Des Plaines Window Well Cover FAQ
Do clear polycarbonate window well covers really hold weight?
Yes — our clear polycarbonate covers are built for strength and can support up to 800 lbs, making them a great safety option for kids, pets, and foot traffic around window wells.
When do I need a vertical extension?
A vertical extension is recommended when the basement window sits higher above the window well or opens outward. It provides extra clearance so the cover won’t interfere with window operation.
Do you offer metal grate window well covers?
Yes — we offer powder-coated metal grates as an optional upgrade for customers who prefer a ventilated heavy-duty look. We’ll help you choose the best option for your well and needs.
Do I need to be home for installation?
Most installs and estimates are completed from the outside, so usually no one needs to be home. If you prefer to be present, we can schedule a specific time window.
