The basement can serve not only as a storage room for preserves, a boiler room or a drying room. The rooms located there will work great as a workshop, an additional kitchen or even a room. However, for this to be possible, it is necessary to properly light the interior and provide constant access to fresh air.

How to ensure hygiene in the basement?
However, the specificity of basement windows often proves to be an obstacle to this. Their location just above ground level – and sometimes even below it – makes it difficult to provide the basement with the required amount of light. In turn, their small size can make the rooms stuffy, and their users have problems with effective ventilation. The solution to both of these problems can be basement light wells.
A basement light well is a special lighting solution. It is used to provide natural light to rooms located below ground level. Not only do they improve visibility in dark basement rooms, but they also make their ventilation much more effective. In many cases, it is also important that they also protect the window from groundwater and rainwater.
Basement light wells can be used in various types of buildings. They are mounted using special mounting kits that can be easily adapted to the type of facade.
