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 window installation involves more excavation, more backfill and more compaction over multiple days |
Minimal Foundation Impact |
Patented ExoFrame design requires less concrete cutting because 3 sides of an existing buck can be left intact |
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 |
More Light |
ExoFrame provides up to 30% more glass area relative to foundation cut |
Less glass relative to foundation cut because of wood framing |
Integrated Solution |
Everything you need in one complete easy-to-install kit |
Multiple trips to hardware store to collect materials |
Superior Environmental Seal | Patented no-mess butyl gasket process eliminates sealing issues from traditional methods and requires minimal use of caulk |
Caulk exposed to elements will inevitably fail, no single caulk works best for all surfaces because they have different expansion, contraction and adhesive characteristics |
Less Maintenance |
ExoFrame requires no maintenance and is termite-proof |
Regular maintenance required to seal & preserve typical wood-frame solutions from elements |
Versatility | Works with nearly any foundation type | Different solutions for different types of foundation |
Industry Leading Warranty |
ExoFrame & well covers have a lifetime warranty, window wells come with a 30 year warranty, windows come with a 10 year warranty |
Product warranty typically limited to 1 year, read the fine print |
