Glazed Cellar Doors


We are the leading installer of cellar / bulkhead doors in Central and Northern New Jersey, and in Eastern Pennsylvania. We can install Bilco, Gordon, and Steelway, but we strongly prefer Steelway. It is the superior brand across the board, on all points. The advantages of Steelway are documented on our BRANDS page.

 

There's a few things we do differently from all other installers.

 

First, we have pioneered the concept of glazing cellar doors instead of painting them. Cellar doors are much like bathtubs, both are steel objects that get wet. You wouldn’t want your bathtub painted, would you? We buy the glazing directly from an industrial chemical supplier. It is a three or four component mix, depending on the application process. The glazing is a non-porous barrier between the steel and the elements, stopping all rust. Every square inch is glazed at my shop, prior to delivery.  Any color can be ordered.


Second, we never use Type-S Mortar to secure the unit. Water enters Type-S mortar, either directly on the molecular level, or via cracking between steel and mortar, causing the embedded steel to rust out. We use a hydraulic anchor cement that rates at 9000 psi (pounds per square inch), versus 1800 psi for mortar. The hydraulic quality eliminates water penetration, and the anchor quality at 9000 psi prevents cracking between steel and cement. The bond between cement and steel is so strong it would be difficult to ever remove the unit. That's what you want and need.

TESTIMONIALS


"We needed our Bilco door replaced and came across Eric's website. Glad I did. Eric gave us a great quote and explained the whole project from A to Z. We didn't feel any pressure into hire him. He also supplied the door which he glazed himself. It came out really nice. Our old door was really old and discontinued, Eric made the necessary adjustments in order to install the new one without any issues. He is really attentive to details. If anyone needs a Bilco replaced, Confident Home Remodelers and Eric is the company to go with."
