Which Metal Window Well Cover is Best For My Home? – Protecting the basement window wells in your home is a smart idea. Leaving a window well uncovered can lead to unwanted problems, including flooding, moisture seeping into your home’s foundation, cracking the home’s foundation, and even mold problems.

When choosing a metal window well cover for your home, there are a few things you’ll need to know before making the decision:

What are the measurements of the window well?
How high does the basement window sit above the ground level?
Is this window well also used as an egress?
What is the shape of the window well?
