Q. How do you ship the window wells? A. The majority of our wells will ship via Common Carrier, i.e., “Old Dominion Freight Lines”. Shipping costs will vary on quantity ordered and what type of address they will be shipped to: Residential or commercial.
Q. Does Residential Delivery cost more than Commercial Delivery? A. Residential Delivery costs more due to a lack of loading/unloading facilities.
Q. What is considered a “Commercial” address? A. An address is only considered “Commercial” if there is a loading dock.
Q. Can you ship these items through UPS? A. Yes. Although very few of our products meet UPS size requirements, we strive to find the most cost effective means to ship all orders.
Q. Do you except credit cards over the phone? A. We accept all major credit cards; However, we also except "checks" or "money orders" but we cannot ship the item until checks have cleared; Therefore prolonging the lead time on the items.
Q. What are you sizing recommendations? A. After checking for egress compliance we recommend to size the window wells width to have a 3" overlap on both sides of the masonry opening. Window buck mount require actual hole to hole measurements. Vertical height is determined by the finished grade allowing for suitable slope away from the foundation for water management. Please order enough areawall height to have 10-12" below your windowsill and 2" above your finished grade.
Q. How do I install a window well? A. The areawall should extend beyond the window rough opening by 3” both sides. Some building codes may require additional clearance. The top of the Window Wells should extend approximately 2” above the established grade line and down at least 12” below the windowsill. If in doubt, go with a higher wall since extensions are difficult to attach. Fill the space below the window well with select gravel for drainage. Flanges should be attached to the foundation wall at sufficient points (12” centers minimum) to assure structural stability. Use masonry nails, self-drilling anchors or other approved fasteners. Select backfill material should be used, such as granular with some clay that is free of large rock and earth clods and should not be frozen material, sod, cinders or other active soils. The load carrying capacity of the Window Wells is largely dependent upon proper backfill procedure. The fill should be placed evenly around the areawall in 12” layers using ordinary compaction making sure the shape is not distorted. On larger sizes a 90 % density factor may be desirable. Compacted fill around the outside of the areawall should be at least 12”, or one-half of areawall projection. We recommend supporting the areawall inside face during the backfilling procedure. Supports should be left in place until construction activity ceases. On larger and deeper Window Wells, care should be used in selecting the grade and style |
