It looks simple but sometimes window well covers can be a little complicated. How so? Well Feldhawk has the answers! One thing that can complicate the process of installing high quality window well covers can be the window well itself. Not all wells are the same, in fact usually no two on the house are usually the same. This makes it a bit more complicated than just throwing on two of the same sized window well grates. Before we jump into the details of how window well covers work, let's talk about what factors FeldHawk works with on a daily basis and how we've overcome them with our designs.
Window Well Shapes
As we mentioned above not all window wells are shaped the same. Why would that be? Why would your home builder install two different shapes of wells on the same house?
