Unfortunately a great many people do not spend
enough time or thought on their basement lighting,
basement windows or basement doors. Because
they are down there these items often get too little
care then the owners wonder what does not feel
right about the basement. You may go with recessed
lighting instead of the bare bulb. Think what a
difference just that little change could make.
Fluorescent lights are very energy efficient and
provide good general light for playrooms, workshops
or storage rooms. You can also be economical by
installing occupancy or motion sensors so that the
basement lights come on when you come down
stairs and will go off shortly after you leave the area.
Basement windows can be pleasant to look at as
well as helping greatly with the illumination of the
basement. If your home is older, the windows are
most likely small wooden framed after thoughts. You
may need to have basement window wells installed
on the outside of your house. This will allow you to
put in large enough windows to help with the
basement lighting as well as being the basement
egress windows that are required if the cellar is to be
occupied. Proper windows and good basement
lighting will help raise the basement from the dingy
dungeon to a fantastic expansion of your home.
Basement doors are also items often overlooked.
Whether you want the basement door to be an
entranceway to your home or just wish for it to be a
way to get the furniture in and out and be a fire
escape. This decision will dictate the kind of
stairway that will be built. Some of the older homes
only had coal chutes or wood chutes to the outside.
Luckily, we do not need to use them for that
anymore so they can be converted to windows or
doorways. Basement doors built of steel are a great
plan as they provide increased security for your
family. The door should have a window so as to help
with the basement lighting. So when planning your
basement renovation remember to pay attention to
the basement lighting, basement windows and
basement doors.
