# Diff notes — legal-basement-window-size

## Major adds

- One-sentence banner after hero (clear opening vs street-facing glass).
- Primary keyword alignment: **egress window size** woven into H1, headings, and FAQ.
- Short egress fence H2 with link to `what-egress-window.html` (definition page keeps definition-only intent).
- NBC requirements consolidated into a scannable table (area, dimensions, sill, operation).
- Window-well requirements table (900 mm / 1,100 mm ladder depth from live).
- **uPVC casement** CCW product fence + **25-year transferable warranty** on replacement mention.
- Soft mid-body link to https://www.windowscanada.com/windows.html in retrofit section.
- Closing H2 + soft CTA to https://www.windowscanada.com/appointment/ (pilot shape).
- New FAQ H3: “What is the minimum egress window size in Canada?” (primary keyword support).

## Major deletes / demotions

- Long pre-takeaways intro paragraph (replaced by banner + tighter opening sections).
- Full “What is an egress window” essay (demoted to brief H2 + outbound link).
- Embedded **Related Articles** widget (Jeld-Wen, Feng Shui, Vancouver pricing, etc.).
- **Locations** commercial link dumps (Newmarket, Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Bridgewater).
- Five separate Installation best practices H3s (sill pan, plumb/level, insulation, hardware, commissioning) folded into retrofit/moisture and safety bullets.
- Standalone Conclusion H2 (merged into closing CTA section).
- Separate Safety & Accessibility + Permits H2s (compressed into one section).
- Energy section “Insulated vinyl or fibreglass frames” as CCW-implied product claim.
- Live typo fragment “En” in drainage list.
- Em dashes in headings and body paths.

## Why (summary)

Live page had strong NBC content and useful tables but lost clicks amid widget noise, commercial dumps, and sprawl (~2,245 words). Refresh tightens to ~1,700–1,900 words, owns **egress window size** / **legal basement window size** intent, fences definition traffic to `what-egress-window.html`, and applies CCW fact hygiene without inventing provincial code detail beyond live NBC numbers.
