For a below-grade finished basement, window wells are a smart addition. Basements present a unique challenge when it comes to moisture management, and with a below-grade basement, handling water is even more of an issue due to the windows. A high performance window well can solve several problems, especially if the basement is finished and is used as a family room or bedroom.

Window Well Benefits

If you have a finished basement that you use as a bedroom, there may be local building regulations that require an emergency egress. For these cases, window wells with built-in steps are available. In addition to satisfying requirements, they provide peace of mind, as there is an additional route, if the main stairs become unusable. A window well also brings light into what may be a very dark basement room. Our high-quality window wells include options for a cover or grate. Window well covers prevent water, snow, leaves and small animals from getting into the window well. Both the cover and grate provide safety for homeowners with young children.
