Safety first!

At Window Well Experts, we understand the importance of safety and accessibility in every aspect of your home, including your basement. That’s why we offer our Escape Hatches for our egress sized window well covers, and design them to provide a convenient means of egress in case of emergencies.

Having an emergency escape plan in place is vital for your family. It only takes a few minutes to set up, then when the worst happens, it is a reflex for everyone to follow the plan. Having a cover with an escape hatch included on a large window well cover makes emergency egress less daunting when seconds matter.

The design process

After the cover is purchased the design process begins. Starting with our estimators, we get information and photos that we need from you and get your preferences, so when we send your order to the engineer we are sure that the placement of the basement escape hatch aligns perfectly with your specific needs and requirements. We take into account factors such as the type and placement of the escape window and how it opens, the location of the egress ladder, and the ability of family members to utilize the cover effectively. This personalized approach ensures that every installation meets both safety standards and the unique preferences of our customers.

Our escape hatches are engineered to make large covers egress code compliant while prioritizing ease of use and minimizing the weight that needs to be lifted. Unlike large one-piece covers, which can be cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, our hatches are smaller and are significantly lighter, making them more user-friendly and accessible for all members of the household.

Adding an escape hatch to any style cover over 60″ x 36″ provides an additional layer of safety for your family. Look at the Gallery above to see the ways we have integrated basement escape hatches in the past. In the event of an emergency, having a designated escape route can be lifesaving, allowing occupants to exit the basement quickly and safely. 

Furthermore, our escape hatches are custom-designed to accommodate any well, window, and egress ladder combination, ensuring a seamless integration with your existing layout. With our gallery photos showcasing the versatility of our hatches, you can trust that we have the expertise and flexibility to meet your specific needs.

Installation is easy!

Our Escape Hatches are integrated into the cover and need no additional assembly at the time of installation. Installing your cover, no matter which type, includes installation instructions and all hardware necessary. We are a phone call away if you are having any problems.

By consulting with our team and investing in this innovative feature, you can rest assured that your home is equipped with a reliable means of egress in case of emergencies. Prioritize safety and convenience with Window Well Experts, your trusted partner in basement safety solutions.
