Plenty of daylight for a basement living room full of well-being and sun rays. The two mirror shafts direct daylight far into the room and, depending on the position of the sun, create plays of light in the room. Instead of basement shaft wall, you look directly into the sky - and that from basement ! Outside on the first floor, the walk-in light well cover integrates into the terrace without thresholds. The fresh air supply is further ensured via ventilation slots and the armored glass is provided with a strip-shaped slip resistance. The slip resistance is one of numerous optionswhich allow to equip the Mirror Shaft according to individual wishes.

Thanks to sufficient daylight, the Nonnenbach school kindergarten can now also use the basement as a fully-fledged playroom. Five mirror shafts from Heliobus direct the daylight into the basement. The number of children at the Nonnenbach school in Kressbronn has been rising steadily for a few years. For this reason, another movement room and a small group room have been installed in the basement. Inside, the mirror shafts bring in daylight and sunlight; outside, the accessible light well covers of the mirror shafts blend harmoniously into the surroundings.
