Bilco
Bilco has long been recognized as a leader in basement access solutions, trusted by homeowners and contractors for their exceptional durability, security, and performance. Bilco basement doors are engineered for long-lasting protection, offering a secure, code-compliant entry point that withstands years of exposure to the elements. With rugged construction, weather-tight design, and smooth operation, Bilco products set the standard for reliability in basement entry systems.
In addition to doors, Bilco’s expertise extends to window wells that meet International Residential Code (IRC) requirements. Egress window wells are essential for providing safe, emergency-ready exits from basement spaces while also bringing in natural light and ventilation. Whether you’re finishing a basement or upgrading to meet safety codes, a high-quality egress window well is a vital investment for both compliance and peace of mind.
Window wells themselves play a critical role in protecting basement windows from soil, moisture, and debris while enhancing the exterior appearance of your home. Available in materials such as steel, composite, and plastic, window wells can be chosen to match your aesthetic preferences and performance needs. When paired with a secure cover, they also help prevent water intrusion and improve overall basement safety.
By choosing Bilco basement doors along with properly designed window wells and protective window wells, homeowners can significantly improve the functionality, safety, and value of their homes. These solutions work together to create a basement environment that is secure, well-ventilated, and prepared for emergencies, which transform lower levels from dark, unused spaces into bright, accessible, and code-compliant living areas.
