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.
