Light well, or wolfskuil; a practical solution for ventilation below ground level.
Basement wells are ventilation structures used when ventilation openings are located below ground level. A basement well allows air to enter or exit without the ventilation opening being blocked by soil, paving or vegetation. This ensures proper air circulation in spaces such as crawl spaces, basements and other underground structures.
Basement wells are widely used for crawl space ventilation and basement ventilation, but also for ventilation openings serving fireplaces, low-mounted heat pumps, kitchen extraction systems and other installations where ventilation below ground level is required.
Tilmar basement wells are manufactured as durable plastic well bodies with a completely open rear side. This allows the ventilation opening in the façade to be freely determined and optimally matched to the required ventilation capacity. Key advantages of basement wells include:
T174-A basement well
The T174-A is suitable for applications where ventilation must be provided deep below ground level. Thanks to its stackable design, the height can easily be adjusted to the required installation depth.
T174-B basement well
The T174-B has been developed for renovation projects and situations with limited space. This version is ideal when excavation work must be kept to a minimum or where foundations and pipework restrict the available installation depth.
T175 basement well
The T175 offers a larger free airflow area and is suitable for applications requiring a higher ventilation capacity, such as larger crawl spaces, basements or installations with higher airflow demands.
