Egress Windows Swinging In – Acceptable in Building Code
The International Building and Residential Codes do not specify that egress windows have to swing out. The codes only specify the opening size and location required for the window. In fact, with the European tilt and turn window, they only open in.
I received this question from a reader of the blog, if you have any, please email them to me.
