Key Functions of Window Wells:
-
Natural Light and Ventilation: By clearing the area around basement windows, window wells enable sunlight to illuminate otherwise dark basements, enhancing the living space’s ambiance.
-
Emergency Egress: Larger window wells, known as egress window wells, are designed to provide a safe exit from the basement in case of emergencies.
-
Water Drainage: Properly installed window wells help prevent water accumulation around basement windows, directing rainwater away from the foundation and reducing the risk of leaks or flooding.
-
Protection: They shield basement windows from physical damage caused by debris or lawn equipment and can prevent dirt and debris from entering the basement.
