Basement Window Well Covers

By: Nancy Hardy

Especially if used for egress, basement window well covers must meet strict guidelines. In 2000 the IRC (International Building Code) required that a basement room, if used for sleeping, had to have at least one clear opening of 5.7 square feet for escape in an emergency. Any covering over the basement window also has to be easily opened with under 40 pounds of pressure. If a basement window cover is used, it too has to be easy to open and provide 5.7 square feet for escape room.
Many homes need protective basement window covers for a variety of reasons. Perhaps snow melt or heavy rain causes water to leak into the basement. Perhaps animals or small children must be prevented from falling into the window well. Perhaps insulation or protection from leaves and debris is needed. In any event, protective basement window covers must meet stringent safety codes.
Basement windows and egress wells come in many sizes and shapes. The covers offered in home improvement stores and hardware stores usually protect only standard sized windows, and many will collapse under a heavy snow. If you need a custom basement window cover, consider a durable, safe WINDOW BUBBLE custom fit for metal, wood and masonry window wells. These basement window covers insulate and protect your home and are guaranteed to fit and to withstand weather, sun and a wide range of temperatures in outdoor use..
The WINDOW BUBBLE is formed from 3/16” thick PLEXIGLAS® Acrylic and will be “BUILT TO YOUR WELL MEASUREMENTS” and guaranteed to fit your well. Plexiglas® Acrylic is a completely weather resistant plastic that is not affected by sunlight, temperatures or weather extremes. Even if you have pipes or wires, dryer vents, etc. extending from your well a WINDOW BUBBLE can be designed to fit and cover your well.
All custom basement window covers come with complete instructions and hardware for easy installation. Write or call now for our brochure and complete do-it-yourself measuring instructions.
