FAQ
The short answer is yes. Our heavy-duty window well series is created with IRC building codes in mind. Egress window wells are required in basement bedrooms by local building codes to provide emergency egress.
This is valid for every living space or bedroom you have in your basement. In this case, your window well should not only provide sufficient light and ventilation for your basement but also provide an escape route for a fully grown adult.
IRC building regulations for any window require ladders well that is over 44” inches deep from the gravel at the bottom of the well to the lip.
Hook-over ladders are recommended for our heavy-duty window wells. These are secured by hooks at the top lip of the well and bolted to the wall at the bottom of the well. They come in 3 to 8 steps – for wells with depth up to 96″.
Most building code regulations do not mandate covering the window well. However, when you have a large and deep window well, we recommend installing a heavy-duty window well cover for safety purposes, as the risk of injuries is significantly higher. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you combine your well with our low profile unbreakable window well cover or a sturdy aluminum grate.
Even though it is not required by code, many insurance companies are requiring homeowners to cover window wells to prevent liability problems from falls. The covers mentioned above are engineered to support 400 pounds, and the low profile Sloped and Flat covers have a lifetime warranty.
