ᐅ Connection of window wells to basement wall

Hello,

I recently noticed that the insulation is visible at the joint between the light wells and the basement wall made of waterproof concrete (WU concrete). Is this standard practice, or could it be considered a defect? I would appreciate any advice.

Best regards,
S

We are using pressure-resistant shafts, which are installed directly against the wall, and then the insulation is applied. Do you have just waterproof concrete (WU), or also the pressure-resistant shafts? As far as I know, "standard" shafts can also be installed on top of the insulation.

To my knowledge, these should be water pressure-resistant light shafts.

The images are not entirely clear to me: I don’t see any light wells; instead, it looks like there are white panels in front of the windows (?).

The dark yellow area is probably the insulation layer, whose joint edges are also acting as the reveals?

The fact that these joint edges appear as "open wounds" does not seem correct to me from a technical standpoint.

However, I’m afraid that understanding the situation and interpreting the images here might have to be connected with "or" :-(
