They are available in different styles, which makes it easy to find one that fits the needs of your home. The crystal clear covers have a UV film that protects them from the rays of the sun. Even though this film protects the covers from the sun, they let in about 95% of the available light.
You also won’t have to worry about someone stepping on it and breaking it. The Sloped, Flat and Super Slant window well covers hold up to 400 pounds of static weight. We use rustproof aluminum in the manufacture of the covers and rust resistant fasteners to make our covers the best available.
