Enhance Home Safety this Spring with Bilco & Cleargress Doors

May 5, 2025

As the warmth of spring approaches, homeowners are often inspired to embark on home improvement projects that prioritize safety and functionality. For those looking to enhance the accessibility and security of their basements, installing Bilco and Cleargress doors with PermEntry stairs presents an optimal solution. Egress Systems Inc. specializes in providing customized basement entry solutions aimed at improving safety, aesthetics, and utility. Let’s explore why spring is the perfect season to consider these installations and how they can profoundly benefit your home.


Understanding PermEntry Stairs

At the heart of a secure, accessible basement entrance is the PermEntry stair system. These precast concrete stairs are a critical component of creating a safe exit and entry point. Available in seven different sizes, PermEntry stairs are built to meet specific technical specifications, ensuring robust and durable installation. Their weight ranges from 4,000 to 9,000 pounds, necessitating the use of a crane for precise placement. Once set, homeowners can choose between a metal Bilco door or a polycarbonate Cleargress door to complete their basement entryway. The choice between these doors often depends on the homeowner's specific needs and preferences.


Why Choose Bilco Doors?

Bilco doors are renowned for their robust metal construction, which offers exceptional durability and security. They are particularly beneficial for homeowners who frequently move large items or a significant number of smaller objects in and out of their basements. For example, if you store patio furniture in your basement during the winter or operate a business that requires regular access to basement storage for inventory purposes, a Bilco door provides the ample space and durability needed for easy transport. Installing a Bilco door can also improve convenience when maneuvering bulky items, thereby enhancing the overall functionality of your basement access.


The Benefits of Cleargress Doors

For homeowners who value natural light and aesthetic appeal, Cleargress doors present an excellent alternative. These polycarbonate doors are designed to flood natural light into your basement without necessitating the opening of the door itself. This feature is particularly advantageous for those who want to transform their basements into well-lit living areas or functional workspaces. The installation of a full light glass door at the base of the PermEntry stairs further maximizes sunlight exposure, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Cleargress doors are an ideal choice for homeowners aiming to blend functionality with enhanced home aesthetics.


Why Spring is the Ideal Time for Installation

Spring is traditionally associated with renovation and renewal, making it the perfect time to improve the safety and accessibility of your home. The milder weather conditions allow for smoother installation processes, minimizing potential delays caused by adverse weather. Additionally, homeowners often prefer to complete exterior home improvements before the heat of summer, ensuring their homes are prepared for various seasonal activities and demands. Installing Bilco or Cleargress doors with PermEntry stairs in the spring not only boosts your home's safety profile but also prepares your basement for increased use during warmer months.
