Our business originated specializing in the remodeling
of residential homes. Over 20 years working as a
remodeling and building contractor, we came to the
inevitable conclusion that in numerous instances
the egress well escape windows with mounted covers
posed viable safety threat to the occupants on several
levels.
More specifically, children or the elderly
would invariably lack the ability to escape through
these areas largely because of the brute force required
in moving these covers or steel grates in the event
of an emergency. The fact of the matter is these
steel grates are simply much TOO HEAVY for the average
child, and for some senior citizens, to lift out
of the way in case of an emergency like a FIRE when
escaping out through the egress well. This was the
primary driving force in developing the products
we provide here at the Grate Escape�.
Other concerns outside of internal emergencies to
consider are those of an external nature. Its only
logical to conclude that children and pets could
conceivably FALL into those egress window wells
that aren't covered at all. These scenarios would
undoubtedly cause serious injuries.
Egress
safety in case of home emergencies or uncovered
egress window well accidents is of our utmost primary
concern. If we can save one child or citizen's life
with our patented product, the Grate Escape's�
mission and vision is accomplished!
Through
the years of working around homes which pose this
particular hazard to the residents, we decided to
dedicate our time and resources in finding the best
solution possible that would resolve all these potential
threats. The patented lifting device known as the
"Grate Escape� Lifter" provides
a safe opportunity for all to easily escape an emergency
from within your home. In addition to this device,
we offer a variety of "Grate Covers" that will fit
and adapt to any egress window well opening likely
to prevent possible accidents from outside your
home. These products provide a safe haven and peace
of mind for your home and your families!
