Egress Basement Window in Northeastern Wisconsin

Sure-Dry Basement Systems uses 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.

SCAPWEL is much safer than corrugated metal wells because of its built-in terraced exit. While aesthetically pleasing, the terraced steps are more importantly designed to provide emergency egress.
