MEASUREMENT GUIDE

How to Measure Your Window Well for a Custom Cover

Three measurements and a few clear photos give us a useful starting point. You do not need to choose a cover shape before sharing the details.

Start With A, B and C

Measure the actual well, not just the basement window. Note the unit you used, such as inches or centimetres, and tell us if an edge curves or tapers.

AWidth, side to side, where the well meets the house wall.
BProjection, from the house wall to the outside edge of the well.
CWell height, from the bottom of the well to its top edge.

These are starting dimensions for an estimate. Final cover sizing may need additional measurements after the shape and mounting surface are reviewed.

Diagram of a window well: A marks width at the wall, B marks projection to the outside edge, and C marks height from the bottom of the well to its top edge.
Use the diagram to label the measurements in your estimate request.

DETAILS THAT CHANGE THE FIT

What to Show in Your Photos

Well shape

Show whether the outer edge is straight, rounded, angled or irregular. A top-down photo helps us see the outline.

Wall and trim

Include brick, siding, stone, vents, pipes, window trim or other features near the mounting area.

Space around the well

Show nearby steps, railings, walkways and landscaping that might affect projection or opening clearance.

EGRESS WINDOWS

Tell Us if the Window Is an Emergency Exit

An egress window needs room to open, and a cover must be considered with the complete window and well arrangement. Include a photo showing how the window swings and explain any clearance or inside-release needs. Requirements vary by location and installation; confirm compliance with your local authority.

Window Well Covers can review whether a hinged or specially designed Atrium (Dome) style cover is suitable for the particular well.
