A lightweight and durable window well is composed of a long fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFRT). The lightweight and durable window well has at least some fibers that are omnidirectional relative to the other fibers in the thermoplastic. Additionally, at least some fibers of the LFRT have a length greater than 40 mm. The window well also has a body having a plurality of ribs interposed between a plurality of wall surface portions. Additionally, each rib is positioned between two different wall surface portions and is defined by a variable height and a variable depth. Furthermore, the wall surface portions have a variable thickness that varies from a minimal thickness of less than 3 mm to a maximum thickness of greater than 5 mm, with the wall surface being thicker near the ribs than at portions furthest from the ribs in the wall surface.

Disclosed is a window well mounting system having a non-conductive bracket and a non-conductive seal that helps prevent premature oxidation of window wells. The non-conductive bracket and the non-conductive seal insulate conductive elements to stop the flow of electricity to the window well.

A window well is disclosed. The window well has a curved wall that has an inner wall section, an upper wall section, and a base. The upper wall section is unitary with the inner wall section. The curved wall includes an outer wall section unitary with the upper wall section. Between the inner and outer wall sections is an air space. The curved wall further includes at two horizontally oriented members or footholds that are unitary with, and that extend inwardly toward the center of curvature of, the curved wall, and which are spaced above the base. Each foothold includes a spaced-apart pair of handholds dimensioned, configured, and oriented to enable a user to extend an adult palm through, to securely grasp the handholds.

A system for integrated water management of a basement is disclosed. The basement has a footer, a wall extending upward from the footer, and a sill plate on top of the wall. The system may include a sill plate barrier with a base located between the sill plate and the wall. The system may include a vertical barrier coupled to the sill plate barrier and extending downward along an exterior of the wall toward the footer. In addition, the system may have a footer barrier coupled to the vertical barrier and extending over an exterior of the footer. The system may include a drain member adjacent the exterior of the footer and coupled to the footer barrier. In one version, the sill plate barrier, vertical barrier, footer barrier and drain member collectively form the integrated water management system for the exterior of the basement to prevent water intrusion.

The present disclosure relates to a resilient and multipurpose window well installation. The installation comprises numerous different features and optional additional attachments and functionalities. In one embodiment, the installation can increase the amount of light entering into a basement window. In an alternative embodiment, the installation can also protect from influx of flood water through the basement window.
