Glass & Security

Egress + safety glass + security — all required, all included

An egress window installation is a four-way intersection of code requirements: minimum opening size (5.7 sq ft of clear opening), bottom of opening no more than 44 inches above the finished floor, tempered safety glass at this height, and a window well sized to permit escape. Trust Build engineers the entire package as one job — including the glass spec.

Because egress windows sit at grade and are required to open easily from the inside, they're also among the most common forced-entry points on a home. We address that with a laminated inner pane on every egress install — it adds nothing to escape time from inside, but transforms the window into a forced-entry-resistant barrier from outside.

Triple pane + Low-E 272 + tempered

Standard egress spec. Tempered safety glass is code-required at this height.

Laminated inner pane

Standard on every Trust Build egress install — forced-entry resistance with no impact on escape time.

Impact-resistant laminated

Optional upgrade for finished-basement bedrooms, in-law suites and legal rental units.

Obscure or frosted glass

Privacy option for basement bedrooms and bathrooms while remaining egress-compliant.

Security Window Film: If you have existing basement windows that meet egress sizing but lack security glass, Security Window Film is the right one-day retrofit — same forced-entry resistance, no need to disturb the egress compliance. Learn more about Security Film →
