If your basement is dark and drab and not a place in your home that you and your family spend much time in, you can dramatically change that by installing an egress window well system. This type of window well will keep in compliance with building codes which state that the occupants inside must have a clear way of escaping in case of an emergency such as a fire. These egress window wells are often constructed with tiers or steps so that family members can easily climb out of the basement if need be.
Some of the new basement wells on the market today look like natural stone from the inside to give you a pleasing view. They also allow a great deal of bright, natural sunlight to stream into your basement which creates a very pleasant environment. The window wells can then be fitted with plastic dome cover which keeps the inside of the window well free from dirt, leaves and debris.
Old window wells are most usually made of cement or metal which becomes discolored and drab from the harsh effects of the weather. However, the new wells on the market today are made from extremely durable composite material that is maintenance-free, resistant to mold, and the harsh effects of fluctuating temperatures.
