress Window for Your Basement
The custom size Escape™ puts a swing-in egress exit into the opening your wall already has. One hand opens it, the frame swings in, and the way out is clear. Don't wait — scroll back up and click the orange Add to Cart button to get this egress window on its way to you.
