In case of emergency, a window or balcony can be used as an emergency exit. But in cases where the windows are located at a great height from the ground and cannot be used as an emergency exit, it will be relevant to install emergency ladders. Emergency ladders are often called fire escapes or safety stairs, however, they perform the same function.
It is also recommended to install emergency ladders under the windows of the lower floors, so that the youngest members of the family can also safely leave the house in an emergency. When the ladders are located to the side of the window, then transition tubes should be installed under the window in order to get to the stairs.
