Benefits of a Powder Coated Basement Door

A basement door prevents water, insects, and pests from entering your basement with a watertight seal, helping keep it dry and clean. As a result, you can access and exit your basement from the outside, allowing you to use it for storage. Basement doors can also be used as emergency exits in case of fire or other emergencies.

In most cases, basement doors are made of steel, which makes them durable and reliable. If you are looking for a basement door that offers more, consider a powder-coated basement door. The Powder Coat is a factory-applied polyester resin that provides additional benefits. Below are the benefits of a basement door with a powder coating.

Basement doors receive powder coating by applying free-flowing powder. The powder is then baked to form a thick, uniform coat on the doors, forming a skin over the metal. Baking the powder onto the doors creates a high-end finish.

The powder coating process ends with the powder becoming chemically bonded to the basement doors. Wet painting will result in a physical bond. The process adds durability to the steel doors. The powder coating over the door makes it more resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. It will also help the door last longer.

As mentioned, the powder-coated doors resist chipping, peeling, cracking, corrosion, and abrasion. Except for occasional cleaning, you do not have to worry about performing maintenance. The doors will stay in top condition for years with minimal effort.

If you are worried that the powder coating is bad for the environment, fear not! The coating will emit zero or near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), avoiding a bad smell in your basement. The coating itself can be recycled to achieve nearly 100% use. Dry-coated basement doors eliminate the worry of chemicals leaching into the soil.

Powder-coated basement doors offer benefits that a normal basement door does not. The finish provides protective skin and improves the overall look. The powder coating adds durability, making it resistant to scratches, chipping, and peeling. The durability eliminates the need for maintenance. The doors also do not pollute the soil or emit a smell.
