About Wellcraft Egress Windows
Let there be Light
Our windows are designed not only to allow for easy access in case of emergency but also to provide an attractive decorative accent to any basement. All of our windows feature an all vinyl, maintenance-free frame, which does not require any painting and will not rust. The sash is removable for easy cleaning or to pass material through the opening. All of the windows are poly-wrapped before pour to prevent any concrete from getting on the window.

FAQs
- The right Wellcraft window well depends on the width of your basement window:
- 2062 Single Unit – Best for 3-foot-wide casement windows. Ideal for smaller rooms like bedrooms or home theaters where less light is needed.
- 2060 Single Unit – Designed for egress windows up to 4 feet wide. An optional 12” extension increases the height to 72”, perfect for deeper installs.
- 5600 Modular – Accommodates windows up to 4 feet wide with adjustable height (up to 76-7/8") using stackable sections. Great for custom-depth applications.
- 6700 Modular – Built for larger windows up to 5 feet wide, with six terraced steps for safe egress and a wider, deeper profile for more natural light.
Wellcraft Egress Systems offer a smart solution that enhances both safety and livability in basement spaces. Designed to provide easy access in emergencies, these systems make it simple for homeowners to get out—and for first responders to get in. But safety doesn’t come at the cost of aesthetics—Wellcraft wells and covers also bring in natural light and fresh air, making below-grade rooms feel brighter and more welcoming. With a range of styles and sizes to fit your space, plus durable covers to keep out debris and weather, Wellcraft delivers peace of mind with a clean, finished look that’s built to last.
- Wellcraft offers both single-unit and modular window wells to meet different project needs:
- Single-unit wells like the 2060 and 2062 come in one pre-molded piece, offering a clean appearance, fast installation, and fewer components to manage. They're ideal for straightforward installs where the depth and access are manageable.
- Modular wells like the 5600 and 6700 come in interlocking sections, making them easy to transport and assemble on-site. They’re perfect for projects with limited access, deeper egress requirements, or when more customization is needed.
