Window Well Covers
- Polycarbonate Covers: These covers are constructed from high-impact, UV-resistant polycarbonate material. They are designed to shed water and debris away from the window well, preventing water intrusion and the accumulation of leaves and other organic matter. Polycarbonate covers are available in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different window well dimensions and styles, including rectangular and architectural shapes. Their transparent nature allows natural light to penetrate into the basement, enhancing the living space. Some models may feature a slightly domed design to promote efficient water runoff.
- Aluminum Covers: For enhanced security and durability, BILCO offers aluminum window well covers. These are typically fabricated from sturdy aluminum extrusions and diamond plate for strength and longevity. Aluminum covers provide a robust barrier against debris and can offer a greater sense of security. They are often finished to be corrosion-resistant, ensuring they withstand outdoor elements. Similar to polycarbonate options, they are available in configurations to match various window well designs.
Window Well Grates
- Steel Grates: BILCO provides heavy-duty steel grates for window wells. These are designed to support significant weight, offering a safe platform over the window well opening. The steel construction ensures durability and resistance to damage. Grates allow for light and air circulation into the basement while preventing access to the opening and preventing larger debris from entering. They are typically finished with a protective coating to prevent rust and corrosion. These grates are available in standard sizes to fit common BILCO window wells.
- Polycarbonate Grates: Combining the light-transmitting properties of polycarbonate with the structural integrity of a grate, these options provide a versatile solution. They allow light to enter while offering protection from debris and falls. These grates are engineered for strength and resilience against impacts and weather.
Styles and Features
