  We use ScapeWEL® safety egress window
components from Bilco® Manufacturing to provide customers with increased
and improved living space.
Standard window wells block the flow of incoming light and can leave
basements dark and uninviting. With ScapeWEL®, window wells become
code-compliant safety escape routes and the basement area is opened up for
additional living space. Not only will you increase the value of your home, but
you'll get added selling features and more saleable square footage. Best of all,
the ScapeWEL® window well system is a cost-efficient alternative to other
window well methods.
ScapeWEL® is made of high density , blow molded polyethylene, the same
durable material used for stadium seating and truck bed liners. It is filled
with rigid setting, closed cell polyurethane foam for added strength and
rigidity. It is termite proof and will never rust, dent, rot or chip like
existing systems made from corrugated metal, wood or concrete. The attractive
sandstone color is integral to the material, and UV stabilization further
enhances long life.

Our trained and experienced technicians use a water-cooled saw
and guide plate to accurately saw the access hole in the existing
wall. |
