PermEntry® Installation

You supply the foundation opening . . . PermEntry does the rest.

The PermEntry Basement is delivered and installed by Bilco PermEntry dealers in just a few hours. The following is an overview of the installation process.

Installing the PermEntry Basement Entrance:

1

Holes for special high-strength bolts are drilled through foundation. 

2

Facing surfaces are coated with self-sealing butyl resin strip sealant for a watertight seal. The PermEntry precast stairwell is then lowered into position onto the foundation footing.

3

Precast stairwell is secured prior to backfill through foundation wall using built-in steel anchors. On a block or precast foundation, a permanent steel support is installed on a concrete slab underneath the precast unit.

4

The all-steel Bilco basement door assembly is anchored to the precast stairwell and caulked.
