Basement Window Replacement

Galvanized Window Wells

When you have a basement in your home that you are using as a living space and the basement is at ground level, it is often a good idea to ensure that the basement window is large enough to allow for an easy exit from the home in case of an emergency. If the basement is below ground level, there might be some laws in your area that state that an emergency window must be installed with an exit option that allows a person to get out if the door is not accessible during the emergency. To provide this exit  a window well is placed outside of the window so that you do not have to dig up whole yard to allow for a window. You can then choose from Galvanized Window Wells or other window wells to install around the window to allow for the exit.

Galvanized Window Wells come in a variety of sizes to suit your window size needs. You can get them in very compact sizes so that they are virtually invisible from the road, or you can get bigger sizes that are easier to use if an emergency should occur. The important thing is that if you choose a window for the basement that allows the glass to be swung out rather than placing them on sliders, then you will need to ensure that the window well allows for the full opening of the window.

If you need to install Galvanized Window Wells you can fool people who come into your basement into thinking that the window just simply leads to the outside. You can do this by using flowers to decorate the window well, as well as painting the interior of the window well with something that appears to be live scenery. If you use potted plants, ensure that they are easily move able if an emergency should occur.

If you have a limited budget for your basement window, then a Galvanized Window Wells is a great option. You always have the option of replacing the window well with another product at a later date if you want to. Some window well products even have their own ladders on them. You will probably have to have the window well installed by a professional if you want it done correctly and safely; however, very handy individuals can install this for themselves if they have other window well installing experience, with little to no trouble.
