[ee-gres] – noun

-A means of place of going out; an exit

Most people are unaware of the benefits of egress solutions in structures, but Mar-flex owner Brett Oakley isn’t one of them. In 1984 Oakley was a volunteer firefighter for the then-underfunded township fire department. He had witnessed many different fires and emergencies and had become an experienced veteran. Unfortunately, one fire he arrived on was unlike any he had seen, in that he fell through the floor, landing in the basement of the home – which had quickly turned into a smoldering inferno. It was at that moment, as he lay on the basement floor, looking up at the burning structure – that he had a revelation that would change his life forever. As he got back onto his feet, he realized that, for the average homeowner, there was no way out of this situation. Luckily, Oakley was a 20 year vet, and could escape the home quickly and safely. However, after the fire all he could think of was how homeowners couldn’t escape from the same situations.

Four people will die each day in residential house fires, and many people will be trapped by tornados or other natural disasters in their basements – waiting on rescue. Your family doesn’t have to be in this situation. This is a truly sad and many times preventable, occurrence. This is why Mar-flex manufactures the highest quality, least expensive egress window solutions. Mar-flex knows in the event of an emergency you need a means to egress out of your basement, and the ability to do it safely. That’s why our windows are manufactured from high-quality heat-resistant plastics that allow for a quick escape.
