Corrugated Steel Wells for Utility Spaces
A non-egress well is the right pick when a basement window is there for light and ventilation rather than as an emergency exit. Building codes require a code-compliant egress window in any basement living space, but a utility room, storage area, or crawl space opening only needs a well that lets in natural light and air. This rectangular window well fills that role. Its 24-inch projection pulls in more light than our smaller wells while it conserves outdoor square footage, and the shape is narrower in the front than in the back for stability after installation.
Made from 18-gauge corrugated steel, each well is built to hold up against water infiltration and soil pressure once it is fastened to the foundation wall, and it resists corrosion for years. If you need a shorter reach, our elongated wells come with a projection of 20 inches or less. If your space is a living area that needs an emergency exit, our egress window wells are the right product instead.

Where a Non-Egress Rectangular Well Fits
Not every basement window needs to double as an escape route. In utility rooms, mechanical rooms, and other non-living spaces, a non-egress well gives you the window function you want, with access to daylight and airflow, without the larger footprint an egress well requires. The rectangular shape suits standard basement windows, and the 24-inch projection keeps soil back so the window stays clear and dry, away from potential damage. Corrugated 18-gauge steel gives the wall strength against the weight of the surrounding earth, and the rust-resistant finish holds up to rain, snow, and years of weather. A rectangular cover or a safety grate on the well rim is a simple cover installation that keeps out debris and small animals, turning an open well into one that protects your family’s safety. The well itself is an excellent addition to any non-living basement space.

Frequently Asked Questions
“Non-egress” means the well is not built to serve as an emergency exit. Building codes require an egress window and well in any basement living space, but a window used only for light and ventilation in a utility or storage room does not need to meet those requirements. This rectangular well is made for those non-living spaces.

Yes. A Sloped cover or flat cover, fits on top to keep out debris, rain, snow, and all but the smallest of animals. The cover installation is simple; it also removes the safety hazard of an open well. An aluminum safety grate allows excellent air circulation without moving the window well cover, also providing safety for household members and pets. Tell us your well size, and we’ll point you to window well covers that will suit your needs, and we can ship the well and cover together to your home or job site.
Tapcon concrete screws with galvanized or stainless steel washers are a common option to attach the window well flange to the concrete foundation. For larger egress-sized wells, sleeve anchors or wedge bolts are recommended.
We ship to every state in the continental United States. Shipping rates are included in the price, and lead times are from 2-4 weeks depending on stock on hand.

I'm very happy with the window well covers! But, I was most impressed with the Customer Service. They spent a lot of time answering my questions and helping me through the process. Very much appreciated talking with the sales team.

Excellent service and the covers survived their first golf ball sized hail storm. We don't have a Home Depot but we have a Menards.

We went through two sets of the cheap Home Depot window well covers, which disintegrated within 1 year (like our neighbors). Spending more to get durable wells from Window Well Experts is well worth it!
