Highwood Window Well Cover FAQ
Do clear or frosted polycarbonate window well covers really hold weight?
Yes — our polycarbonate covers (clear or frosted) 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.
What are the benefits of a frosted window well cover?
Frosted covers provide a cleaner “privacy look” while still letting light through. They also help hide debris under the cover while keeping the well protected from water, snow, and pests.
When do I need an extension riser?
An extension riser is recommended when the basement window sits higher above the window well or opens outward. The riser provides extra clearance so the cover won’t interfere with window operation.
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.
