Happy Home Owners
I wanted to thank you for the great service and product you provided. The window bubbles came in while I was in Tucson and I just got around to installing them tonight. Installation was easy and they look great. Thanks again.
Mike S.AZJust a note to let you know that the window bubble arrived today and is a perfect fit. Thank you so much! What a pleasure to work with you and your company.
Jane C.PAI’m crazy about my Dilworth Window Bubble!
Jean G.The packaging was super, the instructions were very clear and the bubbles are already installed! They look great! Thank you for all your support and follow up. We are VERY pleased with the results. You have been exceptional to work with from start to finish.
Barbara S.I don’t think my satisfaction with the Window Bubbles can be adequately expressed. After looking literally for years for suitable window well covers, you provided exactly what I wanted in fit and quality. The Window Bubbles fit the siding and slightly sloping ground level perfectly. Even the air conditioning lines you wer so concerned about have plenty of clearance. No trimming at all was necessary on an of the Window Bubbles. Photos of the installation are enclosed. I don’t know how many mor…
Charlie H.MIYour window well bubbles are a complete success and an absolute delight…I want to spell out how good I think your product, design, service, and materials are…You paid attention to my order…the workmanship is first class…all my wells are dry and clean and you have one enthusiastic, appreciative customer. Your price is right, too.
Michael S.NJThe Window Bubble you built for us is absolutely perfect, and we thank you very much for your additional comments and suggestions. You were very helpful.
Nicole S.KSI have used your acrylic window wells in two home I have owned over the years, with great satisfaction. I have accumulated several mounting kits, which I have not needed to use, and am returning them for re-cycling (rather than simply throwing them out)
Dr. Peter Y.MAThe craftsmen at Dilworth Manufacturing Co. are true professionals. They know their business, they are competent and efficient, easy to deal with and deliver high quality products, all at a reasonable price. I recommend them without qualification.
Herb D.PAJust recently I purchased two of your basement window well bubbles (model SC 4410) for my home. I would first of all like to tell you just how impressed I am with the quality and workmanship of your product. I have been looking for just this very type of cover for many years, and it wasn’t until just recently that I came across your line in a local lumber yard. At last I have a window well cover that will actually do its job and hold up beyond one season.

Egress Window Well Covers
Home / Egress Window Well Covers
When we hear the word Egress, we either do not know the definition of Egress or we think of a means to exit. Basement Window Wells can be a form of Egress depending on their size and accessibility.
Egress Window Wells come in All Sizes and Shapes.
Some manufacturers of Egress Wells will make them of galvanized metal, concrete, plastic or the D-I-Y may use treated lumber. Dilworth Mfg. Co., makers of the Window Bubble, basement window well covers, will work with the homeowner who may have a pre-made well which did not come with a cover or may not be able to be covered with a stock unit because of the window being above the well opening or other situation.
Here are a few examples of the Egress Window Well Covers we have designed for our clients:
Your code authority may have authored its own rules or it may be among the more than 90 percent of communities in the United States that adopt the standards of the International Code Council (ICC). The council is a nonprofit organization that publishes new editions of the codes every three years and, in interim years, produces a supplement. The ICC’s 2006 International Residential Code for One- and Two-Story Dwellings has new language stating that basements that contain one or more sleeping rooms are required to have emergency egress and rescue openings in each sleeping room. Emergency exit and rescue openings are not required in adjoining areas of the basement, according to the code.
The code will require not only a certain size window, but also a window well opening a minimum of 36” away from the wall, with a minimum of 9 square feet total floor area (basically 3 feet by 3 feet). While you may feel that as long as you can climb through the opening that it is an egress opening, however, by code it may not be. It’s not just about the homeowner but also about the firefighter or rescue worker carrying gear and wearing an oxygen backpack who has to get through that opening to drag you out in case you are unconscious from a fire or other emergency.” It’s also about anyone who will own the home after you and may use that basement space.
It will be important for you, as the homeowner to determine the code in your municipality. Our covers are designed to be in compliance with the IBC (International Building Code) regarding covers for Egress wells.
We do not make wells or ladders, but can supply custom covers for most applications.
