Lightwell Cover

Light and good ventilation are also important for basement rooms. This allows natural daylight and sufficient air to enter the basement through the basement window. Many people have the washing machine and other appliances in the basement. That is why it is even more important that the basement is sufficiently ventilated. 

The conventional grating does not protect against insects, small animals and dirt. Spiders and frogs make themselves at home in the cellar shaft and could get into your own four walls through open cellar windows. In addition, a dirty cellar well can lead to problems. If there is too much dirt in the light well, the drainage can become blocked. Then the rainwater can no longer drain away properly. It is therefore essential to protect your light wells from environmental influences. The best protection for this is a high-quality light well cover.

An effective cellar shaft cover must therefore be permeable to air and light and at the same time protect against dirt and insects. Our light well covers offer good air circulation and effective protection at the same time. You can open the cellar windows without hesitation with an insect screen for light wells. This way, light and air continue to come in, while animals and dirt stay out.

The high-quality grating covers are weatherproof and rust-free. Special types of mesh made of aluminium or stainless steel are used for this purpose. By the way, you can not only protect and secure your cellar windows with a light well cover. You can also mount your insect screen on exhaust air systems or air conditioning shafts. In this way, you can protect smaller and inconspicuous entry gates from insects and other vermin.

Are you looking for a solution to protect your basement shaft from insects and dirt? We have the right solutions for you.

You can easily attach the tesa® light well covers. With little effort and in a short time, you can install your high-quality insect screen on the light well. You can attach the insect screen directly to the grating using the clamps supplied. You do not need any special accessories.

Install the insect screen on the light well in just 2 steps:

1. If necessary, cut the insect screen to the dimensions of the grating.
2. Clamp the appropriate insect screen to the grating

You can easily remove the light well cover at any time.

We recommend that you clean your light well before installation. You can remove leaves and coarse dirt by hand. You can then use a hand broom to sweep up cobwebs and smaller debris. If you want to clean your cellar well particularly thoroughly, you can then wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. Pay attention to the material instructions for the surfaces.

An unsecured lightwell cover is the ideal entryway for insects and small animals. Insects, spiders, mice, and frogs are curious and frequently become unwanted guests in basements. Or they face a fate as involuntary as imprisonment in basement wells. Should animal and human meet, it’ll surely be a huge surprise to the human and generally lead to instant counter-measures. Save yourself this work by installing a lightwell cover. Due to its narrow-mesh grid made of aluminum or stainless steel, intruders stay where they belong, and that’s outside your home.

A light well cover protects against dirt

Insects and other small animals actively try to enter the warm home through basement windows and light wells. However, a cellar shaft cover not only protects you from creatures. The insect screen for light wells also protects you from dirt and grime. Leaves and stones often end up in the cellar well. If you are not careful, the entire cellar shaft can quickly become dirty and filthy. 

With a high-quality cover for your light well, you reliably protect yourself from dirt, leaves and grime. This saves you the hassle of cleaning and instead you can enjoy clean light wells and peace and quiet.
