7 Reasons to Choose Plexiglas® Window Well Covers

Not all window well covers are created equal. Here are 7 Reasons to Choose Plexiglas® Window Well Covers.

Sure, big box home improvement stores carry window well covers…if you want a “one size fits all” or a cover molded from a “heavy-duty” plastic, but will they last?

Chances are that after a season or two of harsh weather you will need replacements. Many of the hard-plastic covers are susceptible to cracking, brittleness, and discoloration; plus, if a cover does not fit properly, it can easily detach and blow away.

Bill Dilworth realized this more than 50 years ago when he could not find window well covers to meet his expectations and decided to make his own using high-quality Plexiglas® and, as they say, “the rest is history!”

Since then the family-owned Dilworth Manufacturing Company has been unsurpassed in crafting custom-made window well covers using 3/16” Plexiglas® acrylic in fabricating their products.

Here are SEVEN characteristics which make Plexiglas® superior to plastic:

Durability – A form of synthetic acrylic, Plexiglas® is designed to last in both quality and value and is the perfect material for outdoor use.
Strength – 3/16” Plexiglas® is solid, strong, tough, and high-impact yet lightweight. For a free sample chip, click here.
Weather-resistant – Plexiglas® will withstand the elements, climate, sun, and range of temperatures while keeping rainwater, snow and leaves out of your window well.
Break and shatter-resistant – It requires extreme force to break Plexiglas®, but should it break, it won’t shatter into a million small shards upon impact.
UV-stability – A Plexiglas® cover will not become brittle and crack or disintegrate from exposure to sunlight (ultra-violet light), nor will it discolor.
Low maintenance – All you need to clean Plexiglas® is mild dish soap, water, and your bare hands.
Clarity and beauty – The clarity of Plexiglas® allows the utmost light and brightness into your basement while enhancing your landscape.

Attesting to the durability and excellent quality of our products, read what Mike N. has to say about his Window Bubble experience – “I purchase the SC5119 (Style 1-S) Window Bubble 35 years ago and it has offered exceptional protection to my window well. It costs $25.95 for the bubble 35 years ago – I received an excellent return for the years of service. I have recommended Dilworth to many who have asked about the bubble. Recently a construction work accidentally put a hole in the bubble. I was relieved to find that Dilworth still makes the SC5119. I have found that a company still making a product that I enjoy is unusual, but when one has an excellent product like this, it is not a wonder at all. I received the Window Bubble and it fit perfectly, hopefully for another 35 years.

All Window Bubbles are proudly and professionally built in the USA and come with a lifetime guarantee covering workmanship and any defects found in materials.
