A door won't solve everything

That drafty entrance is often part of a larger weather-sealing issue for the suite. Cold air can seep in around the old frame or through the worn threshold, driving up heating costs in this area.

This project can also enhance your home’s curb appeal. Selecting a door with integrated blinds maintains privacy while giving the exterior a modern finish that stands out.

Exterior Door Installation

In Tsawwassen, we usually install pre-hung fiberglass doors for basement suites. These doors resist warping from the damp coastal air. The frame is secured to the foundation with corrosion-resistant fasteners and placed on a sloped sill pan that directs water away from the threshold.

We wrap the rough opening with a self-adhered flashing membrane. This membrane overlaps the foundation waterproofing to create a drainage path. PVC or composite trim boards seal the edges, and the door sweep and compression gasket keep wind-driven rain from entering at the sill.

Moisture Control and Air Sealing

The building envelope at a below-grade entrance must handle water and vapor, especially during Tsawwassen’s rainy winters. A drainage plane behind the door flange, often made of a dimple mat or liquid-applied membrane, guides any moisture that gets past the cladding down to the footing drain.

We seal the gap between the door frame and rough opening with low-expansion foam. This, along with an interior air barrier, prevents warm indoor air from reaching the cold frame and condensing. The sloped sill pan also acts as a barrier, stopping water from being drawn under the door.

Permit Requirements for Suites

For a home in Tsawwassen, creating or legalizing a basement suite requires a residential building permit from the City of Delta. The City’s building-renovating guidelines state that permits are needed to complete an unfinished basement area and to construct a secondary suite. All plans must follow the current BC Building Code and City of Delta bylaws.

On Tsawwassen First Nation lands, a basement suite must have its own cooking, sleeping, and bathing facilities. It must have direct access to the outside without passing through the main dwelling. The suite must be located within a single detached house or accessory building. Only one suite is allowed per parcel, and it can be a maximum size of 90 m² or 40% of the gross floor area. These rules affect how a basement suite can be designed, especially the need for a separate exterior entrance, which impacts exterior remodeling work.

The City of Delta’s secondary suite policy states that secondary suites are allowed in most single-detached and duplex residential zones if on-site parking can be provided. The suite must also comply with the BC Building Code. This affects basement suite projects in Tsawwassen by requiring enough on-site parking and full compliance with building-code rules such as egress windows, fire separations, and safe access. These may require changes to exterior walls, windows, doors, and exterior stairs or landings.
