In one of our previous blogs, we discussed the benefits of installing a side entrance and whether or not it is best suited for you. If you are one of those interested in installing a side entrance, it is important to also have an idea of where the side entrance will be installed. Although your contractor will specify each detail of your side entrance, it is still important for you to have an idea of the possible locations where a side entrance can be installed. This leads into this blog, in which we will discuss some of the possible locations in your home, where the contractor will add a side entrance.
Where Can You Add A Side Entrance In Your Home?
Where Can You Add A Side Entrance In Your Home?
Side of Garage
In many homes, the side entrance, whether it is pre-installed by the builder or added through a contractor, is installed on the side where the garage is located and specifically close to the garage door through which you enter your home. If the basement is located on the same side as the garage, then the location of the side entrance will remain the same, and the best part of it is that since everything is located on a single side, this leaves space at all other parts of the house.
Opposite of Garage
In some homes, you will find that the entrance to the basement is to the opposite side of the garage, which means that the side entrance will be installed on the side where the basement stairs are located. The benefit of having the basement located on the opposite side of the garage is that there won’t be a disturbance, and the tenant can easily enter their basement without having to disturb. In some bigger homes the side at which the garage door is located, builders tend to leave space in the area, which can in the future be converted as a laundry room or even have that area as a small storage space.
Backyard
In some scenarios, you will find that instead of creating a side entrance at the side of your home, people tend to create an entirely separate entrance to the basement from their backyard. The benefit of creating such an entrance is the ability to access the basement straight through a single entrance, and it also becomes a quieter process for the homeowners. In some scenarios like not having enough gap between two houses to ensure a legal basement, adding a separate entrance to the back of your home remains the only option. For owners of corner lot properties, installing a side entrance or separate entrance on any side is easy for them, while for someone with less space, there are limited options.
