The Bright Idea Difference

What makes the best egress window kit?

 Bright Idea Egress

The Old Way

Reduced Install Time

By following Bright Idea process, installation can be completed in less than one day

Traditional egress windows involve more excavation, demolition & hauling, over multiple days

Minimal Foundation Impact

Patented ExoFrame design requires removing no greater amount of foundation concrete than window dimensions

Wood frame solutions require removal of up to 30% more concrete from the foundation

Superior Structural Integrity

A 4x4 steel ExoFrame supports 3000 lb. load at the center point & 6000 lbs. of overall load

Traditional wood frame solutions do not rival the superior strength qualities of ExoFrame

Better Security

Impact-resistant glass with multiple locking points

Varies based upon quality of window

Less Excavation Effort

Dig (and compact) 30-50% less dirt for well excavation, easily fasten to foundation with the only well design to feature interior flanges

Conventional exterior flange requires digging more dirt around well, poses greater settling risk to foundation, and involves unpleasant effort of hanging upside down to attach well to foundation 

Premium Window & Hardware

High quality European-style tilt & turn window with adjustable German hardware which can be fitted to shorter household members

You get what you pay for

Our Customers Say It Best

I never choose the cheapest option. I buy for quality. The fact that it was German manufactured and wasn't advertised as cheap swayed my decision. I’m really hard to please, and I’m very pleased with the window.

— Daniel P.

The price was good, but the fact it could be installed in one day sealed the deal.

— Dennis C.

I felt more secure that their kit came with a metal frame, and that everything came together. The only thing I wish I had done differently was gone ahead and paid for the interior trim kit.

— Michelle B.


That frame in the kit made the install a piece of cake. By turning the basement into living space, the value of that room went from $20 sq ft to $100 sq ft. I spent $3k and my house went up in value $10k.

— Dan L.

I wanted to install the largest window possible, and I’m so glad I did.  The amount of light coming in really transformed the basement room to a well lit, usable space that is pleasant to be in.

— Laurie S.

Bright Idea's egress window kit made the install breezy. As far as DIY projects go this one was easy. I hired someone to do the concrete cutting so that helped. Great design from an engineering standpoint.
