Basement
Door
When building a new home plan to include an exterior
staircase and entry doors to the basement. The typical
basement foundation is nine-feet deep, so stairs are
a necessity. 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 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
clear out around the foundation and cut through the existing
foundation wall. Whether it is a new construction or
an old house where you want to install the door, the
door unit is 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 caulking
for a tight seal. Is the door is steel give 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.
