You’ve got questions about our window well covers and accessories. We have answers.
Our clear and steel covers are rated to hold up to 400 lbs.
Building code states that the covers have to be removable to allow egress (escape). Our covers lay on top of and inside the well. By fitting snug on the inside and on top of the well, the covers are secure, stable (can’t shift), remain in place even in high traffic areas.
We have come to find that each window well is slightly different in size or shape even though they start out as the same shape and size. Because of this, we have found that being on-site to measure and install is the only way to provide a truly custom look and fit.
Because we are completely custom and make our covers fit exactly to your window well we don’t have covers in stock.
Yes. The deposit does go toward the balance of the covers!
The deposit is refundable up until the day before templating
We offer black or brown steel window well covers.
Our Lexan is about 0.155 inches thick reinforced by aluminum cross bracing. Polycarbonate is used in many safety-related applications, such as bulletproof windows, police shields, and hockey masks. It remains one of the strongest, most durable plastics available.
We would be happy to install them sooner. In order to do this, we ask for an additional $100 to put a priority rush on your order.
It typically takes about 2-3 weeks for installation after you place your order.
Wasatch Window Well Covers uses the latest and best powder coating available. A 3 stage process ensures the most long-lasting and durable coating you can get. Not only do we prep the products with a high degree of quality, we make sure to bake them all the way in compliance with powder coating manufacturers’ specs. This allows for the powder coating to adhere the best and remain flexible to prevent cracking and chipping in the future. We stand behind our process with a full lifetime paint warranty.
We are proud to be one of the few if not only window well cover manufacturers in Utah that doesn’t do estimates or pricing. Because of 17+ years of experience, we are able to charge one price for all our covers. So the price you see on our website is what you can expect for pricing (up to 7 feet in width).
We would be happy to make a cover for you. First, send us some pictures of your window wells. We then will have a tech take a look at them and give you a call to walk you through how to make a template. After you bring us the template, we will build the cover and let you know once it is complete for you to pick it up.
If the child is able to remove a screen or open a window, he/she can get our covers off. Our patent pending EZ Lift System makes lifting a cover even easier!
We offer a lifetime structural and paint warranty! The paint warranty specifically covers flaking, peeling, or the paint naturally falling off. It does not cover against scratches or chips.
We do service those areas; however, we require a travel fee and need a full route to go there.
We deal with this situation often, and it will not create a problem. Since the window sits higher than the well itself, there will be a gap between the cover and the window. We recommend what we call a backing if you want a clear cover. Our technician will measure the backing when they come to take measurements for the cover. If you want a steel cover, we offer an inset (pricing depends on size).
$100 Deposit: To initiate the process, only a $100 deposit is required. This deposit is entirely refundable until we visit your home to measure your window wells.
50% Balance Due: After we’ve measured your window wells and discussed your specific requirements, a 50% payment of the remaining total balance will be charged. This step ensures that your customized window well covers are on their way to being crafted with precision.
Completion and Final Payment: Once we return to your home to install the window well covers, the remaining balance will be charged.
You can add a lockdown to the cover to prevent anyone from lifting it from outside the home. In case of an emergency, you can remove the cover from the inside using the emergency release.
Clear covers will allow 90% of natural light. Steel covers allow about 85% of natural light.
The clear covers will limit the airflow but allow enough to prevent mold and mildew.
Our steel cover is made out of an expanded metal and angle iron. We also use the latest in technology through CNC plasma tables, automated angle rolls, and imaging systems.
We offer a neighborhood discount if it is over 20 covers.
As long as the technician has access to the window wells you do not have to be home.
Utah building codes require an escape ladder in an emergency exit that is deeper than 44”. Any living space in a home requires 2 escape routes, generally the doorway and the window. If you’re well is deeper than 44” you will be required to install an escape ladder.
If the well is within 3 feet of a walkway it needs a cover.
No, they don’t. However, they do need a little more upkeep and maintenance than the steel.
No, we leave a small gap on the back of the cover for ventilation so mold and mildew cannot produce.
Our clear cover is sloped to have the water run off the window well cover. They aren’t 100% waterproof but they’ll keep the majority of water out of your window well, including snowmelt.
Wasatch Window Well Covers are completely custom so the well cover fits exactly to the size and shape of your well. We also are the only company that uses the inner fit system; meaning the lip of the cover sits on the inside of the well giving the cover a nice snug fit while still allowing them to be removed easily.
