Frequently Asked Questions

At Tuff Fabrication, our focus is on delivering two core products with unmatched quality: custom metal brackets and durable window well covers. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions to ensure you have the information you need about our specialized products.

Window Well Grates

What types of window well covers does Tuff Fabrication offer?

We specialize in custom-fabricated metal window well grates. Our products are made with heavy-duty metal, providing superior security, durability, and load-bearing capacity compared to standard plastic or thin-gauge metal alternatives. Every cover is custom-sized to perfectly fit your specific window well dimensions.

Why choose a metal window well cover over a standard plastic one?

Our metal covers offer several key advantages:

Safety & Security: They are robust enough to prevent falls and deter intruders.
Durability: Unlike plastic, our metal covers won’t yellow, crack, or degrade under harsh sunlight or extreme weather conditions.
Custom Fit: They provide a precise, secure fit that generic covers cannot match.
Load-Bearing: Our window well grates are designed to support significant weight, ensuring safety around your foundation.

Are the window well covers lockable or accessible for emergency egress?

We design our window well covers with security and safety in mind. Depending on your local building codes and specific needs, we can incorporate features that allow for easy emergency exit from inside the well while maintaining security against external intrusion. Please specify your requirements during the consultation.
