| Basement Maintenance and Egress Safety Basement window
covers protect basements from water damage and debris and are an
important part of basement maintenance. Windowbubble.com
manufactures custom basement window covers which are guaranteed
to protect window wells and adhere to egress safety standards.
Basement maintenance is critical for the protection and preservation of home. Preventing water damage can save a home and its belongings from serious destruction. In addition to a homeowner checking gutters, downspouts, grading, and cracks on the walls and floors of a basement, basement window wells should be maintained and protected. Basement window wells can collect water causing leaks into a basement. Normal rainfall may not cause much of a problem, but the occasional heavy rain or snow and ice melt can be a major house crisis. Basements can be kept dry by preventing rain or snow from leaking through basement window wells with properly fitted, custom basement window covers. They also prevent accidents from falls into the basement window well by animals or even children. Basement window covers also insulate, protect from debris, and let in natural sunlight. The basement egress, or exit, has safety codes that must be adhered to when fitting a home for a basement window cover. Basement egress is the ability for occupants to escape from the basement by a means other than the interior stairway. If the basement room is used for sleeping, it must have a clear opening in case of the need for emergency escape. It will also allow for emergency crews to enter the basement easily. It is required by law that egress safety must meet the IRC (International Residential Code) 2000. Clear dimensions are stated for the egress, and the basement window cover must be easily opened without the need for special tools. Having a basement window cover custom fit protects and insulates a home and its occupants, and it will not collapse under heavy snow or debris. Custom covers can also accommodate for pipes, wires or vents that may already be in place in a basement window, and will meet the important safety codes. Non-custom or standard basement window covers may not be strong or protective enough to work effectively. Window Bubble provides custom made window well covers that have a lifetime guarantee. They are made of 3/16" Plexiglas® acrylic plastic, and defend homes from the elements, and prevent falls from above. Basement window covers from windowbubble.com adhere to all egress safety standards. Bio: Grace Enderlein is a freelance writer and editor.
