Step Window Well Installation Instructions

Properly prepared, a well site is over-cut 4”- 6” This will leave sufficient area to be “back filled” with clean ¾” stone after the installation is complete. Before installing the first well section, put 4” of clean ¾” stone below the window.

Mark the wall for U-channels according to the width of the window well. Make sure it is evenly spaced with the window in the center. Using Tapcon™ screws, attach first U-channel at desired height with top of channel 4” above final grade. Make sure it is plumb before attaching.

Level accross to find position of second U-channel height. Check for plumb. Attach to wall. Using a silicone caulking, place a bead of caulking along side of U-channel at the wall.

3

On a clean flat surface, assemble the well sections by sliding the sidewall onto the front wall as shown. Note that the inside of the front wall has a decal at the bottom and with units over 48” wide there are screws stabilzing the assembly on the back of the panel.

* Steel included over 42” front width.

Set well upside down onto the sidewalls and secure corner connector using pilot holes and supplied #14 ¾” white screws. Note: Keep sidewalls and front panel flush in the corner connector channel before securing with screws.

Carefully transfer the assembled well section to the mounting channel and slide it into place to arrow in channel. Drive in top screws.

Repeat steps 5, 6, 7, and 9 to assemble the next course, and then position and secure it. Use a bead of caulking between each course.

Connect the new course with the previous course by driving screws through the tab into the panel, as shown.

9

Before back filling, each section should be braced both in the corners and in the center. Clean stone provides the least pressure on the walls. Even though the walls are reinforced with a galvanized steel channel, care should be used in back filling to avoid causing distortion.

After back filling is complete, the final grade can be finished by sloping the surface material away from the edges of the well.

An average window well will require three courses to complete.

Cover Assembly Instructions

Remove assembled side panels from package.

Slide H channel into side panel (short ears). Insert side panel into back plate. The nose should be flush with the front outside wall of the well.

With side panels mounted, center header allowing approximately 3/4” overhang on each side, and secure with 2 3” SS screws at each end. Use the white plugs to conceal the holes.

With the rear mounting plate centered over the well side and flush to the outside building wall secure with 2 Tapcons (3/16 x 1-3/4) while ensuring that the plate remains plumb.

Secure panel to wall plate with 6 #10 x 3/4” white screws. Secure panel to well with 6 #8 x 1” white screws through long ears of H channel and 6 #8 x 1” white screws through short ears of H channel.

Brace the glass cap up to the header with the hinges facing up at the top. With the glass cap flush with the header edge, screw the hinge plate to the header with the black 1-1/2” screws.

Place H channel over well wall (long ears). This channel should fit between wall plate and corner connector. Remove. Trim if necessary.
