Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about egress windows in Draper, UT.

When Arclume Windows cuts through an existing foundation wall in Draper, structural loads are carefully calculated to preserve building integrity. We install an engineered steel lintel across the top of the rough opening before or immediately after making precision diamond-cut saw passes through poured concrete. This critical step redistributes the vertical loads of your home's framing and upper levels safely around the new opening, preventing settlement cracks or structural shifting.
Under Draper municipal building codes adopting the IRC, an egress window must feature a minimum net clear opening of 5.7 square feet, a minimum clear height of 24 inches, and a minimum clear width of 20 inches. Additionally, the finished sill height cannot exceed 44 inches above the interior floor surface. Arclume Windows verifies all dimensional requirements on every installation to ensure your finished basement bedroom receives full building department sign-off.
Arclume Windows prevents basement flooding by excavating window wells well below the sill plate and installing a deep drainage bed of washed crushed stone. Where site conditions permit, this gravel dry well connects directly into the home's exterior footing drain system to channel away heavy spring snowmelt. We also install heavy-duty polycarbonate or steel-reinforced covers that block roof runoff while allowing natural daylight to illuminate the room.
Most standard basement egress projects managed by Arclume Windows in Draper are completed within two to three working days, weather permitting. Day one typically encompasses site preparation, hydraulic excavation, and wet concrete cutting of the foundation wall. The following days involve setting the corrugated well, installing the drainage bed, anchoring the window assembly, integrating waterproof flashing tape, and coordinating the final city inspection.

Protecting Structural Integrity During Basement Foundation Modifications

Modifying a load-bearing foundation wall in Draper requires meticulous engineering to prevent settlement cracks and floor framing deflection. Arclume Windows installs structural headers and reinforces rough openings with heavy-gauge sill plates, sealing every perimeter seam with commercial flashing membranes to prevent moisture penetration through subterranean masonry.
