Dome-style covers give any well a clean, finished look while doing real protective work for your basement. They block out rain, debris, and animals while keeping natural light flowing in. Several styles are available depending on what type of window you are protecting, how much ventilation you desire, and what type of window well you have. Contact us to find out which option suits your well.
Window Well Covers
All Shapes. All Sizes. All Styles. Shipped Anywhere in the USA.
Window Well Experts has spent years building and improving window well covers for homeowners and builders across the country. Our product line has grown to handle every well type, size, and situation. Our covers are made to last.
We work with crystal clear polycarbonate, rust-free aluminum, powder-coated steel, and combinations of these materials depending on what your well needs. Our covers fit metal, composite, wood, concrete, plastic, and stone window wells.
Every well is different. Our custom window well covers are sized and built around your specific window well, with no compromises on fit, regardless of shape, material, or surroundings.
Whether your well is an unusual shape, an oversized opening, or built from a material that standard covers do not account for, we build a cover around it. If an off-the-shelf cover won’t fit your well, ours will.
- Ground Level Cover: ground-level basement window protection from water, debris, and impact. Rectangular dome designed with a shallow projection.
- Bubble Covers: dome-shaped cover available in 9 sizes for standard metal wells
- Atrium Dome: rectangular dome designed to protect your well and the above-grade window. Allows crank-out windows to open fully for emergency escape.
- Super Slant: provides extra slope for enhanced drainage. The flip-top is hinged for easy access to the well. Welded construction; mesh sides are standard.
- Square Corner / Rectangular: made with a 3" overlap of the inside of the well, or the full overlap option. Best coverage to help keep concrete, timber, brick, and paver wells cleaner and drier.
- Semicircle: Sloped and Flat options in nearly any size, with an optional back panel for windows above the well lip
- Sloped: sheds water away from the foundation wall, built to your dimensions, and available for most window well types.
- Flat: same materials and lifetime warranty as our sloped covers, at a lower price point
We build covers at both ends of the size spectrum, including oversized covers for large residential and commercial openings and compact covers for small vent wells. Every cover is built to fit the specific well it is going on. We ship to customers across the continental USA and parts of Canada.
- Escape Hatch: available on most cover types for egress-sized wells that require emergency egress.
- Top Covers: clear snap-on covers that keep rain out and remove easily for ventilation.
- Aluminum Grates: lightweight, rust-free, and egress-compliant for egress-sized window wells.
- Steel Grates: heavier build keeps the cover in place in wind, common in smaller and is preferred for high-trafficked commercial wells.
Metal grates provide constant ventilation and allow up to 70% natural light into the basement. Available in steel or aluminum with powder coat options in black, gray, or custom colors.
We recommend steel for smaller wells where the added weight keeps the cover in place in wind, and aluminum for larger wells where egress compliance and lighter handling matter. Installation is easy, and most grates are set directly in place right out of the box.

FAQ
1. First, You Should Decide What You Want To Accomplish.
- Keeping debris, animals, or water out of the well
- Protecting children or pets from an open well
- More natural light or better airflow in the basement
- Meeting egress code requirements
2. Match the Cover Type to Your Goal
- Sloped, Flat, or Bubble covers: best for weather and debris protection
- Atrium and Super Slant covers: best if you have a window that is above the lip of the well.
- Metal grates: best when airflow is the priority, highly recommended for decks and patios
- Custom covers: best for irregular shapes or oversized openings
3. Choose the Right Material
Our polycarbonate covers support up to 400 pounds, include UV protection, and will not chip, break, or fade. Metal grates hold up to 100 pounds per square foot. All covers are built to your measurements. View our Measuring Guide or call our team, and we will walk you through it.
View our Measuring Guide for step-by-step instructions before you start. Measure the opening from outside edge to outside edge, both width and depth. If your window well is round or semicircular, measure the widest point and the depth from the wall to the front of the well. If your basement window extends above the rim of the well, note that measurement too, as you may need a bubble cover or another option. Before we build your cover, we will ask you to confirm your measurements one more time to make sure everything is right. If you need help at any point, call our team, and we will walk you through it at no charge.
Polycarbonate covers block debris, rain, and snow while letting most of the natural light through. Metal grates provide constant ventilation and up to 70% light transmission. Both are custom-built to your measurements.
Weight capacity varies by style. Sloped, Flat, Grate, and Super Slant covers hold up to 400 pounds. Atrium and Bubble Dome covers support up to 150 pounds. Metal grates handle up to 100 pounds per square foot, depending on the grade desired.
Many of our covers meet basement egress requirements if you already have a code-compliant egress window well. Our aluminum grates are compliant with most standard egress window wells. For larger wells, we can add an escape hatch so the cover opens from the inside for emergency escape. If your basement window serves as a code-required emergency exit, contact our team before ordering. For more information, browse through the IRC Building codes here.
Here is a quick video on how to install sloped and flat window well covers.
