Basement Door
Basement Door If you’re building a new home, you should consider planning to include an exterior staircase and entry doors to the basement. Due to the fact that the typical basement foundation is nine-feet deep, stairs are usually a necessity. Selecting the Right Stairs and Basement Door The most cost effective stair building solution is to purchase pre-made stringers to support the stairs. The steel supports or stringers are placed within the areaway foundation and then bolted to the foundation walls and floor. When the door installation is finished, wooden stair treads are cut and placed in these stringers. Another option is a pre-cast concrete stairway sized to fit the steel door unit. To install doors for existing homes, clean out the area around the foundation and cut through the existing foundation wall. Whether it is a new construction or you’re remodeling an old house, once you decide where you want to install the door, the door unit is then assembled on site and installed on top of the foundation wall. The installation of the door unit entails bolting the doorframe into the concrete and finally caulking for a tight seal. If the door is steel, give it a coat of metal enamel to improve the look and life of your door. Always get the advice of a qualified, experienced and professional foundation contractor if you have questions or concerns.
