Custom-made light well cover

Protection against leaves, dirt and insects

Fresh air and light – that’s exactly what light wells provide for basements and lower parts of buildings. A light well cover is used to ensure that neither insects nor small animals, dirt, or leaves enter the basement through the light well. KADECO reliably protects your light wells with custom-made light well covers. Sturdy stainless-steel mesh and high-quality aluminum profiles guarantee high stability and durability.

Insect protection for light wells and basements

The use of basements is very versatile: as a storage place for food, additional storage space, or even as living space. To make the best possible use of basement rooms, they are often equipped with light wells. To ensure that these let in only light and air, light well covers are the ideal choice.

This way, neither coarse dirt and leaves nor insects and rodents can enter the light well. KADECO light well covers are made of a dense, stable stainless steel mesh from 0.5 mm thick V2A steel, which provides long-lasting protection for the light wells.

Optimal protection thanks to high-quality stainless steel mesh

KADECO custom-made light well covers use a highly stable stainless steel mesh made of 0.5 mm thick V2A steel. This material is rust- and corrosion-free, making it particularly durable and weather-resistant.

In addition, the covers are fitted with frames made of anodized aluminum. Anodizing means that the aluminum surface undergoes an electrolytic oxidation process, creating an extra rust-resistant and scratch-proof protective layer. The high-quality workmanship of both the materials and the flat frame ensures that the light well cover meets the highest standards.

Installation of custom-made light well covers

To ensure that the light well cover fits your light well perfectly, all KADECO light well covers are custom-made by hand. Installation is carried out using rubber tape or, optionally, with clamping screws and brush seals.

This ensures a tight fit and also prevents insects from entering from the sides. Your local KADECO specialist retailer will provide you with personal and professional advice on choosing the right light well cover and the appropriate installation method.

Frequently Asked Questions about Light Well Covers

Do you still have questions about our light well covers or the topic in general? Then you will find the answers here:

Why is a light well cover important?

A light well cover protects light wells and basement windows from dirt and unwanted intruders such as insects or mice. Thanks to the high-quality construction of the dense stainless steel mesh and flush-fitting aluminum profiles, neither insects, rodents, nor debris can enter the air shaft.

Are light well covers weather-resistant?

Since a light well cover is permanently exposed to wind and weather, it must be made of stable and weatherproof materials. For this purpose, we use corrosion-free, high-strength V2A stainless steel for the mesh and rust-free, scratch-resistant aluminum profiles for the edges and frame of the cover.

Are light well covers suitable for all light wells?

Our light well covers are suitable for both standard light wells and light wells with an arched window. If a corresponding substructure is in place, our light well covers are even walkable.

How is a light well cover operated?

A light well cover provides permanent protection. It is therefore not intended to be opened or closed, but to be installed flush and securely. This way, no gaps are left through which small rodents, spiders, or insects could enter the house. Especially in autumn, when small animals seek shelter in basements for winter, a light well cover offers optimal protection for hobby rooms, guest rooms, or storage areas in the basement.
