Beauty
Whichever Wellcraft egress system you choose, you will be truly satisfied with the quality and beauty that these windows and wells provide. Your basement will be filled with natural light and our available well colors will blend with your interior décor.
It's the Law
According to the 2006 IRC–International Residential Code requirements, egress windows and wells are required under the following circumstances:
- If you add a bedroom a basement, an egress window must be installed in that bedroom.
- If you create a habitable space in your basement and you currently do not have an egress window, one must be included with the installation of the habitable room.
Dependable
You can count on a closed well cover to be sturdy enough to support up to 500 pounds while eliminating the risk of anyone falling in the well. The cover is also light enough for a child to escape easily.
Easy-to-Install System
- Choose between a one-piece unit or a modular unit that can be stacked to any depth with no bracing necessary.
- Well covers can be attached to the well easily and protect people and pets from accidentally falling in.
- Windows are shipped “ready to pour” with the sash and screen inside the frame for one-step installation
Maintenance-Free
Wellcraft egress window wells are made from polyethylene with UV inhibitors. This durable material gives them superior weathering capabilities and no maintenance once they have been installed. They are warranted against rusting, rotting and decay for a period of ten years.
Safety
Fire can spread rapidly through a home, leaving as little as two minutes to escape safely. In the event of a fire or emergency, family members have the ability to escape out of the basement quickly through Wellcraft egress windows and wells.
