Custom Basement Entrance Enclosures
Below Ground.
Above Expectation.
Our glass enclosures are made to fit your basement entrance, turning it into a safe, bright space. Each one is designed for your specific opening and built to handle the particular challenges below ground.
Entrances below ground come with their own set of challenges. Issues like water leaks, limited natural light, rainwater pooling, and soil pressure mean you need a solution created for these conditions, not a one-size-fits-all product.
A Lumina basement entrance enclosure addresses all these issues. We choose glass that lets in as much light as possible, add drainage at the base, and use seals designed for below-ground water exposure rather than just surface weather.
We pay close attention to every detail, so the result is a basement entrance that stays dry, feels bright, and looks carefully designed from the street down to your basement.
Applications
Every below-grade opening is a design opportunity.
Residential Basement Conversions
A glass entrance brings natural light into your converted basement and gives you a real entryway, not just a basic utility hatch.

The Conditions Are Specific. So Is the Solution.
Basement entrances are not a standard job and we do not treat them like one. Bring us the opening, the drainage situation, and the brief and we will design something built precisely for what is there.
