ScapeWEL Window Wells add light, ventilation, and code-compliant emergency egress to basement areas, making them as warm, comfortable, and safe as any room in the home. | |
| 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 basement areas are opened up for additional living space. Not only will you increase the value of your home, but you'll get added selling features, frequent referrals, higher profits and more saleable square footage. Best of all, the ScapeWEL window well system is a cost-efficient alternative to other window well methods.
The easy to install component system simply snaps together on-site. With ScapeWEL, you'll complete the job efficiently and effectively with a modern design for any home. |
