Protecting light wells and basement windows

Made-to-measure solutions to limit the entry of insects, leaves, dirt and small animals; some models also offer increased protection against water.

Light wells bring in natural light and allow cellars and basement rooms to be ventilated. Without suitable protection, they can also let in insects, leaves, small animals and other debris.

Our light well protection systems are made to measure to fit the existing configuration. Depending on the model, they are fitted on the grating, replace it, or meet particular needs such as protection against rain.
