Four people will die in residential house fires today.

That’s the facts and statistics from the National Fire Protection Association. House fires are incredibly dangerous and can be fatal for any occupants involved, which is why it is so important to take safety precautions. That’s where Mar-flex CEO Brett Oakley comes in.

In 1984, while fighting a routine house fire, the Mar-flex CEO, then a volunteer fireman, fell through the floor and landed in the basement of a burning home. He quickly realized there was no way out, and this changed his life. As a 20 year veteran, he was able to escape the home successfully, but he began to wonder if everyone else could.

That’s why Mar-flex began producing an economical solution in the form of egress window wells. Egress window wells allow more natural light and fresh air into your basement than regular windows, while at the same time offering any occupant of the home a safe exit in case of emergencies. All Mar-flex egress windows are manufactured from high quality plastics and not metals, so they won’t rust or dent. Mar-flex offers window wells in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns.
