Buy window well covers in 5 easy steps

How To Choose The “Right” Window Well Cover

We have many options that will help you keep your basement and window wells clean and dry, your family safe, and accommodate emergency escape in case of fire. Please see the points below that our Experts ask every customer when they call. If you need help, don’t go it alone! Give us a call.

First, decide what you want to accomplish.

• Do you want to avoid leaves and other debris from collecting in your window wells?
• Are you concerned about water collecting in your window well?
• Do you want to protect your children and pets from falls and injuries?
• Are you focused on letting in more natural light or safely increasing airflow in your finished basement?

After you decide on your preferences, you’ll better know what designs accomplish your goals. Only choose covers made of durable, rust proof material.

• Indeed, you can purchase plastic bubbles from your local big box or hardware stores. but be prepared to replace them regularly. Cheap covers will often shatter if hit with a weed whip, if a stone hits them when the lawn is mowed, or worst case if someone falls on it. Very often, these covers are made of plastics that are NOT meant for outdoor use.
• Our covers are made from durable polycarbonate with UV protection that does not chip, break or fade over time.
• Install window well covers that support the weight of children and adults for safety.-
  • Our Sloped, Flat. Grates, or Super Slant covers can support weights up to 400 pounds.  Atrium and Bubble domes are designed to support 150 pounds as they are not designed to be “walkable”.
  • Our metal window well grates are suitable for high-traffic areas and also provide constant ventilation for your window well, preventing moisture accumulation.

We consider all aspects of your window well before designing and manufacturing your window well cover.

• We do ask you to measure your wells for the estimate, but don’t worry, we will ask you to double-check everything before your covers are manufactured. 
• If your basement windows extend above the top of the window well, we have solutions for you depending on your window type..
  • We can add back panels or backsplashes to low profile covers to help keep debris and water out of your well.
  • We also have Atrium domes and Super Slant covers to cover the window above the lip of the well, and of course, Bubble domes for metal wells, and only in selected sizes.
  • Please keep in mind, if you have a crank-out type window, a low profile cover will NOT be code compliant. A low profile cover clips to the well and will not allow the crank out window to open.
