FAQ
Can I cut the SafetyWell window well cover to fit my widow well?
Answer: Yes. All SafetyWell window well covers can be cut to the profile of your window well using a jigsaw equipped with an aluminum cutting blade. Simply mask off the profile of the well using typical 1" masking tape to the outside of the well and cut along the masking tape. This will result in leaving the recomended overhang around the perimeter of the well for water runoff.Does the cover attach to the house?
Answer: No. The cover is neither hinged or attached to the house. It is only connected to the window well using either well clips or our patented "Saf-T Lock" locking system. Rear supports are included in the hardware for the rear angle to set on.
