Step 1: Measuring Your Window Well for a Perfect Feldhawk Fit
Before diving into the world of Feldhawk Metal Window Well Covers, the first crucial step is determining the exact dimensions of your window well. Here's what you'll need:
Measuring Tape: A trusty measuring tape is essential for this task.
Two Measurements: You'll need to record two key measurements: width and depth.
- Width: Measure the widest point of your window well from one end to the other.
- Depth: Measure the vertical distance from the top edge of the window well (where the cover will sit) to the bottom (ie to the foundation of the home).
Selecting the Right Size Feldhawk Cover
Once you have your measurements, use them as a benchmark to select your Feldhawk Metal Window Well Cover. Here's a guiding principle:
- Exact Match or Round Up: Ideally, choose a cover that closely matches the dimensions of your window well. However, if a perfect match isn't available, it's better to round up to the next closest size.
- Note: The aesthetic and shape differ from size to size (ie some designs have center spacers, others do not. Some measure at a 26" depth vs the pictured 38" depth. Etc) inherently changing the overall look of the cover. If your size is not depicted in the image carousel, feel free to reach out to us! We'll send you an image specific to your exact size.
- Note: this process works for most window wells. If you're unsure if our sizes will fit your well, request a sizing diagram on the size you think best matches your dimenions. If additional spacers are required to fit, they are available for purchase upon request.
Why Round Up? The Power of Overlap with Feldhawk Covers
A slight overlap between your Feldhawk window well cover and the well itself is not only acceptable but often beneficial. An overlap of up to 3-4 inches can provide several advantages:
- Enhanced Security: A slight overhang creates a more secure barrier, deterring entry from unwanted guests (both human and animal).
- Improved Light Blockage: A small overlap can offer additional protection against unwanted light filtering into your basement during the day.
- Reduced Debris Infiltration: A well-placed overhang can help prevent windblown debris from accumulating around the edges of the cover.
The Compelling Benefits of Feldhawk Metal Window Well Covers
Now that you understand how to size your Feldhawk Metal Window Well Cover, let's delve into the numerous benefits these innovative products offer:
Benefit #1: Reduced Debris Buildup in Your Basement
Window wells, by their very nature, act like magnets for leaves, twigs, and other debris blown by the wind. This organic clutter can not only create an unsightly mess but also potentially clog window well drainage systems. Feldhawk Metal Window Well Covers act as a protective barrier, significantly reducing the amount of debris that accumulates in your window well. This translates to less time spent cleaning and maintaining your basement area.
Benefit #2: Unmatched Strength and Durability for Peace of Mind
Peace of mind is paramount when it comes to your basement windows. Feldhawk Metal Window Well Covers, typically constructed from heavy-duty mesh steel and a robust 9 GA steel frame, can withstand significant weight. This translates to superior safety, as they can hold up to 400 lbs of shear weight. This exceptional strength helps ensure the safety of anyone walking near the window well, including children and pets.
Benefit #3: Light-Diffusing Mesh Design for a Bright Basement
While Feldhawk Metal Window Well Covers provide a secure barrier, they are not designed to block out all light. The strategic use of mesh steel allows natural light to filter through, preventing your basement from becoming a dark and dreary space. This innovative design ensures that even with a window well cover in place, your basement continues to benefit from the mood-boosting and energy-saving power of natural light.
