Wellcraft egress windows and wells.
It’s The Law
According to the 2006 IRC - International Residential Code
(section R31) requirements, egress windows and wells are
required under the following circumstances:
• If you add a bedroom in 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.

An 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 su-
perior weathering capabilities and no maintenance once
they have been installed. They are warranted against rust-
ing, rotting and decay for a period of ten years.
