Standard protection that keeps window wells safer year-round

Window wells can become hidden hazards during Utah’s fall and winter months, especially when leaves, snow, and debris block visibility. Standard window well grates provide an attractive, economical way to cover the opening, reduce accident risk, and add peace of mind. They also help deter break-ins by limiting access to basement windows that might otherwise go unnoticed.

We include everything you need with our standard window well grate service

Standard grate sizing and fit

We help you choose the right grate size and pattern to fit your window well properly, creating safer coverage with a clean, finished look.

Safety-first coverage

Standard window well grates cover the opening to help prevent accidental falls, especially when snow, leaves, or debris make window wells hard to spot.

Added security for basement windows

Grates help reduce the risk of easy access through basement windows by limiting entry points and improving safety around out-of-sight window wells.

Durable, rust-resistant design

Standard window well grates resist rust, hold up through seasonal weather, and maintain their appearance with minimal upkeep.

Easy access and simple cleaning

Unlike clear covers, grates allow airflow and easy access to the well for quick cleanouts, with no worry about heavy snow or ice building up on top.

  I had Windowell Expressions install window well covers at my home over 9 years ago. Last week,  I needed some repairs due to the chains coming loose.  Jaren arrived and fixed each window well.  He told me that the service was covered under their warrantee!  I couldn't believe it and certainly didn't expect this!  Jaren was professional, and made sure that I could easily release the cotter pins inside of the window wells in case emergency exit was required.  The covers and insides of the wells are still in great shape and protect my dogs from accidently falling in and also keep out roving rats!  The workmanship holds up.  I highly recommend Windowell Expressions and Jaren for your window covering needs.

  They did a very professional job on our 5 window wells. One of our window wells was difficult to get it to look right. Jaren came back twice and spent a lot time and effort to make it exactly the way we wanted. We are glad we used this company and highly recommend them.

  We just had 2 clear window well covers installed by this company, they look great and give us much needed protection to our basement windows now.  Nice job!  Good communication!  It’s nice to have the peace of mind that my young kids won’t accidentally fall down the wells now. I recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional company with great customer service and great products. Thank you, Jeremy G.

  Our ugly windowells now look great!!  Windowell Expressions has been great to work with—Jarin was here to give us a bid when he said he’d be, and the installers were here on time and did a fantastic job in a very timely manner. We had a neighbor who was interested in getting liners for their windowells and the installers took the time after finishing our project to go measure their windows.  We would highly recommend this company if you’re looking to beautify those ugly windowells!

FAQ

What is the difference between standard window well grates and clear covers?

Standard grates provide strong, open coverage that allows airflow and light while reducing fall risk and improving security. Clear covers offer full enclosure and debris blocking, but they can collect snow and require more frequent top clearing in winter.

Do window well grates block natural light?

No. Standard grates allow plenty of natural light to pass through, making them a popular option for window wells near kitchens, living spaces, and finished basements.

Are window well grates secure enough to help deter break-ins?

Yes. Grates can significantly reduce access to basement windows when properly installed. For added security, we can recommend locking options based on your setup.

Do grates require maintenance in winter?

Grates are low maintenance, but you should still keep the area clear of heavy snow and remove debris so the well can drain properly. Routine window well maintenance helps any cover option perform better.

Can I choose a mesh grate instead of a standard grate?

Yes. Mesh grates use smaller openings to help block larger debris, which is especially helpful for homes near mature trees. We can help you decide which style fits your needs.
