Egress Window Well Covers

Egress window well covers are the crowning piece of any complete basement egress system, forming a protective lid over the window well below. They function similarly to an escape hatch, as they’re able to be pushed up from underneath. Although they may be the last egress component to be installed, they should certainly not be the least of your considerations, as they serve several important roles.

Materials

Window well covers are most commonly constructed from polycarbonate plastic, which is widely used in engineering applications due to its strength, impact and heat resistance, and ability to transmit visible light similar to glass. UV-protective coatings can be applied to screen out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
