Safety is our business!

by Window Well Experts / 0 Comment

Open window wells can be a hazard in your yard. Depending where they are located, they can be dangerous for people, pets and wildlife.

We at Window Well Experts have been receiving more calls from people saying that their insurance companies are requiring them to cover their window wells for varying reasons. One is very obvious—the hazard of having people fall into a hole in your yard. The smallest legal egress window well needs to be nine square feet, and most are more than three feet deep into the ground! The possibilities of personal injury are very real. We hear regularly about people falling in window wells, fortunately most are not injured.

That’s where we come in to the picture. Every single cover that we build is made to hold 400 pounds, whether it’s a steel or aluminum safety grate or our clear polycarbonate covers. All our covers are also built to be easily opened or removed for emergency escape.

We recommend our window well safety grates for areas with heavy foot traffic. Window Well Experts can create any size, shape and color grate. Additions like hatches or top cover are always optional.

Our clear sloped and flat covers allow the maximum light into your basement and prevent dirt, yard debris and animals from collecting in the bottom of your window well. It will also protect the people and animals in your life from a dangerous fall into your window wells by supporting the weight of a person falling on it. Covers that are commonly available are made from plexiglass or acrylic and do not hold up to something falling on them, whether it’s snow, ice or summer hailstorms.
