For over 20 years, Art Metal Workshop has been Toronto’s trusted expert in custom metal window well grates and covers. Designed for both safety and style, our grates protect your basement windows from debris, animals, and accidental falls — all while enhancing your property’s appearance and security.
Each grate is custom-built in our Etobicoke workshop using durable steel or wrought iron, powder-coated for maximum weather resistance. Whether you’re looking for a decorative design, load-bearing safety grate, or a modern, low-profile cover, Art Metal delivers exceptional craftsmanship that lasts.
Prevent accidents and injuries by covering exposed basement wells with strong, load-bearing metal grates. These covers are especially valuable for homes with children, pets, or frequent visitors.
Our grates prevent leaves, snow, and unwanted animals from entering your window wells — keeping your basement dry, clean, and secure year-round.
Made from galvanized steel or wrought iron, Art Metal’s window well grates are rust-resistant, weatherproof, and require minimal upkeep.
Choose from a variety of decorative patterns, flat or domed shapes, and custom finishes that complement your home’s exterior. Each piece is tailored to your exact well dimensions and architectural style.
